I&#x27;m not sure how many people have &quot;no problem&quot; with either abortion or torture. The people who support them after having thought about it generally do so because they see the alternative as worse, similar to people who want to see hard drugs legalized to ensure people don&#x27;t have to deal with black markets, criminal gangs, and dangerous substitute chemicals.<p>(disclosure: I&#x27;d ban torture, but for both abortion and most drugs I&#x27;d legalise them and try via other methods to reduce the amount that actually occured e.g. better sex-ed and provision of contraception, or better addiction treatment and channeling people towards less harmful (though still currently illegal) drugs.
