Yes, it's an extreme -- banning ALL of something is an extreme by definition. If we ban ALL car bombing, EVER, that's an extreme. But there are some things that just aren't ever okay to do. That's what we have laws for.
(I don't take an absolute extreme position on abortion, but I'm as close as anyone generally gets: I feel it should be illegal unless the mother's life is in danger. Obviously in that case abortion isn't just okay but the right thing to do; one death is tragic but it's better than two.)
