If y'all don't want women to die from illegal abortions, then DON'T PERFORM THEM.<BR/><BR/>Every single woman who dies from an abortion dies at the hands of somebody like you, who thinks abortion is a good idea. The only prolifers who have performed ANY abortions of any kind are the ones who converted after having been among the prochoice.<BR/><BR/>If you offered real help instead of just despair, this wouldn't even be an issue in the first place.Christina Duniganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04785550737493692252noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8395646.post-71957344053400597022008-12-16T02:57:00.000-05:002008-12-16T02:57:00.000-05:00GG, nice quibble.

By "successful ban" I mean, the ban actually stops women from getting abortions from skilled, trained abortion docs. Unlike the bans in the USA before Roe/Wade. And unlike the ban in Ireland.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8395646.post-51679055795455004092008-12-12T23:31:00.000-05:002008-12-12T23:31:00.000-05:00JustTheFacts, please get some facts.

It plummeted after the introduction not of "safe and legal" abortion, but of things like transfusions and antibiotics. <BR/><BR/>And how would a successful abortion ban be deadly? If the law was being successfully enforced, there would be NO abortions, thus no abortion deaths.Christina Duniganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04785550737493692252noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8395646.post-5579329301594004682008-12-12T19:40:00.000-05:002008-12-12T19:40:00.000-05:00If illegal abortions before Roe/Wade were less dea...If illegal abortions before Roe/Wade were less deadly than has been claimed, that's because the bans against abortion were not well-enforced or were inherently leaky (legal abortions available in other states). A SUCCESSFUL abortion ban WOULD be deadly. South Africa showed this in the 1990s when they liberalized their abortion laws and documented an immediate 95% drop in hospital admissions for abortion complications.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8395646.post-64704752743797951602008-12-12T17:07:00.000-05:002008-12-12T17:07:00.000-05:00Anon, I"m trying to be polite, but it's hard to do...Anon, I"m trying to be polite, but it's hard to do when all you do is come in here and post the same goddam things over and over.<BR/><BR/>I'm all for addressing childbirth mortality. I've never said I opposed it. But YOU sound like you're proposing mandatory abortions. NOT EVERYBODY AGREES WITH YOU THAT BABIES ARE VERMIN. Can you grasp that? Many, many women PREFER LIVE BABIES, and they deserve MEDICAL CARE, regardless of how much you, personally, want them to abort. Okay? Got that? Can you wrap your brain around this?Christina Duniganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04785550737493692252noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8395646.post-29547002023926672492008-12-12T09:33:00.000-05:002008-12-12T09:33:00.000-05:00471 women died of complications of pregnancy and c...471 women died of complications of pregnancy and childbirth in the US in 1973.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
