How could they possibly have lost more than they gained? Abortion has been legal nationwide for 40 years.

As yes, this little number.  As expected, the zealatious cultists that comprise the American right wing did their fair best to make this a week long mourning of all the poor little zygotes lost in the last forty years of secular tyranny.  Of course, they should have been celebrating all the women whose lives were saved by access to safe, legal abortion... Being so pro-life and all.  As it is, they fail to hit the point on the head, as always. 

Cite actual numbers please?

So using your own numbers, and the liberal estimate possible (maximum deaths, minimal illegal abortions) less than 0.2% of illegal abortions resulted in death. Meanwhile about 1% of abortions are late term, aka viable outside of the womb.

As Left Wing Activist Barbie says, "Math is hard!!!"

Cite actual numbers, please.  Plus, hasn't there been a push to make late-term abortion illegal?  Furthermore, aren't most late-term abortions done to save the life of the mother? 

I'll retract the 1% statement. However, the point remains.

Women dying in illegal abortions<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<Fetuses killed in legal abortions

The calculus is perfectly rational for a pro-lifer and your assertion of them missing the point is completely baseless.

I even regret the statement about viability as the early term one would mostly have developed in into healthy post-birth babies had they been carried to term.
