Can someone explain the benefits of outlawing abortion?

In the 49 years Roe v. Wade was in place, the crime rate in the U.S. plummeted, the overall standard of living went up, more people were educated, technology advanced, and women and minorities enjoyed greater equality. The U.S. also became the sole superpower. You can argue that none of these were related to abortion, but that suggests abortion has no effect on anything. Some of the negative outcomes of outlawing abortion could be:

Increase in the maternal death rate for women who needed abortions for their own health-related reasons
Increase in the infant death rate for children with genetic defects who otherwise would have been aborted
increase in abandoned children and "dumpster babies"
Increase in poverty and child abuse of unwanted children
Growth of a black market in abortion, from "back alley" clinics, drug dealers selling abortion pills, and legitimate doctors performing abortions for their patients
Lower birth rates as more women opt for sterilization out of fear that they won't be able to have an abortion if they need one

So what are the benefits? I'm not looking for abstract platitudes like "increased respect for life" or other vague pronouncements. Abortion is illegal in Guatemala, but I wouldn't point to that country as one where life is respected. I'm asking for specific, concrete benefits. This may be difficult as countries where abortion is illegal tend to have less individual liberty and prosperity than countries where it's legal or at least easily accessible (for example, abortion is illegal in Malta, but Maltese women have an abortion rate similar to other EU countries because they simply go to Italy for their abortions).

Someone possibly could (I myself cannot entirely describe my thoughts on the subject). The fact stands that the political us versus them aspect seems to be far to ingrained in your question for any other opinions or views to be accepted.

@Notanymore I’m not hiding the fact that I support legal abortion. I’m asking what the benefits are in outlawing it. If you can’t think of any, just say so.

@LeopoldBloom I can think of plenty of people that have the opinion that a certain point between a fertilized egg and a baby, you still have life. Now there's many different opinions on what point that is and it does us no good to say my opinion is better than yours or anyone else's. To those that consider an unborn child to still be a child at whatever age, it's perfectly feasible to consider termination of that life to be killing a child, which in most people's book, is pretty bad.

@Notanymore Is a fertiized chicken egg an actual chicken? I've never seen any sold in the stores..

Notanymore · 41-45, M

@Diotrephes if you have ever cracked an egg that didn't get picked up fast enough, you'll have no doubts that it's a little chick, even if it doesn't hatch. There's definitely reasons you haven't seen fertilized eggs sold in stores, but I'm sure you're aware of those. Still trying to understand your point to be honest.

@Notanymore If a fertilized chicken egg is a chicken, then cut it up and sell it in the stores and restaurants.

@Diotrephes I take it, you've never seen a baby chicken. And you possibly are clueless as to how meat production works.....after a short time, there is a baby chicken inside of that egg, it's undeniable. Much too small to process though.

If people were hatched from egg shells like birds, do you think people would cook and eat them like chicken eggs?

@Diotrephes if little Froggy's had wings, would they bump their asses on the ground when they hopped?
