No, banning will result in just as many, if not more deaths. Instead of going to a hospital to get an abortion, women will get abortions done on the street and by unprofessionals, thus putting them in grave danger.

More abortions = more deaths. Every single abortion results in at least one death. Banning abortions therefore saves at least that many lives. |
Banning abortion won't stop it happening. Women will still go for abortions except they will do it in unsanitary conditions and will therefore be likely to get an infection and die, so not only will the unborn child die, but so will the mother.

Slavery and abortion are two entirely different things.

Not in this context. I was using slavery as an example of something else you should not compromise on. Slavery is wrong and should be outlawed...there is no compromise. |
You have stated that abortion is acceptable if the mother's life is at risk, therefore you have compromised.
