    I think one of the problems is women who die because they have a miscarriage and can’t get medical support. This is something completely avoidable, but the laws are catching these people in the crossfire.

      True, but when you compare the numbers, just 3 women have died. 50783 babies have been saved. So a net of 50780 lives have been saved.

          50,000 unwanted babies = plenty very angry adults in 30 years. I would know as a child of teen pregnancy. Having a 16 year old mom with nothing to offer me but Ramen and horror movies living under the thumb of a mad woman who made it her lifes work to undermine my mother really did wonders for moms mental health.
