No, Al Capone was specifically cited as an example to show that prohibition doesn't stop X, and have bad side effects. Just removing the banning doesn't put the genie back in the bottle, but it does allow progress to actually be made. With or without prohibition, there will always be a market...

This is not how economics works, again. The people trying to kidnap kids to preform labor are probably very different than the ones who kidnap kids to preform sex acts. You haven't proven your point again. ... Planned Parenthood doesn't enable child prostitution. You need a ton more evidence...

So some of it is basic thought and reasoned argument, which stands on its own merit, though others have argued it better. I'd look at the book Narconomics in particular for it's discussion about how to stop the horrors of the drug trade, and it's discussion about how to stop gang violence...

You are citing what looks like two example in an attempt to prove a larger point. First, the plural of anecdote is not data, until you have a couple hundred anecdotes. Second, and here's the big problem: almost everyone but the most vile people think of themselves as the good guys. Doctors...

They don't enable each other though. 1) Abortion reduces unwanted children, and directly causes the lowering of unwanted or impoverished children, which means that it significantly lowers the number of kids that are vulnerable to abduction. 2) Abortionists usually do report kids if they think...

Um, no, I'm also pro-life (post about 8 weeks, as that's when I think life begins, I've discussed this elsewhere. If people want to continue this, I suggest this thread, or another if we are talking about the morality of abortion itself). I specifically noted that it's unethical in my post and...

I mean, no, the opposite is true. If you murder the baby, you can't traffic the child. If anything, abortion would stop this. I mean, it's in no way an ethical way to stop this, but that doesn't mean that it doesn't work.
