    Oh, so the mother’s die every time?

    Even under your bad definition it’d be only 50-60% (accounting for the fact that some mothers do die)

      That’ll make it 200% if they did

        You can’t have a higher than 100% death rate, that means more people died than were involved in what happened

        By reasonable definition that’s 1 death: the mother

        By your own poor definition it’s 2: mother and fetus

        So where are we getting extra from?

          The fundamental core issue is: do we count the foetus as a life? If so, there’s no such thing as a “safe abortion”

            We do not, simple as, because it’s not

            That wouldn’t magically change the death rate, though, which was my point, don’t change the subject. If you’re not smart enough to understand basic math I’m not sure we should even pretend to respect your opinions on things more complicated than that, like basic science
