So, given that abortions will take place no matter whether they're legal or not, you'd rather that there be a substantially increased chance that the woman will die during the procedure.
Compassionate conservatism at work.

I started the complaint with reference to our modern Great Society and its resultant ills. I pointed to abortion and noted the activist courts and the silver-spoon cheering section. 1973 ring any bells in this context here?
RT came back with charts showing declines in murders (from the peak years during the crack wars) and in teenage birthrates and abortion rates from something-like 1990. I point out that I'm looking to drive rates back to where they were before the G promised to fix everything. You point out how obviously correct my point is, even with a "Duh"! Now you say my comparison doesn't take into account actual numbers. I simply don't agree that no comparison can be made with pre-1973 numbers, although some of the pre-1973 numbers are estimating illegal abortions.
And yes, if people get illegal abortions, I understand they will be taking risks with their lives. If you and Sebby's purported majority care so much, y'all can fly em to California to have the abortions. I think criminals should be shot.
