She told me if her parents found out she was pregnant she would be disowned and kicked out of the family home. She also told me that her brothers would murder her boyfriend, and I believed her. About an hour after her operation I and my nurse saw her and her boyfriend walking out of the clinic hand in hand, and I said to my nurse, "Look at that. We saved two lives today."

You are totally pulling your statistics out of your butt, but okay, change it to gall bladder surgery. The range of conditions it treats are painful and inconvenient, but rarely lethal. Same for abortion.

No one goes in saying "YES! I GET TO HAVE GALL BLADDER SURGERY!" (okay, maybe a few weirdos) but the existence of the procedure for when it is needed is an unmitigated good.
