Hi, glee. Two points:

1. I did say that my 1% figure was decades old. That implies it's old information, perhaps not current information.

2. Has any state outlawed abortion in the case of protecting the life of the mother? I know Alabama did as a temporary legal measure to get their pro-life law to SCOTUS (and the legal-ease they tried to avoid was trying to make the case for protecting the life of the baby while at the same time saying the baby is sometimes expendable in hardship cases). Thus, now that Roe is overturned, Alabama's legislature is already working on changing the law to allow hardship case abortions. I believe all of the pro-life states are doing the same. Thus, it's a moot point to argue the "But what about" situations -- it's already in the works to allow those abortions in the near future.

Regarding your two points:

1) The reference I used was written post SCOTUS decision in 2022. Given all the talk about the abortion issue, I am surprised there was no list of reasons statistics on the first Google page. I may go back and look at other pages.

2) I suspect some of the old laws that states are resurrecting after the SCOTUS decision may lack protection for the life of mothers. I wonder how many women will die or become permanently sterile before the issues are resolved. It would have been really helpful if there had been a waiting period of a number of months to allow laws to be revised to protect both women and fetuses.

Regarding the CONSTITUTION, I wonder if some well crafted abortion rights Amendment will be crafted and eventually be made part of our Constitution. This will certainly be happening in a number of states. The SLAVERY issue was eventually codified in this manner.
