Paul,
Why did you ignore the points that he asked you to respond to point by point?

>Let's say Susan, who is 4 months pregnant, decides to have an abortion because she decided she doesn't want to be a mommy. She's only 20 years old and isn't even out of college yet. She doesn't believe she can support the baby, and the thought of giving the baby up for adoption is heart-wrenching to her because she doesn't think she could ever FORGET the baby she gave up...never mind that she won't anyway, that giving it up would be far easier on her conscience than knowing that she killed her, but let's move on with the hypothetical story.
>
>Because abortion is so safe, and so legal, in this country - Susan decides to go ahead with the "surgery". But Susan isn't the daring type, and if abortion were illegal, she probably would find a different way out of this situation that she finds herself in. Maybe she would entertain the idea of giving the baby up for adoption, but Susan isn't the type of person who would be brave enough to chance losing her own life in a botched "back-alley-use-a-hanger" abortion. She just wouldn't do it if it were illegal. But since it is legal and extremely convenient in the urban area in which she lives, she decides to go ahead with it rather than carrying the baby to term.

>Susan manages to find the nearest "doctor" to perform it. The "doctor" isn't the brightest one around, naturally no self-respecting medical student actually ASPIRES to become a baby-killer upon graduation....those who later become hired killers (or, "doctors") aren't the cream of the crop, so to speak.
>
>Anyway, let's imagine that this sub-par "doctor" botches the "surgery" and punctures Susan's uterus. Susan develops are severe internal hemmorrage and suffers from a massive amount of bleeding even though a trip to the nearest hospital's emergency surgical center had been undertaken. She, and her baby girl, are now dead.
>
>If abortion were illegal, Susan would not have lost her life, because she would not have had the abortion to begin with. I don't pretend to know how often, if at all, this has happened. I know there have been deaths from "LEGAL" abortions that have been BOTCHED. There have been deaths from root canals, for that matter.
>
>Having abortion be "legal" in this country only increases the number of them which are performed. Common sense tells us that the vast majority of women who "choose" to kill their babies today wouldn't do so if the process wasn't legal and easily available. They just wouldn't do it.
>
>Because the "legality" of abortions increases their number from thousands to million and a half a year, it is easy to imagine that out of 1.5 million abortions....a certain number go awry DESPITE our "best" medical expertise (which isn't the case, by the way....no medical student actually aspires to go into this dirty practice.) I would GUESS, and it is only a GUESS, that the number of botches "LEGAL" abortions, and the resulting deaths, far outnumber those which occurred when abortions were ILLEGAL simply because the numbers have gone up.
>
>Never mind the hundreds of thousands MORE babies who are killed because it was made legal, which wouldn't have been killed if the "procedure" weren't so readily available......
