This is an excellent point, and I think much of the same principles apply to the abortion debate a well.

Not really. People will always get abortions and in some cases really need them. No-one forces the government to execute people.

Would you be ok with permitting murder on the basis "people will always do it."?

Because if you take the arguments of pro-life advocates on good faith, that's what you're saying. You can't make your case against position by ignoring the underlying reasons people hold it.
