Now, did I deny that there were no abortions prior to
Roe vs. Wade? Nope. Never did I say that. I did say, however, that the number of abortions has increased
SUBSTANTIALLY since
Roe vs. Wade. To argue against that you'd have to present the argument that 25%+ (Which, mind you, has been as high as 30%) of
ALL pregnancies prior to 1973 ended in abortions.
Linky linky
Out of 211M pregnancies a year, there are approximately 46M (We'll say 27M safe and 19M unsafe) abortions done of which 68,000 women die (.36% of unsafe abortions result in the death of the female). If I'm understanding you right, you somehow believe that if abortion was illegal right now that suddenly we'd have 46M+ unsafe abortions per year? Ehhh... I highly doubt that. I've no doubt there'd be some unsafe abortions per year, but nowhere near the ridiculous amount of the number of total abortions we have today.
