If the number of abortions increases, it is most likely directly proportional to the general increase of population, not the increase of legalized abortion clinics. And, really, if a pregnant woman is scared and desperate enough to get rid of her baby, she'll find ways, regardless of what the laws have to say about it.

That reminds me... back in my last year of highschool, we saw a video 'bout this, 'bout abortion in Russia, and why people wanted it to be legalized there. Right now, it's illegal there, but there're still alot of girls that want to have an abortion, and are helped by old housewives, who take care of it by putting lipstick on a knitting needle, and performing an abortion like that. The reason why they all want it to become legal to perform abortions, is because how it currently is, doesn't avoid the practice anyways, and if they'd do it legally, it'd be done by professionals, with equipment made for it, drastically decreasing the number of accidents that now happen during these illegal abortions.
