Looking just at the U.S., the percentage of pregnancies ending in abortion (Once again, both legal and illegal) pre-Roe vs. Wade absolutely pails in comparison to the percentage of pregnancies ending in abortions post-Roe vs. Wade, especially in the 1980's.

The only correlation between the legality of abortion and the number of abortions performed is simply the number of abortions REPORTED. Most illegal abortions go unreported so anyone who has figures on the numbers of illegal abortions is pulling those figures out of the air.

And it's near political suicide to say "I support abortion". I can't remember the exact statistic, but most candidates who have been openly pro-abortion typically lose to their pro-life counterparts.

I dont know any candidates who have campaigned as "pro-abortion"...and there is absolutely no evidence that candidates who campaign as "pro-choice" typically lose. America is still "pro-choice" by a small margin, but it varies by state.
