anti-abortion folks still get abortions

Most Americans--and most people--do not support a total ban on abortion. By what right should an extreme minority position be imposed on others?

I'm not sure that this is the best sort of argument to use in this situation. I know I have often complained that the "unconstitutional" will of the majority is being foisted on the minority. My understanding is that the US system was set up to protect the minority from the majority. Don't get me wrong, I am 100% pro-choice, but this seems like a weak argument in any situation.

Best argument? Perhaps not. But it remains a fact.

True enough.

but as to protecting the minority, I agree--they should not be required to have abortions, despite the obvious benefits to the rest of us.

Amen. Now this is much better way to frame the more/fewer argument.
