Unsafe Legal Abortions Put Women at risk this story tell of thousands of unsafe abortions in L A was published in the LA Times. http://www.roevwade.org/rvw6.html


I wish these deaths were untrue but they are. If Abortion is to remain legal it should be safe. I am Pro Life I hope to end the Genocide being committed on Millions of Babies as well as the women dying from abortion.
 
In other news, medical malpractice and accidents happen. Luckily, the women are warned of the risks before any medical procedure has happened.

Surgical abortion is a very safe procedure. Surgical procedures in the first trimester are safer than having a tonsillectomy. Less than 1 woman in 100 will have any type of complication, and serious complications are rare.
Of course, there's also this fact:
According to the Alan Guttmacher Institute, abortion is approximately 11 times safer than carrying the pregnancy to childbirth.
So, it would seem that if safety were really an issue and not a strawman, we should be handing out the abortions left and right since it's safer for the woman.

Is a 15 yr old who has not told her parents that she plans to have an abortion and is looking for a deal able to understand the risk? Will she chose the facility wisely or will she end up in the facilty in Atlanta that was shut down because of filth.


Of course, there's also this fact:

Today we have AIDS we can not abort AIDS and people have taken more precautions. If we could not abort a baby I believe people would take more precautions, fewer lives would be ruined.

(I couldn't get any of the lonks to work, all 404, might just be me).

As soon as you become pregnant there are risks. There are still women who die during child birth or through complications of child birth.

I don't wish a 17 year old girl a death or injury throiugh either child birth or abortion, but are we to judge abortion on which risk is greater?

The point I was trying to make is abortion is a serious procedure and should not be taken lightly. Routinely children decide were they will go to have this procedure without any parental input, that is wrong. As far as your question which risk is greater it has to be decided by a Doctor because everyone is different.
 
Proudly Pro Life JP Freem said:

And yet is the safest surgical procedure we have and is much safer than giving birth. If you are now pushing the safety issue for women (why the suddeen concern for those you couldn't care if were maimed earlier?) than you should insist on them having abortions instead of giving birth. But you are not, again revealing you to be a lying hypocrite.
As far as your question which risk is greater it has to be decided by a Doctor because everyone is different.
So you admit that your push for political input is wrong, yet you do it? That sounds almost schizophrenic of you.

The point is, you can take anything from the medical field and look for deaths.
You can take anything from the medical field and find incompetence.
Whatever point you are trying to make is wasted-unless of course you want to totally eradicate the medical profession, in which case you're fighting an even more losing battle.
 
How about some links showing the sad lives of unwanted children ?
Abused children? Crack babies? Fetal Alcohol Syndrome babies?

I managed to escape actually sitting on the jury for a case where the mom gave birth to a severely physically and mentally handicapped child and then abandoned it. She was into drugs, alcohol, and just short of living on the streets. The institution that was caring for the child was suing the doctors and hospital for compensation on behalf of the child. The state was paying for the child's care, at taxpayer expense, but they wanted several millions of dollars more, "on behalf of the child". There was a time right after birth that the child was dying, but they saved it. I said that they should have let it go back to God, and that is why I was not chosen to sit on that jury. It was obvious to the defendant's lawyers that I think doctors too often play God.

Abortion is repulsive, yes, but the law says that it is legal.
Therefore, it is not an issue to the rest of us. If it is a moral issue, it is between the woman and God. Judgment is not ours, nor should we prevent others from exercising their free will.

It can be a moral issue within your church membership, and the only thing your church can do is kick the unfortunate woman out. Not exactly a Christian thing to do, but there it is.

In 2000, as in previous years, deaths related to legal induced abortions occurred rarely (less than one death per 100,000 abortions).

In LA thousands of Legal abortions are being perfomed in filthy clinics. In Georgia the same situation exist. Fact many women wo have receive an abortion later have problems having children due to damage to cervix which occured during the abortion procedure. Many women suffer after having an abortion with feelings of guilt. For these women I suggest reading "I'll Hold you in Heaven" by Jack Hayford. In each of these cases 2 people died during the procedure. so I guess that double the statistic you mentioned. According to the New England Jounal of Medicine having an abortion is 4 times more dangerous than child birth. http://www.abortiontv.com/Glitch/AbortionMoreDangerous.htm

You kill more "life" everytime you masturbate than when you "abort" people, and from the looks of things on this board, we arent aborting people nearly as fast as we ought to.

A lie. Yearly about 350-500 women die from 4.5 mill childbirths, while about 3-11 women die from 1.1-1.3 mill abortions. Child birth is about 15 times as dangerous as having an abortion. WHY are you lying?
Ah, THAT explains it. ABTV has been proven and documented to lie (Busta, help me out here). If I was you, I would get my info from something else than a prol-life pro-lie site.

Of all the women I know who have had abortions, and two I know had more than one, everyone one of them went on to have more than one healthy child. I'd like to see the stats on this, since just those in my circle of friends and family were 100% fine in future conceptions.
And still, NOTHING viable to debate why women's reproductive rights in this country should be denied.....

No, the scientific/medical peer-review of which I am a mmember are the ones who get to decide this.
What is your background and are you qualified to decide this? Hmmm
I have the scientific, statistical and medical background qualifying me to determine that reardon's claims are not supported by the data. And I have the same qualification is noting that the referenced journal articles do not support the conclusion that prolifers are making about them.

In this, prolifers lie almost as much as the creationists. It must be a fundie thing, this idea that it is OK to bear false witness as long as it is for some quasi-religious political cause.

if you want to, we can look at the journal articles in detail and note the data, claims and whether they are justified. Are you game? Do you have enough background and knowledge in this to actually do so, or are you all about moral fervor with no factual background?

I personally vouch for the information in the references that I provided and have reviewed them. I KNOW what is in there and know the validity of the claims. Obviously you did NOT do that.

OK Here are some more sources

"the occurrance of either induced or spontaneous abortions independently and significantly increased the risk of subsequent development of secondary infertility." - Study of 252 women at Harvard from the Journal of Epidemiology and Community Health. Feb 1993 issue.

· "Uterine bleeding occurred on the second or third day after RU486 intake in 1256 women (88.8 percent), and lasted 11.7 +/- 6.4 (SD) days, range 2-55 days. One subject had blood transfusions due to excessive bleeding." -Shangchun, W., et al., Contraception

"Prolonged bleeding/spotting lasting more than two weeks had been found in more than 20 percent of women who had complete abortion in this study [of RU486]." --Shangchun, W., et al., Contraception

African American women who have had abortions are 4.7 times more likely to get breast cancer. -- Laing AE, et al.Breast Cancer Risk Factors in African American Women: The Howard University Tumor Registry Experience. Similar studies have supported this among women of other races, such as "Risk of Breast Cancer Among Young Women: Relationship to Induced Abortion" by Janet Darling, et al. in the Journal of the National Cancer Institute

Psychological Side Effects
· A survey was conducted of 1900 women who had had abortions. The survey asked "Were there any negative psychological effects... [caused] by your abortion?" 94% answered "Yes." 2% answered "No."
· Another study was conducted by Dr. Anne Speckhard at the University of Minnesota. She concluded, "After 5-10 years 54% of mothers choosing abortion had nightmares, 81% had preoccupation with their aborted child, 35% had perceived visitations with their child, and 96% felt they had taken a human life."
· 39000 women who have had an abortion are members of NARAL. 245000 women who have had abortions are members of National Right to Life.

She was into drugs, alcohol, and just short of living on the streets. The institution that was caring for the child was suing the doctors and hospital for compensation on behalf of the child. The state was paying for the child's care, at taxpayer expense, but they wanted several millions of dollars more, "on behalf of the child". There was a time right after birth that the child was dying, but they saved it. I said that they should have let it go back to God, and that is why I was not chosen to sit on that jury. It was obvious to the defendant's lawyers that I think doctors too often play God.

Abortion is repulsive, yes, but the law says that it is legal.
Therefore, it is not an issue to the rest of us. If it is a moral issue, it is between the woman and God. Judgment is not ours, nor should we prevent others from exercising their free will.

It can be a moral issue within your church membership, and the only thing your church can do is kick the unfortunate woman out. Not exactly a Christian thing to do, but there it is.

This is still Country where we the People decide. The majority of Americans oppose abortion except in cases of rape, incest,or health of the mother. These make up less than1% of all abortions performed. We have the right to try to change the laws that we the people do not like. Examples of this occur throughout our history a recent one is the Civil Rights movment and they should be proud of their accomplisments.

"We the people" have decided, via SCOTUS. If a national referendum stated that we should ban abortion, it would still have to face SCOTUS again.
And even if we did ban it here in the USA, there are many nearby countries surrounding us, north, south, and even east, where the procedure would remain legal.
Abortion was practiced long ago, even during the time that Christ was on his mission. Yet, he said nothing about it. He said nothing about a lot of things.
What he DID say something about is, unfortunately, ignored by most of us.
He did say, don't judge, judgment is mine, love one another, feed my lambs, etc.
Throwing rocks at "sinners" is not an answer to the problem.

BTW, the civil rights movement was accomplished mostly by the minorities demanding their rights, and the courts supporting them, not the general (white) public.
