I saw a movie called "If These Walls Could Talk". It deals with abortion from the perspective of 3 different generations. One of them is played by Demi Moore. She's a nurse and she lost her husband on the war (forgive me if I'm getting the story a little wrong, it's been a long time since I watched it). Anyway, she has a thing with her brother in law and falls pregnant. Now this is the 50s, so for her to have this baby would destroy her whole life since it would uncover the "affair" she had with her brother in law. Cutting a long story short, because abortion was illegal, she ended up sticking big needles inside herself. Then she called a "doctor" to perform the abortion at her kitchen table. She bled to death.
What I'm trying to say (and I think I'm repeating what Gypsy has already said) is that women will have abortions if they really want to. Legalizing it just helps the woman in the situation by not condemning her to die.
