Perhaps, but given that people have tried doing liposuctions, vasectomies, and other legal procedures at home resulting in death or injury, making it legal won't prevent unsafe attempts either (although it might be a necessary first step towards creating safe alternatives). Accessibility and anonymity might play a stronger role in safer abortions, but I assume it will never be easy for a teenager to go get an abortion behind their parents back regardless of legality, so there will always be unsafe attempts.
Which is exactly what I meant when saying that making something illegal doesn't mean they no longer exist.
But thanks for spelling it out. I thought you got it when I posted it.
