There is not a medical term known as miscarriage. It is called a spontaneous abortion. If you are going to argue with someone who has been trained in the medical profession at least educate yourself on medical terminology.
Why would I think you do?
Well, I'm with you on the religion part. As for politics, how is civics or even history taught without it?
The reason it's an error to interpret such comments that way is due to the data showing us that 98% of abortion patents had consensual sex.
Provide a citation that only 2% of abortions are by victims of rape or incest. Not some off the wall pro life citation either...provide a study or some statistical proof. Remember, not all rapes are reported...in fact, the majority are not reported at all.
Your study is only on a very small group and it is what over 20 years old? It also is a voluntary response. Again, how do you know it wasn't from rape? The study itself said information is very limited. The last study to it was in 1985. Women aren't going to always tell strangers they were victims of rape.
Rape and incest account for hardly any abortions. So why are they now a focus?
Just 1% of women obtain an abortion because they became pregnant through rape, and less than 0.5% do so because of incest.www.usatoday.com
So, my point stands: there was no reason to assume my statement about responsibility applied to rape victims, there was no reason to continue to assume such after I overtly said that my statements do not, and any future assertion that my statement applies to rape victims will be a lie.
98-99% of elective abortions are from consensual sex and that makes my general statement true. Since you needed me to spoon-feed you basic information on the topic, I suggest you take a breath and do some research before embarrassing yourself further.
The data is from 2004. You're welcome to ask Guttmacher, the leading source of information on all things abortion, to hurry up with their next study.
My arguments are based on the data, so if you want my arguments to change then you're going to have to link to better data yourself, you're going to have to actually put in a little bit of effort instead of being shrill and emotional.
It is 2023, so as I pointed out...the study is 20 years old. My point still stands that 1200 abortion clients and their answers is voluntary and won't reflect whether it was a victim of rape or incest. It also isn't a very good indication of what the overall percentage is.
No, your arguments are based on old and faulty data.

Your link does not say what number of elective abortions are desired because of rape. Try again.No, your arguments are based on old and faulty data.

Understanding Pregnancy Resulting from Rape in the United States
It shows you how often RRP occurs. Quite frankly it is no one's business why someone gets an abortion in the first trimester.
I have said that I am opposed to abortion after viability unless the fetus has an anomaly that isn't compatible with life or is a danger to the life of the mother and cannot be safely birthed.
I apologize. It is not my intent to seem dismissive and uncaring toward victims of rape. I am pro-choice. I would like to see access to elective abortion protected Federaly so that States cannot make their own more restrictive rules. As a cis male discussing public policy, all I have to go on is the dry data. If the data is bad then I will revise my argument when better data is presented.
Voters need to be educated on the problem of RRP and help take steps to solve it. This requires broad distribution of anonymous reporting data. Any specific person's reason is private and it's the public business to have anonymous reporting data to support appropriate legislation.
