It's amazing how the "laws don't stop illegal activity" mantra doesn't apply when politicians draft laws on drugs, abortions, or any other kind of questionable activity.
I'm not quite sure what you mean by that, the laws exist to protect the rights of individuals, but it can only function as a deterrent or as a punishment. The personal use of drugs probably shouldn't be the purvue of government, while preventing the death of an innocent life is one of the few legitimate purposes of government.
