More projection from the Dummies.
Simply by making abortions illegal we will drastically reduce the number of abortions. The abortion rate in Ireland is 4.4 per 1000 women per year (these are women who travel to the UK for an abortion). In 2010, only 4,402 women traveled to the UK to have an abortion in Ireland.
In 2008, 1.2 million abortions took place in the US. Even if some women end up going to another country to have an abortion, that number would be greatly reduced just by making abortion illegal.
