Obviously we don't know how many women were denied abortion die but we do have a good estimate of the number of women that wouldn't have died if they would have had an abortion.
In 2005 there were 11 deaths related to childbirth per 100,000 births. There were approximately 4 million births in 2005 so about 440 women's lives would have been saved if they would have had an abortion for 2005 alone.

We also don't know how many women's lives were save because they were allowed to have an abortion. It would be logical to assume, because abortion is legal and women can learn if their life is in danger, that far more than the 440 in 2005 were saved because they didn't have to experience child birth.

As my post directly addressed this the pre-born are not legally "persons" and only the unlawful killing of a person is at issue. Many things can be "killed" such as sheep, goats and cancer cells but that does not imply that "murder" is being committed and, in fact, it has not.
Many anti-abortionists like to believe that "murder" is being committed but before they can make that claim first they need to establish "personhood" of the pre-born because currently the pre-born are not persons and cannot be murdered.

ARE you pro-choice? If you are then you condone abortion and want no protection for the unborn….despite what you say here.
What you want is socialism. You want to force people to do what you want them to do. No one should be forced to buy health insurance they don't want. And no one should be forced to buy someone else a house…or a car or health insurance. This thread however is not about Obama Care….this asks a simple question…..could you stand next to an abortionist and watch an abortion. Yes or no.
And I am not talking about children already born….this is about THE CHILD IN THE WOMB. AND IF YOU WERE SUCH A GENUINE PRO-LIFER YOU WOULD REALIZE IT.
Could you watch a live abortion….THAT IS THE SUBJECT OF THE THREAD.
OK THANKS FOR EXPLAINING. What I don't get is that the doctors did not even determine how far along she was. This is not hard to do with ultrasound. And in later term abortion an ultrasound is always done. Nevertheless she was a product of a botched abortion…not sure how they were trying to kill her…but she lived. Praise God. This child was always a child from conception.

This question is so hard for some to answer…….wow.
I am not asking for an essay…a long response. Just a yes or no.
You don't need to elaborate…………..just yes or no will do. It only involves…no more than three keys on your keyboards.
LOL
I'm really not sure why you think that getting someone pro-choice to admit they wouldn't want to witness an abortion means you've achieved some kind of "game changer". I don't particularly want to view ANY medical procedures. Why would an abortion be any different? On the flip side, because I DON'T want to view someone getting a colonoscopy, should we outlaw those too because they must be immoral since I don't want to view one?
You know what, I just had an epiphany.
I don't like "viewing" my bills. Can we outlaw bills? Please? I don't like viewing myself giving my money to someone else for something I am purchasing because then that money is no longer mine. Lets outlaw having to pay for stuff too.

"The whole "us verses them/right verses left" mentality is childish; leave that crap in the sporting arena and understand that political discussions are no place for torrid, angry argument, rather rational dialogue whereby we may deepen and hone our own beliefs. Anyone declaring "liberalism" or "conservatism" as finite terms distinguishing absolute morality is grossly misguided and closed minded. They're just words; and we're just people. Political positions aren't sports teams." - TitoSparks
