There are countries that have made abortion extremely rare while allowing women to maintain the right of choice.
Let's assume we ban abortion tomorrow. What would be the criminal penalty imposed on a woman for procuring an abortion?
What state and city do you work in? I don't doubt that you see this, I'm just skeptical as to it's overall prevalence throughout the United States. For example a person might see this more often in San Fransico California when compared to Columbus Ohio. It's very rare around here.
My worldview is that we live in a fallen world. We are called to be individuals that preach the gospel. The world's system will never be holy and will never measure up to God's standards of righteousness. The idea behind Christian Reconstruction of our political system is a manipulative heresy employed by right wing extremists to control our voting habits.
When visiting other countries and seeing how their people live, the socio economic policies, such as health insurance, and even considering abortion rates I was amazed. We Americans are really hokey when it comes to politics.

We have laws that prohibit murder but it still happens. Does that mean we abolish it just because it doesn't always deter the act?
Scripture states that abortion is murder so the mother and the one who did it should receive the punishment due to them from scripture.
Your worldview is pragmatic relativism and is arbitrary and inconsistent. You also prove that you don't have an idea of what the Biblical view of the state should be.
Your final statement "A biblical society would be distributist in it's economics and communal in it's social structure." is pure fiction. You need to study before you make these comments.
