A simple search for "Suicide rate illegal abortion" will yield a plethora of results, most of which come from doctors rather then the biblical scriptures cited by most pro life organizations.
As for the once again stellar comparison you made, this time between someone of African decent and a fetus being considered fully human, you are correct in stating that in the past, Africans were denied the rights of "full humans". When did it become acceptable to consider a human less then human? Most slave owners quoted Genesis 9:25: "Cursed be Canaan! The lowest of slaves will he be to his brothers." Luckily both science and morals have triumphed over biblical scripture on that particular p#@*%!age. The root of the anti-abortion cause can also be found in the bible "And if men struggle with each other and strike a woman with child so that she has a miscarriage, yet there is no further injury, he shall surely be fined as the woman's husband may demand of him;" (Exodus 21:22-23). As one can plainly see, the bible condones considering a human life less than human, while simultaneously considering all life sacred. Since the writing of both p#@*%!ages, we have discovered some interesting things, such as the heart being nothing more than a cardiovascular pump, and the brain being responsible for cognitive functions. Science has proven the humanity of Africans, which I'm sure both you and most of the world would agree with. Science has also proven that a fetus is incapable of even such a simple higher brain function as the perception of pain until the 26th to 34th week of development (because you enjoy citations so much, shall link you to the medical practitioner board of Victoria http://www.dhs.vic.gov.au/ahs/archive/report/report3.htm) The point to this lengthy rebuttal is this; All current law in Canada is based in part on the original book of law, namely the bible. Just as science is able to prove that certain laws considered ethical at the time the bible was written to be unethical(slavery), science is able to prove ethical what was once considered to be unethical(abortion). You may believe what ever you see fit to believe, but to force your beliefs on others and attempt to overwrite science with dated morals and ethics makes you no better then those that take the freedom of others.
