First let’s distinguish between criminal acts like abortion and civil like speeding.
I do not believe we should be putting people who get abortions into jail. I never believed that drug users belonged in jail. I personally believe that jail should be for those who are a danger to society.
existing precedence shows where these laws are going. Example. After the NYS safe act the government brought a case against a man Who had 8 bullets in his clip/gun rather than the legalized seven. Our government wanted to send him to jail. Existing gun owners are not hardened criminals that we should be seeking to send thousands of them to jail.
As I said as of right now tens of thousands of New York assault rifle owners are officially felons because they refuse to comply with the law. The government has the balance what it’s trying to accomplish with reality. And if they see that the edicts are not being listened to they need to take that into account
Our chachumim never made a halacha if they saw the masses refused to comply
