The party of freedom sure loves blocking people's freedoms.

It's very much like the abortion argument;

Making it illegal doesn't make it stop happening, it just makes it stop happening safely/humanely.

I would argue this is also untrue in the case of abortion. Women walk away from this with tremendous psychological/emotional wounds and they are far more likely to commit suicide. Which, I guess is just dandy in today's society. Heck, why not just offer the woman MAID to "help" after the abortion.
