I am not quite sure what claim it is you guys are "disproving here. Certainly some women die from abortions, but so few that it still is the safest surgical proceudre in the us.

You guys are acting as if pc had claimed that nobody ever had died from an abortion? But surely not, as that would be a lie. Pl wouldn't be so deceptive and dishonest, would they?

again, per these being prolife sites, I tend to take the hyperbole and "fact" reporting with a grain of salt. We have plenty of times seen pl sites outright lie.

well to listen to some pro choicers not all then termination is just a walk in the park with no risk involved.
Some say that childbirth is more dangerouse but to be honest I cant see any difference in the danger ratio.

dishonest and deceptive? Isn't that the pot calling the kettle black? Pro-aborts talk about choice as if it is all inclusive. In reality though....Pro-choice is only for a select few. The father has no choice...Although he helped create the child, siblings and other relatives have no choice...Even though that child will forever be a part of their hearts, and certainly...The baby has no choice.
And what about this safe surgical procedure....Who is it safe for? Certainly not the unborn child. And what about the women who turn up sterile, with infection or just plain dead? Just how safe is that? Maybe that is considered acceptable loss though?! And do pro-aborts talk about the emotional turmoil many women have the rest of their lives after having an abortion?
I would say honesty is not a strong suit of pro-aborts...But then again...Why confuse you with the facts?

just like no women die from pregnancy or child birth. Or that every aborted fetus would have been carried to term with no problem. @@


pregnancy is a natural progression of life...As is child birth. Abortion is not. I had a child not carried to term...In fact he was born at 27 weeks...He is alive and fine. I know of many more born as young as 21 weeks...They too are alive and well. So what if they had not been carried to term....Why do you think that is a justifcation for abortion? Didn't they deserve a chance at life?

hmm, I will look for such posts. I have yet to see one.

i have specifically provided the numbers proving that wrong. The risk of dying after giving birth is about 15-20 times as high as from dying after an abortion.

Again, if you don't remember, the labor mortality is about 350-500 women per year of 4.5 mill deliveries. The abortion mortality is about 5-12 per year of about 1 mill abortions (monthly vital statistics report, dhhs-phs no. 95-1120, vol 44, pp. 1-85, 1995)

[sorry, that is the newest statistical source containing both numbers. The annual "cdc "abortion survey" showed 11 deaths in 2001 from abortions. Maternal mortality has not changed in any significant way the last 15-20 years.]

you do the math

hmmm...Maybe the best solution to the problem would be for women to take control of their reproductive systems before conception. Perhaps maybe the time to be truly pro-choice is when it is only your body you are dealing with. Then pregnancy and abortion statistics would be a moot point.

well, I was questioning whether this was the case. You have not dissuaded me yet.
i don't usually run into any of them. The last one I know of is peter singer.

pro-aborts...
Quote:

it is about a woman having the right to control her own bodily resources. But then you already knew that, so you are now being deceptive. How pathetic.
Quote:
in reality though....Pro-choice is only for a select few.
like... Yeah, like the pregnant woman. Yes, how horrible that women actually get to have the same self-determination over their bodily resources as does everybody else. Hard to relegate them to the back of the bus, to second-class citizenship if they have that right. I under stand your distress at this obstruction to the pl agenda.
Quote:
the father has no choice...
ah, yes. To bad that he doesn't get to rule over her body even against her will. He would make such a good slaver, and we won't let him. How mean of us, isn’t it? Poor pl, can't even let the man enslave her. What *are* you going to do about your fascist "kinder, kirche, kuche" agenda if you can't even push that?
Quote:
and what about this safe surgical procedure....Who is it safe for?
the patient.
Quote:
certainly not the unborn child.
"unborn child"? Sounds like an oxymoron. Like "pre-dead corpse” or kind of like "honest pl."
Quote:
and what about the women who turn up sterile, with infection or just plain dead? Just how safe is that? Maybe that is considered acceptable loss though?!
it happens to very few. And yes, the women find it an acceptable risk, or they wouldn't undergo the procedure. All medical procedures have risks, but the abortion just happens to be the safest surgical procedure a woman (or any person) can have.

If you are complaining that the safety is not enough, then we will have to shut down all surgeries, because all the other ones are "even more dangerous."
Quote:
and do pro-aborts
who are these people you talk about. As I said, I only know of one. Who are the others? Because you are, of course, not lying and misrepresenting pro-choice as pro-abortion, are you? Nah, because that would be a dishonest misrepresentation; it would be evidence of pl lies and dishonesty, and you just earlier seemed to assure me that pl are not like that.
So you couldn't possibly be that dishonest and hypocritical. So there must be some other people out there pushing abortion above everything, rather than just pushing leaving the decision to the woman. I am sure you will enlighten me as to who they are.
Quote:
talk about the emotional turmoil many women have the rest of their lives after having an abortion?
some do, of course, as is the case with everything. But the research of course shows that abortions themselves don't suddenly create depression in women, so I am not sure what you are trying to say here.
Quote:

well, you haven't really given any yet, so I am not sure what you are alluding to. Dishonesty among the pro-aborts? Are you saying that peter singer is dishonest? I must admit that I don’t know enough about him to know much about that. I have no more patience regarding anti-choicers like him than I have with prolife anti-choicers.

pregnancy is a natural progression of life...
so is illness and whatnot. Oh, but wait a moment. We have all this unnatural interference called "medical care." guess you object to that as well?
Quote:

see, that is where your claims become iffy. "many"? Given that the very youngest survival was a large 19,6/7 neonate, and given that viability (where survival is 50%) is at 24 weeks, where the experienced lack of serious mental and physical problems is only found in 10% of the survivors, your claim on the surface seems like a boldfaced lie. I hope I am wrong.
Quote:

huh? All that is irrelevant to the issue for abortion. What matters is that nobody have the right to use a woman's body against her will.

the best solution is for them to take control all the time and for you to yank your nose out of her uterus. You have no business trying to control her personal life any more than you tolerate her interfering with your personal life.

hmm, perhaps you didn't put your glasses on? Look up above, at the end of the 1st paragraph.

But just in case you still don't see it, let me repost it right here for you (well, I will just copy it out of the text where it was all along as a standard scientific reference, but this way it might be more clear to you):
