According to the CDC (link), there are roughly 12 deaths per 100,000 births per year, 60% of which occurred after the live birth and so would be prevented by an abortion. There are roughly 4 million births per year, which would equal about 480 deaths per year. According to the Census Bureau (link) there are roughly 300 million people in the US, all of which would be effected by abortion legislation -- not just women who are pregnant right now. 480 deaths out of 300,000,000 people effected = .00016%. So, legislation which supports abortion in the case of preventing deaths from pregnancy complications, is catering to .00016% of the population of the US.
Better?

That is awesome seretogis, and I completely share your opinion on the whole issue.
