- I think we have to realize that *IF* abortion is outlawed, it will be
- because it has been decided that the fetus is a person. IF the fetus
- is human, then you do the math:
-
- Number of women who die in illegal abortions = tens-of-thousands
-
- Number of fetuses who die in legal abortions = millions
-
- Which is better? Kill millions of *people* with abortion legal?
- Or kill tens-of-thousands of *people* with abortion illegal?
- **IF** the fetus is a person, then the choice is clear.
- ^^
-
- *UNLESS*, you are one of those people that believes that human
- life is not important and "the fewer humans, the better." Then
- the choice can only be legal abortions.
