- There are no children killed in abortion monkey-boy, only fetuses.
- But, sicne you are still claiming that there are more women killed now
- by abortions then there were in the illegal days, lets us do some very
- simple math...
- 1.4 million abortions were performed in 1990.
- .004% of the women involved died.
- ----
- A little simple math, and we find that this amounts to 56 women dying
- in 1990 from the abortions.
- Now we compare that the the thousands that died from illegal
- abortions.
- Somehow, your claim seems to be just so much hot air.
- Why doesn't that suprise anybody, monkey-boy?
