you do the math

Plagarism steen,where is your link or did you do the research yourself.
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):

Steen you are always saying pl lies when one person posts something therfore lumping all of pro life in one
rather, if that pl lied, it would be evidence of a pl lie. Nowhere did I say that this one lie evidences that everything pl post always is a lie. So I am not sure what your gripe is?

why are you lying? Of course you can verify it. Get the reference the old-fashioned way. Call your library and get the report. I am sure that if you discovered that I was wrong, you would gladly post that here to 'expose" me.


Sheesh, the ignorance. You guys act as if something is only evidence if it is posted on a website. Government information often is found in government archives. Didn't you know that? How old are you?

So first you try to "trap" me in "plagiarism" and when it is shown you that I wasn't doing such a thing, your lack of integrity made it impossible for you to acknowledge your mistake, instead making dishonest claims instead. How pathetic and lame.

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?


do you have proof that states that it is the safest surgical procedure. Up here dental work is called minor surgery and i'm sure less people die from root canals then abortions. Not sure cause i'm trying to find proof, but that's why iwasasking if you had a lonk that would tell me safest to non-safest surgeries!

well, that's what we were taught on surgery rotation.

There are references to back it up:
http://www.Ncbi.Nlm .Nih.Gov/entrez/query.Fcgi?Cmd=retrieve&am p;db=pubmed&dopt=abstract&list_uid s=10944363&query_hl=3

am j obstet gynecol. 2000 aug;183(2 suppl):s1-2.
Medical abortion: public health and private lives.
Grimes da.
Department of obstetrics and gynecology, university of north carolina school of medicine, chapel hill, nc.

Pip: induced abortion is a common event in the lives of women and their families. Statistics show that in the us nearly half of all women personally benefit from abortion; hence abortion is important from both a medical and a social standpoint. During the 1900s, anti-abortion laws were promulgated, subsequently resulting in the rise of maternal mortality due to complications from unsafe abortions. In the mid-1960s, state laws began to change to allow women access to safe abortions provided by licensed physicians. Since then, deaths from illegal abortions have decreased substantially. It is noted that legal abortion is one of the safest operations in contemporary medical practice, and its safety has improved through the years. Surgical skills have been enhanced and the technologies of suction curettage abortion and dilatation and evacuation introduced. In addition, abortion techniques using prostaglandin, mifepristone, methotrexate, and misoprostol have advanced.

this one is a bit older:
http://www.Ncbi.Nlm .Nih.Gov/entrez/query.Fcgi?Cmd=retrieve&am p;db=pubmed&dopt=abstract&list_uid s=12263451&query_hl=6

fam plann inf serv. 1981 apr;1(6):21-8.
Complications of induced abortion.
Hepburn s.

Pip: grimes and cates published an extensive review of the complications of induced abortion in 1979, and most of the information presented is extracted from their review. Numerous large studies have documented that abortion is a safe surgical procedure. Abortion morbidity is primarily affected by 2 factors: gestation age and abortion technique. Additional influencing factors are type of anesthesia used, concurrent sterilization, and pre-existing complications. The findings of the center for disease control (cdc) study -- total and major complications per 100 women, by gestation, procedure, sterilization, and anesthesia, for total patients and for patients with followup in the united states, 1971-1975 -- are presented in a 2nd table. Complications may be divided into immediate (developing within 3 hours of the procedure), delayed (developing from 3 hours to 28 days after the abortion), and late (occurring 28 days or more after the abortion). The immediate complication of uterine hemorrhage is difficult to evaluate because of inconsistent definitions and problems in estimating volumes of blood loss. Blood transfusion rates were reported as 0.06% for suction evacuation at 12 weeks, 0.19% for dilatation and evacutataion (d&e) at 13-20 weeks, and 1.53% for instilation of saline or prostaglandins at 13-24 weeks. Uterine perforation is a feared but rare complication of abortion procedure. A consistent rate of 0.2/1000 abortions had been reported from numerous institutions in the united states during the 2nd half of the decade. No consistent figures are available on the incidence of cervical injury. This is a potentially dangerous complication that may lead to life threatening hemorrhage or to the formation of fistulae. The risk of anesthesia-related complications from curettage abortion is 0.02/100 abortions with paracervical anesthesia. Retained products of conception remains 1 of the most important causes of abortion morbidity and may result in infection, bleeding, or both. There is a lack of uniform definitions and diagnostic criteria for post-abortal pelvic infection, which makes incidence rates difficult to interpret. Fever is 1 objective measure of the frequency of infectious morbidity, and incidence of fever by method is given.
[****note this part]
the death-to-case rate for abortion is lower than that for any other surgical procedure. The primary factors affecting mortality are period of gestation and type of procedure. Death-to-case rate for legal abortions by type of procedure and weeks' gestation is presented in table form. Suggestions for the prevention of complications are outlined.

Ok it says it's one of the safest. I was just wondering.

I still think getting a root canal is safer. Might be more painfull (i wouldn't know as i've had neither surgery) but.... :d

hmm, the second one says that it *is* the safest. And yes, quite a few people die from root canals. You are to close to the venous system that surrounds the brain, and infections that hit the brain are not uncommon. Another complication is that from the brain, it is a straight shot to the heart, and thus you cen get infections of the heart muscle.

but not necessarily invalid. Rather, that is the common knowledge until other data arrives. It is just more possible thta something has changed since that article. However, I did a thorough search and didn't find anything contradicting it.

I have only glanced over this but I cannot believe what I have briefed, comparing this to a war, you have to be kidding me, how many of you have been in a war? How many of you have assisted with abortions and how many of you have assisted with baby's born that did not make it and mothers to be that did not make it and both mother and fetus not making it, it must obviously be a pl joke site you guys need to get off the computer sometime and get in the real world, like I have been. I have to go to work now but I am going to try and get some time in tomorrow and go over this better tomorrow.
Sincerely,
sandy

We lose them in birth also, we lost 6 last week, and 2 of the mothers and you do not want to know of some of the facts of the beaten and neglected baby's. And I was in soc. Serv. And e.R. I do not care if you believe me or not because I see it w/my own eyes and that is proof enough. You cannot even get all fishes anyway. I totally agree w/msrosie on that one.

Personally, i'd rather die than be a mother right now.. I go on several pregnancy boards and motherhood and pregnancy is no picnic. I'm not giving up my youth.. I refuse to settle for making ends meet the rest of my life and giving up my youth.. I will not waste my life.. I know there is adoption but I will not put my body through pregnancy just to give it up.. So if I ever get pregnant.. I will abort.. Whether it be as simple as walking to a clinic and having it done, or finding my own way.. So I personally don't care how dangerous abortion may or not be.

i won't.. I'm on depo.. I don't see myself getting pregnant anytime soon.. And btw.. Even if I could.. what do you want me to do.. Is there some switch on my uterus that turns fertility off? And before you tell me not to have sex.. If I do taht.. Then i'll have people telling me what an unhealthy relationship me and bf have and that sex is an important part.. So hmm.. Since I can't please everyone at once.. Why not please myself.. No matter what anyone else thinks :roll:
