Right now there are hardly any illegal abortions. But if abortion were made illegal? How far would the numbers shoot up?
You could look at previous numbers of deaths from illegal abortions, or people trying to make themselves miscarry, but this is a different time from then so the numbers will be different. In what way, who knows?
Apparently the numbers were seriously skewed at the time of Roe v. Wade, in favor of deaths from illegal abortions of course.

Seraph, you really should be careful what you say. This 'I care about the baby dying but not the stupid risk-taking mother' crap is only reinforcing the image 'Choicers have of 'Lifers. 'Save the baby! The mum can go to Hell for all we care!'
Honestly, people who think that can feel free to think that but they would be idiots. He stated several times that he cares about the mother, but if she takes a stupid risk it's her own fault that she dies.
This is one instance where I agree completely with divine. If you do something stupid and die from it, I might pity you, but I'm not going to go and cry about it. It's your own fault. It's not like you were walking along and got hit by a stray illegal abortion, or were the victim of an illegal abortion drive by. You decided to kill your unborn child, point one against you. In order to achieve this, you performed a risky procedure or took a dangerous amount of drugs. If you die from it it is your fault and no one else's.
