Question

Will outlawing abortions result in overpopulation?

Answer 1

Will it result in?

No, because the Earth is already overpopulated.

It would probably worsen the situation, however.

Though, women aren't going to stop getting abortions just because it's illegal- just take a look at history, or the countries it's illegal in currently.  

Answer 2

It didn't last time, like with making drugs, gambling, prostitution, or alcohol illegal, it just offers organized crime a new source of income.  Where there is demand there will always be supply, and the same people who oppose abortion deny that overpopulation, like global warming, is or can ever be a problem, so that isn't a consideration.  The only way to reduce abortions is to reduce unplanned pregnancies, and that requires realistic s*x education combined with ready access to contraceptive technology.

Answer 3

No! But it could lead to the deaths of many women who get "Back alley" abortions.

Answer 4

We have overpopulation *with* abortions.  Honestly, I don't think it will matter that much.
