I didn't challenge any assertion specifically about latin american countries

Yes, you did. I said:

"The simple truth of the matter is that in Roman Catholic Latin America, abortion is illegal, but is being performed at one of the highest levels in the world."

You challenged it, I quote:

"No its not the simple truth. Communist and former communist countries have higher rates."

You say that "the statistics show very clearly...the religious opposition was not reducing abortions, but only endangering mothers". The statistics show no such thing.

Let me ask you something: Taking the question in general terms--do you believe that having an abortion in a country where abortions are illegal is safer than having an abortion in a country where abortion is legal??

Secondly, do you believe that unsafe abortions are unsafe, and is it fair to say that that which is unsafe is also an endangerment??
