35. What needs to b emphasized strongly

is that if you make abortion illegal, it will NOT stop abortions. It will drive women to back alleys to be butchered. I remember when abortion was illegal, the wealthy could leave the country for a safe procedure while the poorer and average women went the illegal route risking their lives and their future fertility, and risked arrest as well as any doctor who assisted.

I had a very heated discussion about this at work. It is up to the woman, period.
Banning abortion will not save lives, it will take even more.
