I don't care about the ones who survive. But the numbers who die are a lot less than the number of legal abortions every year.
42 million abortions each year (including unsafe abortions)
68,000 women die each year from unsafe abortions.
Wikipedia states that:
"The
World Health Organization (WHO) reports each year nearly42 million women faced with an
unintended pregnancy have an abortion
[3]; and according to the 2007 estimates conducted collaboratively by the WHO and
Guttmacher Institute, 20 million unsafe abortions take place each year, most in countries where abortion is illegal
[4]. According to WHO and Guttmacher, approximately 68,000 women die annually as a result of complications of unsafe abortion; and between two million and seven million women each year survive unsafe abortion."
