The evidence is quite clear. Abortion rates are lower in first world countries where abortion is legal than in many societies were abortion is proscribed.
Like Volstead Act prohibition, rendering an activity illegal does not necessarily solve associated problems - and often makes problems worse.
Right now, the U.S. abortion rate is lower than it was prior to Roe v. Wade.
Social, political and economic facts indicate that banning abortion ban could increase the U.S. abortion rate.
Consider these particulars:
"If men could get pregnant, abortion would not be legal. It would be a sacrament."
If the 12 year old granddaughter of most pro-lifers ("pro-birthers" really) were rape-impregnated by Willie Horton, Gramma herself would take the child to the clinic.

Catholics Are Just As Likely To Get An Abortion As Other U.S. Women. Why?
Abortion Rates Often Go Down When Countries Make It Legal Whereas Countries With Stricter Abortion Laws Can Have Higher Abortion Rates
Althought the link below is not directly pertinent, it is fused with the same "ball of wax."
"How Did Jesus Come To Love Guns, And Hate Sex?"
Abortion, "Christian" "Conservatism," And Kamala Harris' Acceptance Speech As The Democratic Party's Vice-Presidential Candidate
They do this by claiming "the moral high ground" without acknolwedging, for example, that their political opposition to 1.) Universal Healthcare, 2.) a living wage and 3.) supplemental income for poor mothers fuels high abortion rates.
Sure, the "good Christians" can argue the "unworthiness" of poor mothers and their aversion to creating "dependency" on "the nanny state." But what do they want in their heart of hearts?
Do they want to be cheapskates or to diminish the number of abortions?
Whether these "good Christians" admit it or not, this is a choice they make.
Here is an example of an unavoidable choice that self-righteous "Christian" "conservatives" pretend they don't make:
