This drug always kills one person

Touche. But given that abortion is legal, the most common victim doesn't count in the statistics, so trying to get it restricted on that basis won't work. In terms of risk to the mother, 5 possible deaths over 5 years is insignificant.

In the past 32 years, over 40 million lives have been lost due to abortion (very few statistics are kept on how many women die as a direct result of abortions, plus many more commit suicide over guilt). Nearly a half million have been killed with these drug-induced abortions.

The fact that something is legal doesn't mean it is right. This is the same fallacious argument that was used for centuries to justify slavery.

[Charles H. (The_r0nin)]

Touché, but the fact that slaves are not legally considered people, but property, means that an argument to have slavery repealed on the basis of human rights won't work...

The mere legality of a practice has no bearing on what the citizens of a nation feel about that practice (see "jury nullification" for real-world examples of this). Abortion is the slavery of the 20th (and now, sadly, the 21st) century, and will be looked back by future generations with the same horror and revulsion. Just like with slavery, it is the moral argument that will prove to be the greatest weapon against abortion. And that is why we should never abrogate our right nor will to use it...
