Yes, but you'd also meet a lot more mutilated women who resorted to illegal abortions using coat hangers and dirty equipment.

C'mon! Just because abortion wasn't legal before 1973, doesn't mean it didn't exist! My 79-year-old father is pro-choice because of the two girls he had to transport to the hospital after their illegal abortions. One was done with the traditional coat hanger, the other with a knife. What he saw on those two instances was so horrendous, that it changed his thinking---and he had discovered long dead bodies in the heat of August! Abortion has existed since the first unwanted pregnancy and will continue even if Roe v Wade is overturned. The difference is that right now those of us who choose to end a pregnancy have access to medical care even if we aren't wealthy enough to go overseas for it.

You cannot meet anyone who was aborted... whether abortion was legalized or not. Your question makes no sense.

People have been getting and doing abortions long before it became legalized, it only became safer. If it had never been legalized, they would still be getting them in nasty environments and dying of infections.

Depends. I'm adopted, and my birth mother chose to give up up FOR adoption rather than get an abortion.

Obviously. But if your making an anti-abortion argument, this probably isn't the way to go.

Yes. I think you'd enjoy the book "Freakonomics" One chapter covers this very topic in an interesting way. (Roe vs. Wade)

Yes, and they would be lawyers, doctors, politicians, laborers, and all type of other indiviuals contribution to society. An entire generation has been decimated.
