    A successful abortion always has at least a 100% fatality rate.

      Why does that matter? If the fetus cannot survive outside the womb due to genetic defects, why would I care about that when I could care about the health of the mother?

      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?
