To begin with, abortion is certainly not safer for the baby.  As for the mom, if we buy into this myth that abortion is safer than childbirth, and if our goal is to protect women, why aren’t we encouraging women to abort all of their pregnancies?  Obviously, that would save the most women.  Also, if we’re trying to protect women from their children, we should allow women to legally kill their born children as well.  After all, children sometimes cause the death of a parent through an accident, and some will even grow up to one day abuse or murder their parents.
