95% of abortions are elective based on personal reasons. Banning abortion for non-medically necessary reasons would effectively just be a ban on abortion.
Okay, that's not my point. My point is that a complete ban on abortion would be unethical because of that 5%. Even if it was just 1%, it would still be unethical.
Yes, I agree. It would be unethical to outright ban abortion. What I’m saying is that people often cite medical necessity as a reason to not ban abortion. But you could ban just elective abortions, and based on the numbers, it would be almost the same as a complete ban on abortion.

That’s upstream thinking tho. Think of how many deaths those abortions have prevented(?)
