We already know that abortion is used for unintended pregnancy. The question is how many really were necessitated by the need to save the mother's life or because a crime was committed where the woman never would have consented to the act in the first place.

no, it wasn't a full list. like i said, it probably is impossible to know just how many were caused by crime-i don't think some victims admit that they were just that.
but i didn't realize just how many pregnancies were unintended-and i think it also said something on there about other birth control having been used but failed.
at any rate, i am not trying to change your mind on anything-i'm just trying to explain why i think the right should remain.
