The two main points I thought were worth of being addressed were this remark about ratio of firearm homicide to abortion:
"Yes, I had the same rate in mind. 1,3% of a million is 13,000 a year. In the USA, less people die by firearm assaults. Are deaths of firearm assault rare?"
His contention was countered with the comment that US gun murders are closer to 15,000 but that percentage technicality didn't really address the substance of what AD posted.
Also, he offered this refutation of your legal claims regarding R v. Wade which I also thought deserved to at least be addressed:
In Roe v Wade, there's a penal law for abortions after viability, except when the mother's physical health is directly threatened, that are not regulated by the State. In the NY adaption the penal law for abortion after viability has been completely repealed. In practice this means, unlike Roe v Wade, that
any medical professional that is not a licensed physician
cannot be penalized for performing
any abortion after viability as long as it has the mother's consent.
