You have no way of knowing this with complete certainty.

But for sake of discussion, how many criminals would you trade, for say, a person who discovered the cure for cancer?

Curing cancer outright would be the single biggest disaster in human history.

how many fast food workers do you trade for the next hitler?

The point is we don't really know what we do know is outlawing abortion will drive the price up but it won't stop it from happening. Might as well allow access to the procedure to the dregs to try and slow the idiocracy at least a little bit.

I can know with 99% certainty. Which type of kid is more likely to succeed: the kid who grows up in a loving middle class family, whose parents are still together, support their studies, and has one sibling; or the kid who hasn't seen his father in months, he's stuck living off of government cheese, his mother ignores him, his mother's boyfriend beats him, and he's got about a baker's dozen of siblings/half siblings? I'd say most of the victims of abortion come more from the later situation than the former.

And you can't say we lost innovation with complete certainty either
