I'm guessing that if abortion were made illegal, somehow there wouldn't be nearly as many unintended or unwanted pregnancies anymore. Espcially when you consider how damn easy it is to NOT get pregant if you don't want too. And abortion is also about the money, you want to talk about a 'business' being protected by the government? Virtually no regulations or oversights and how much money do you think the abortion industry brings in annually?
Let's start with your claim that making abortion illegal will curb unplanned pregnancies. Currently, roughly half of all pregnancies in the US are unplanned. The state with the highest rate? Mississippi. Huh, that's weird, since abortion is all but banned in Mississippi.

Now, profit? Anything to back up that claim? Because the largest provider of abortion services in the US is planned parenthood...a non-profit organization. However there was some talk about PP "profiting", good thing politifact debunked that.

No regulations? Proof? Link? Canada has a
non regulated abortion services. There are virtually no laws at all on the books, it's entirely a medical issue and up to their doctors to decide.
Your article makes some really stupid assertions, and actually backs up what I'm saying. What the south having more unintended pregnancies has to do with the topic, I have no idea. Let's look at a few of the comments.
Difficulty in finding family-planning services? There are over 820 Planned Parent Clinics in the US alone, and they're not the only provider of abortion either. The 'denial' factor would go away if abortions were illegal and you had to face actual consequences of an unintended pregnancy. More people would responsibly use birth control, which is easily and widely available.
"We know we have very high levels of unintended pregnancy in the U.S., much higher than in most places around the developed world," says Kelly Musick, a sociologist at Cornell University in Ithaca, N.Y., who was not involved in the analysis.
In my opinion this is because we have created a culture in the U.S. where there are no consequences for certain irresponsible behaviors. When there are no consequences, then there are no deterrents to acting irresponsibly, so a good many people do. Put consequences back into place, and you will see the behavior change. It's a pretty simple concept.
"We do a better job of planning to buy tickets to see Lady Gaga than we do about being careful in planning for when we're going to have children, how many children and when in our lives we're going to have them," Brindis says
If that's the case, then that's just pathetic. Again, reinforces my comments about consequences deterring irresponsible behavior.
So, show me some numbers on what the abortion industry in the U.S. brings in every year?
Again, show me a link to regulations for abortion clinics.
