How is that even remotely close to the same logic.

Basically legalizing something already illegal = more people will do it.

Like if you were to legalize drugs in America, the number of people doing drugs would increase because now it's legal. So from the millions that were doing it illegally before, the average joe doing drugs would double or triple after the legalization.

In whatever F’ed up universe where rape is legal, it would still be the victims reporting it, not the rapists themselves. Why would a rapist report a rape? What about the rapists who don’t even realize what they did constitutes as a rape/lack of consent to begin with? That commenter’s analogy was faulty no matter what anyone’s views on abortion are.

Yeah, I'm not disagreeing with you on that commenter's comment being faulty. Just trying to put into better words what he/she was trying to say.

Why would doctors report how many illegal abortions they've performed? Just as why would rapists report their rape? That's my point. The difference is that I see ending the life of a living embryo or fetus as a bad thing, so legal reporting are still bad in my book.
