Why pro-lifers should be thankful for Roe V. Wade

I saw the following message in a discussion forum online.  I too, am pro-life, and found this perspective enlightening.  I hope you do too.

Pro-lifers should be thankful for Roe V Wade. Roe V Wade allows abortion clinics to be in the public eye, instead of in secret. While in the public eye, abortion clinics can be used as means for education and abortion prevention.

Pro-lifers can try to convince a person to not abort a child. They can provide additional choices for keeping a child - like adoption. With Roe V Wade, abortion clinics can be monitored by the US government and controlled by some procedural guidelines.

If Roe V Wade is overturned, abortion clinics will go underground. Abortion clinics can appear in back of butchershops, backrooms or basements of homes, etc.  You may find do-it-yourself abortions.  Underground abortion clinics will not properly dispose of fetuses.  Pro-lifers will miss the chance to change the mind of a person thinking about abortion options - especially in desperation.

A women can receive a botched up abortion with serious permanent damage.

I am a pro-lifer; I would rather educate every person deciding about aborting a child then the alternative.
