The available analysis does tend to support the hypothesis that restrictions on abortion availability reduces the number of abortions. Demand just cannot be eliminated by morality coercion. Thus, we'd still get a deterioration in mortality and morbidity via the 'unsafe' abortion market.
We therefore share out the misery between those that go ahead with an unwanted pregnancy and those that suffer from a reduction in the quality of health care
