One of the sickest things I've ever heard of. "Kill your baby, get an Ipod."

Abortion is not about saving women’s lives!

Studies Find Abortions Have Long-Term Adverse Effects

Total Abortions since 1973

45,951,133

------------------------------------------------------------

Why the drop after 1960? (in deaths of women from illegal abortions)

The reasons were new and better antibiotics, better surgery and the establishment of intensive care units in hospitals. This was in the face of a rising population. Between 1967 and 1970 sixteen states legalized abortion. In most it was limited, only for rape, incest and severe fetal handicap (life of mother was legal in all states). There were two big exceptions — California in 1967, and New York in 1970 allowed abortion on demand. Now look at the chart carefully.

Abortion Statistics - Decision to Have an Abortion (U.S.)

· 25.5% of women deciding to have an abortion want to postpone childbearing

· 21.3% of women cannot afford a baby

· 14.1% of women have a relationship issue or their partner does not want a child

· 12.2% of women are too young (their parents or others object to the pregnancy)

· 10.8% of women feel a child will disrupt their education or career

· 7.9% of women want no (more) children

· 3.3% of women have an abortion due to a risk to fetal health

2.8% of women have an abortion due to a risk to maternal health

----------------------------------------------------------------------

So how many women’s lives have been saved by abortion?

Only about 3% of abortions since 1972 were reported to be “due to a risk to maternal health.” A reasonable person would recognize that not all of those cases represent a lethal risk. But let’s say they did. That means that nearly 45 million fetuses were butchered to save the lives of about 1.3 million women. Or put another way; 35 babies are killed to save each woman.

Abortion was legal in all 50 states prior to Roe v. Wade in cases of danger to the life of the woman.

Thanks for posting that info.

Do you have (easy) access to info on what percent of PP's business is from performing abortions? I'm noting from some link the apparent drop in demand for other PP services.

Or is it that they just aren't doing iPod promotions for midlife counseling? ... Or whatever the promo would be for that demographic (now that would be a rip-roaring discussion, wouldn't it?!).

As I recall (but am frankly too tired to look up now), it is also interesting to note incidence of child abuse cases since abortion was legalized, that abortion does not necessarily ensure that every child is a "planned and wanted child".

Crisis pregnancy centers need to be mentioned here as source of info for post-abortion counseling. They do tremendous work for the communities, and are worth our support for the POSITIVES they bring to this sad situation. I am so sorry to read of your ex's experience and the long term life-changing damage done.
