Abortion is not about a woman’s health. It is about her babies death.

[jyro]

it’s also not a form of birth control like some abortion supporters claim

[Secret Agent Man]

the fact the majority of women never have an abortion, and never talked to a baby butcher, or set foot in an abortion mill, proves it has nothing to do with healthcare.

further equating it to tumor removal is ludicrous. people don’t grieve tumors or are depressed tumors are gone. they don’t have mock funerals for tumors or name their tumors.

[Blue Collar Christian]

To think that pregnancy is an illness that can be cured by killing the unborn child is such twisted logic. There’s illness there alright, mental/spiritual illness.

[UCANSEE2]

Abortion data shows a correlation to a higher incidence of breast cancer.

A woman’s whole body chemistry is thrown off kilter when a fetus is removed from the womb too early.

Not being a woman who has had an abortion, I can’t say what it does mentally to them. The human mind can rationalize and hide certain feelings, but it never forgets.

Abortion Far Deadlier Than Childbirth

afterabortion.org/2000/abortion-four-times-deadlier-than-childbirth/

Mothers who choose abortion are much more prone to suffering death from various causes (suicide, accident, homicide, death due to medical causes) than Mothers who give birth, Mothers who suffer miscarriage, or Women who have not had a pregnancy.

There is a heightened death rate after abortion for all causes together: Compared to women who carry to term, women who abort are 3.5 times more likely to die within a year.

Maternal Mortality in Finland – Women of reproductive age (15-49) who died between 1987 and 1994 – 9,192 women studied. Source: STAKES, the statistical analysis unit of Finland’s National Research and Development Center for Welfare and Health. “No Pregnancy” (second row) set as baseline-1.0, against which are measured rates for Birth, Miscarriage and Abortion.

The Finnish post-abortion death statistics are considered particularly reliable because there is little opposition to abortion in Finland: it is a “settled issue”, there is little domestic controversy, Finland is one of the most prosperous countries in the world. “The quality of service in Finnish health care is considered to be good; according to a survey published by the European Commission in 2000, Finland has the highest number of people satisfied with their hospital care system in the EU: 88% of Finnish respondents were satisfied compared with the EU average of 41.3%.”

"Abortion advocates recognize that there’s something uniquely terrible about the act that requires them to construct a whole new lexicon to conceal it. "

This is why they call it "abortion" (the vague term) instead of the correct, specific term: "abortion of a pregnancy."

[Salvation]

Sen. Richard Blumenthal (D, Conn.), how about God's point of view here?

[huldah1776]

This bill needs to be aborted.

[UCANSEE2]

Trying to stick to the subject.....

The following procedures should NOT be covered under HEALTH CARE INSURANCE.

Abortions
Breast Enlargements
Penis Enlargements
Penis/Vagina Swap
Buttocks Enlargements
Hair replacement
Cosmetic Plastic Surgery (unless due to injury)
Botox injections

Those are just a few that I can think of.

Pregnancy is not a sickness. Abortion is not health care.

[Taxman]

“Legal abortion is one of the safest medical procedures in the United States.”

I hardly think the baby being aborted would agree with this statement!

Abortion is murder!

[vette6387]

Blumenthal’s mother should have aborted him! What an ugly MFer, and that’s only the part of him you can see. Inside it’s far worse!

[SuziQ]

Employing the trusty legal-and-therefore-safe canard, Blumenthal’s proposal states, “Legal abortion is one of the safest medical procedures in the United States.”

I don't see how a medical procedure can be called safe when one of the two people on which it being performed is killed in the process.
