Of National Right to Life female membership 245,000 have had abortions, of NARAL’s membership 39,000 had abortions. Therefore:
women who had abortions are six times more likely to be pro-life activists than pro-choice activists

These statistics are from the early 90s, but there are still very many post-abortion women in the pro-life movement.
There has been a 300% increase in ectopic pregnancy in 10 years after abortion was legalized. In 1970 the incidence was 4.8 per thousand births, by 1980 had risen to 14.5 per thousand births.

There are 15 times more abortions annually in the country than there were in the year prior to Roe versus Wade
Bernard Nathanson, Aborting America (New York: Doubleday, 1979) 40 – 1
This is proof that many women who would not have had an abortion if it was illegal chose to have abortions after Roe versus Wade. Women who are not willing to have illegal abortions will have them when abortion is legal.

Roe versus Wade said that abortion could not be banned in the first two trimesters, and could only be banned in the third trimester if there were exceptions for a woman’s health. But in tow versus Bolton, companion case to Roe V Wade, health was defined as the following:
Doe vs Bolton. The words of the Supreme court:
“…the medical judgment may be exercised in light of all factors- physical, emotional, psychological, familial, and the woman’s age- relevant to the well-being of the patient. All these factors may relate to health. This allows the attending physician the room he needs to make his best medical judgment. And it is room that operates for the benefit, not the detriment, of the pregnant woman.”

This means that abortions are legal through the entire nine months of pregnancy.
