So there, that's my story and I'm sticking to it.

Your story and you are sticking to it...even if it is a lie?
Prior to Roe, the largest number of illegal abortions per year was in 1961 and that number was about 210,000. The lowest number was about 35,000 in 1950. The average mean prior to Roe was less than 100,000. The huge numbers of women who died as a result of illegal abortions is a lie as well. The founder of NRAL has admitted that the numbers were grossly exagerated because they needed an image of carnage so that the public would support their cause.
So the number of abortions has actually gone from less than 100,000 to nearly 1.5 million per year. Does the truth affect your position in any way, or would you be just as comfortable if it were 10 million human beings being killed without legal consequence each and every year for no better reason than convenience?
