http://www.abortionno.org/Resources/fastfacts.html Interesting facts. It seems that most women who commit abortions are not at or below poverty level. Also many claim to have religious affiliations. There goes two of the pro abortion myths busted right there! interesting fact: "47% of all abortions are performed on women who have had at least one previous abortion." Repeat offenders abound! Another: "1% of all abortions occur because of rape or incest" Wow 1%, hardly a compelling reason to allow fetal homicide through abortion.
Slavery was once legal too! In fact, the recent posts by some pro abortionists here claiming that a child in utero is the mother's "personal property" is getting very close to mirroring slavery!
18.4% of abortions are performed on married women. So woman DO have abortions when their husband doesn't know about it - you think all those women had the abortion with the support of their partner? 31% of all abortions are performed on Catholic women. So much for the lifer theory that a religious woman wouldn't have an abortion - Catholics have more abortions than Atheists! What does that tell you? Oh, and you'll also see that the majority of abortions occur before the 9th week, and less than 1% after week 20. So why the lifers continue to prattle on about late term abortions is beyond me.
It tells me that the old pro-abortion argument that all opposition to abortion is religious doesn't really work. Just like Whaler pointed out.
Those having abortions tend to be women. In America, 99% of those happen before the end of the second trimester, and all of them are performed perfectly lawfully. The reason they do this is often a failure of contraception.
"There are lies, (*)(*)(*)(*)ed lies and Statistics" The very fact that you are quoting a rabidly anti-abortion site tends to put the figures into dispute Hmmmm - and the way they quote those statics makes it even more suspect but the actual joke of it all - they have referenced to the Guttmacher institute!! Without looking too deep (I did night duty last night) I would bet those figures are cherry picked But tell me Whaler - and just taking the stats at face value here - why is living below the poverty line NOT a reason for abortion? Surely the inability to feed the family is a consideration?
If you get to dismiss the 1% of rape cases due to abortion can we dismiss all the stupid moaning and groaning about late term abortions since those only make up like 1.5% of all abortions? And every time a lifer says, "SO IT'S OK TO KILL IT JUST BEFORE IT'S BORN" can we just sock them in the face for being so idiotic?
It's very close, no, it actually IS slavery to force a woman to serve something at the expense of her own well-being.
It seems that you are finally becoming enlightened to the fact that abortion views are generally NOT religion based. This is progress. I don't see "lifers" dwelling on later term abortions. I see "deathers" wanting that to be true, but it just isn't! I see "deathers" routinely bringing up rape and incest, which make up 1% of abortions though.
Only if you (*)(*)(*)(*)(*) slap yourself repeatedly for a month first for thinking the developmental stage matters at all!
If developmental stage truly didn't matter then lifers wouldn't constantly pull the ol', "SO YOU THINK IT'S OK TO ABORT IT JUST BEFORE IT'S BORN!?!?!?" bullcrap. The fact of the matter is though is that it DOES matter. It matters to lifers that the fetus looks as much like a born baby as possible. Which is also why they often refer to the fetus as a 'baby'. So they can paint this picture in people's minds and tug at their heart strings. i.e. "Any woman who would abort THIS is a horrible, evil woman!!!" Baaawww!
Right. The reasonable choice is abortion. If it involves my uterus, I'm the one who gets to make the choice.
Yeah, anti-choice retards have to lie because their stance is so ridiculous. If they had any good arguments, they would have no need to lie. But they don't have good arguments. So they need to lie. Won't someone think of the poor anti choicers? Thinking is really hard for them but they have to try and think up new lies all the time! Cry cry cry!
One cannot opt into slavery. That's called indentured servitude. Which is the only argument you even have here if the sex was consentual. It woudn't tug on your heart strings at all if you truly believed it was just a clump of cells. The fact that you are emotionally affected shows that there still is a part of you somewhere that cannot ignore the idea of it being a child.
It doesnt matter who is killing babies. I dont care if you are a christian,jew,hindu,muslim,catholic or rastafarian. ITS MURDER not matter who does it. Murder is wrong no matter who does it. 53 million and counting. This nation will reap a huge harvest of blood for that. This nation murdered millions of slaves and it reaped a huge war for it. Millions died. Millions more will die in the near future because of this murdering.
Abortion isn't murder and it doesn't kill babies. Can you come up with a factual reason to oppose abortion? I didn't think so...
Hasn't anyone told you yet? Consent to sex is NOT consent to pregnancy. All it is is consent to have sex. It is not consent to carry any pregnancy intended or unintended to full term unless explicitly spoken. And even then that consent can be withdrawn at any time up to 24 weeks in the United States should a pregnancy occur due to the consensual sex. I have never once referred to the fetus as "just a clump of cells". So sorry, that's not going to work on me. And where does it show that I am personally emotionally affected by people calling it a baby? I was merely pointing out the fact that lifers wish to make women feel like crap for having abortions by painting the fetus as something is most certainly not.
Lifers like to ask if its okay to kill a baby right before its born. They also like to mention 'stabbing it in the head', which is a reference to late term abortion, which accounts for less than 1% of abortions.
Nope, don't see that here except maybe once a year, the deathers bringing up rape is nearly a daily thing.
It is generally brought up to see just how consistent the lifer's views are and see the underlying reasons they want women to be forced to carry unwanted pregnancy to term. The fetus, whether it was conceived of rape or consensual sex is still just a fetus. However many lifers make exceptions for women who were raped simply because of HOW the fetus was conceived. If it was just about saving the life of fetus though how it was conceived should be irrelevant. A life is a life after all, right? Often times the lifers who call for exceptions because of rape want to see women punished for CHOOSING to have sex and a woman who was raped didn't choose to have sex. See, it's all about how it was made and not about the fact that it's just a life they want to save. You too were once ok with abortions due to rape, so we all know why you really oppose abortion despite your many cries of it being a homicide.
