Pre-Roe abortion death statistics were radically overstated — Scott Klusendorf cites approximately 70 deaths in the year before Roe

Mike cites Scott Klusendorf's research showing that the pre-Roe death toll from illegal abortions was dramatically overstated. The actual number of women who died from botched abortions in the year before Roe was approximately 70, not the thousands often claimed. He also argues that even if the danger were real, helping someone kill another person more safely is not a valid justification — the solution is to not kill the person, not to make the killing safer. Crisis pregnancy centers and pro-life groups already help desperate women with other options.
