This question applies to all politicians whether they be for or against abortion.

so rosie you will trust a doctor inexplicably but not a duely elected representive,even though you again answered a question with a question.
By the way theres a big difference between heart surgery and abortion,due to the fact that heart surgery is always performed to prolong the life and health of the patient,can the same be said for abortion.Are you going to try and say that every abortion performed is to save the womans life.We do not trust politicians because they might have hidden agendas,fair enough politicians do lie, badly most of the time.But the same can be said for doctors a politician lies to get votes a doctor lies to get money and prestige in there chosen field{ie p.B.A. Is a doctor going to admit to performing what is basically an illegal operation or will he lie to save himself} if you think back think about all the doctors done for abusing their position or even dr harold shipman englands most infamous serial killer.So tell me should we just trust a doctor?

to be honest bd I have no opinion on your health ,then again I may have taken your answer wrong, if I have I apologise.Politicians lie we all know that but so do doctors weve all heard the storys of people misdiagnosed or blatantly lied to by the medical profession.So I am quite surprised that some one as informed as you usually are bd would just trust totally a doctor.

This is not about whether or not whether doctors do lie.. It's about politicians vs doctors.. And I would believe a doctor over a politician anyday even if that doctor has a bad rep..

Comparitively that is.

it can be said that abortion is performed to improve the quality of life for the woman. And it could very well save her life, since pregnancy is riskier for her.

i am sorry but I do not believe that statement,if that was the case, would not doctors be advising every woman who got pregnant to abort because it is less risky.
Have you got any reliable proof to base that statement on.

cdc and hhs both have the statistics. In the us, 300-500 women die from pregnacy every year, while 3-8 die from abortions every year. Abortions are *much* safer than giving birth. Do you need the references to the data as well?

steen I see that your criteria changes in relation to death through childbirth than to death due to abortion.Your figures for death from childbirth is from conception to a year after giving birth.Whereas your figures for death due to abortion does not.Why have you not included the suicides for the year after,i wonder if it might be because they dont make your argument stronger but make it weaker.
8 year suicide rate per 100,000
delivered a child 19.1%
had an abortion 63%.
This proves that you have lied in your posts about the mental effects on the patient.
Your figures also include women who recieved no pre natal care,a fact which makes them 3-4 times more likley to die.
You also forgot to mention the fact that, suckers by surgeon general koops letter to ronald reagan,in response to a presidential directive to study the effects on women who have had abortions,that half the abortions done in america are done in free standing clinics which do not keep complete records.Also the fact that 50% of women who have had an abortion denied it when asked officially.
I can see from other posts you have made a distinct lack of truth when you talk about the after effects {physical and mental} such has infertility,damaged cervix and a tendancy to miscarry or deliver premature.I notice you also fail to state that it is well documented that when a woman carrys and delivers,whether it be wanted or unwanted,there is a low incidence of mental health problems.
Finally in relation to the amount of pregnancys in america to the amount of abortions and deaths therefore associated with,the percentages make the figures nominal at least.

please do not make misrepresentations of my viewws and I won't call you a liar. How is that? So retract that crap.
Quote:

as I said, a lie.
Quote:

bwahahahahaha. Yup, reardon's claptrap finland study. Funny how, if there was such a surge of suicides, mental health professionals would have to be on alert all the time. Guess what, there isn't. I have no intention of going into the 5000-word evaluation of the many ways reardon presented his lies and misrepresentations, but here is a trick for you if you want to learn statistics. "correlation is not causation."
Quote:

8 year suicide rate per 100,000
delivered a child 19.1%
had an abortion 63%.

This proves that you have lied in your posts about the mental effects on the patient.
I lied, did i? Here is the challenge to you. Please claim that reardon's numbers prove that abortions *cause* women to commit suicide 4-3 times as often as women in general.
The I will be most pleased to expose you as an outright liar. You really need to evaluate studies for bias and ommission before using them to accuse others. Particularly when the authors have a deliberately political agenda. You obviously have no clue what peer-review means in science <snort>

please provide the scientific reference source of your numbers and we can pick your lies apart.

But then, the style of your posts have been typocal anti-choice deceptions and misrepresentations so far, so there is no reason to expect that you changed.
Quote:
your figures also include women who recieved no pre natal care,a fact which makes them 3-4 times more likley to die.
and if you start providing prenatal care to all these women, some of the mortality will drop off yes. When the reality of prenatal care reaches these women, the mortality will drop somewhat, but until then, those numbers are the actual reality we live under, that giving birth is *much* more lethal than having an abortion, anti-choice lies none withstanding.
Quote:
you also forgot to mention the fact that, suckers by surgeon general koops letter to ronald reagan,in response to a presidential directive to study the effects on women who have had abortions,that half the abortions done in america are done in free standing clinics which do not keep complete records.
a false claim. Any clinic has to keep records by federal law.
Quote:
also the fact that 50% of women who have had an abortion denied it when asked officially.
and you obviously never actually looked at the numbers from these agencies and from the mmrw as they are not based on whether women said they had abortions or not, but rather on clinic data, death certificates and similar. So your "fact" is irrelevant.
Quote:
i can see from other posts you have made a distinct lack of truth when you talk about the after effects {physical and mental} such has infertility,
minimal with abortion, significant enough to be a major focus of prenatal care prevention when giving birth. Once again, anti-choicers seek to misrepresent their desire to see women suffer more by going through childbirth than by having an abortion (see, I can do that hyperbole stuff just as well as you can, liar).
Quote:
damaged cervix
quite the rsik in childbirth, much more than from an abortion. And interestingly enough, if you had any concern for the woman's cervix, then you would embrace the *intact dilation and extraction* method of abortion as it is minimizing the potential amage to the cervix. Yet you don't, showing what a hypocrite you are.
Quote:
and a tendancy to miscarry or deliver premature.
there is no such tendency. You are lying.
Quote:
i notice you also fail to state that it is well documented that when a woman carrys and delivers,whether it be wanted or unwanted,there is a low incidence of mental health problems.
the incidence of post-partum depression is 12-15% the incidence of post-partum psychosis is 0.5% that's a pretty high number, your lies aside.
Quote:
finally in relation to the amount of pregnancys in america to the amount of abortions and deaths therefore associated with,the percentages make the figures nominal at least.
so you are either so dumb or so dishonest that I have to specify the details for you? Very well:

300-500 deaths from 4.5 mill births: 66-111 deaths/million births
3-8 deaths from 1.1 mill abortions: 2-7 deaths/million abortions

any other lies you want to spew?


I have no problem debating abortion. But the incessant anti-choce lies arwe disgusting. You guys are disgusting rotten crooks and should be ashamed of the massive amount of "false witness" you spew, spitting god in the eye every time.

Steen first of all if you are a doctor you need to be struck off,do you really believe that your attack on me makes your post anymore credible.How surprising that another study is called lies by dr steen.
You call me a liar without any proof presented what so ever,very professional of you that,but with your tendency to ignore or attack other posters facts I am not surprised.You are the great conspiricy theorist,everything done that doesnt match your idea is lies mistruth.So troll next time you wish to attack me proof is required I have proved you lied with facts whether you believe them or not,they are still facts.As to where my facts come from most from the site you sent me to,some from the letter itself and the rest from pregnancy in america.
Steen a basic grasp of literacy would also help your posts try merriams or webbsters.Now will you prove that you are not a troll or will you once again prove your hypocrisy.
Where have I said I am pro anything steen show me and stop trying to lie and inflame an allready emotionally charged subject.
Now go away and think about your lies and decietfull ways, and come back when you are capable of adult rational debate and not stoop to your childish ways because you feel inadequate.
Once again I reiterate please leave the insults at the door

steen you are the most annoying little man I have ever had the misfortune to come across.Are you really so stupid how was my first post about whether we trust a politician or a doctor an outright attack on you,you really do have an ego problem.I think the word you were looking for steen is person, has in my last post, I thought you would understand,but maybe the words were to hard for you.I will break it down for you <you need to learn how to spell.Are you that arrogant you cannot see your own mistakes.
You accused me of being anti choice where did I say that, answer the question.As for the site it was the one you posted cdc I think it was.
So troll are you going to continue in your ignorant way or change but then again I think not,you are far to arrogant to admit you are ever wrong.
Your insults are repetitive and down right crass.
As for hypocrisy I am surprised you can even spell the word let alone know what it means.You are the biggest hypocrite on this forum or any other for that matter.
Pregnancy in america is a web site and just the facts was were the letter from koops to reagen,oh but I forget you do not believe what he wrote anyway.I also told you where I got the facts are you completely illlterate or just totally stupid.
As for me being undereducated I dont think so,how arrogant again of you to presume to know my education qualifications,you would be surprised at what I attained during my education.
So next time think twice before insulting me troll and grow up.

really? Just because I challenge anti-choice lies? Well, I guess from your point of view that could be annoying yes. But there is a simple fix. If pro-life stops their incessant lies, then I won't have any lies to challenge. How is that for a solution?
Quote:
are you really so stupid how was my first post about whether we trust a politician or a doctor an outright attack on you,you really do have an ego problem.
let me refresh your memory, stinking liar. Remember this post, your very first one in this forum:
http:// ehealthforum.Com/health/viewtopic.Php?T=27 232&postdays=0&postorder=asc&s tart=58

"..I have read posts from a *doctor* who is happy to accuse people .."
and so on, for 24 lines.

There is your first post, a direct attack against me. So what was it you were saying cowardly and hypocritical liar? Or did you want to apologize for your starting the attacks? What was that? I can't quite hear you.
Quote:
you accused me of being anti choice where did I say that, answer the question.
and as I pointed out, just because you cowardly try to hide your true conviction, doesn't mean that it doesn't clearly come through in your posts. But here is your chance to prove me wrong.

Tell us that you are not pro-life.

No? You can not deny that? Well, golly-gee what a surprise. If you don't want to be known as pro-life, don’t post as pro-life.
Quote:
as for the site it was the one you posted cdc I think it was.
and what, specifically, came from that site? You mentioned several sources. Care to clarify what came from where, and based on what text? Or are you hoping that as long as you are vague enough, you won't have to be responsible for what you post? You are not a coward, are you?
Quote:
your insults are repetitive and down right crass.
incessant pro-life lies, deceptions and misleading falsehoods are downright insulting and crass. Care to tell us why you support them and defend them?
Quote:

ah yes. Merely because you say so, right? Your accusations are remarkable spare on specifics. Vague allegations and deceptions, of course, are some of the things that pro-life liars do best. Care to show me how you differ from them?
Quote:
pregnancy in america is a web site
so you say. It is customary to link to the sites as reference (least you want to be known as a plagiarist as well). I tried http://www.Pregnancyinamerica .Com/ and interestingly enough, it didn't load. So you will have to do a lot better than that. Please link to the site so we personally can assure our self that it is a factually correct and accurate site and not just another pro-life pro-lie site. Why so hesitant to provide the data?
Quote:
and just the facts was were the letter from koops to reagen,oh but I forget you do not believe what he wrote anyway.
well, I will first want to see that letter (again something you forgot to link to. Seemingly, you want us to believe you on your word? Sorry, but pro-life has long ago lost such a privilege through their incessant and constant lies.)
Quote:
i also told you where I got the facts
well, you alleged this. Show us.
Quote:
as for me being undereducated I dont think so,how arrogant again of you to presume to know my education qualifications,you would be surprised at what I attained during my education.
well, obviously what you attained was not knowledge in these areas.
Quote:

hey, when you insult me (see above link) you should expect the same back, cowardly hypocrite who is to scared to stand by your own words. How lame.
