Pregnancy is a life-threatening condition. Women die from being pregnant. We have known that for thousands of years.
They die from hemorrhage, infection, pre-eclampsia (which can lead to fatal seizures), obstructed labor, amniotic fluid embolism, thromboembolism, a ruptured uterus, retained placenta, hydatidiform mole, choriocarcinoma and many other causes that fill the obstetrics textbooks. Modern medicine can prevent and treat many, but not all, of these conditions. Some potentially fatal problems cannot be foreseen or prevented. Pregnancy always comes with some irreducible risk of death.
There are factors that put some women at higher-than-average risk of death from pregnancy: age (to be an early adolescent is more dangerous), high blood pressure, many previous pregnancies, diabetes, obesity, a history of cesarean delivery, uterine abnormalities, a scarred cervix, a placenta previa (in which the placenta covers the cervix). A placenta previa can result in sudden, catastrophic hemorrhage that is fatal, and it can require a cesarean delivery — which carries its own risks — since a normal vaginal delivery is impossible.
The measure of risk to a woman’s life from pregnancy itself is called the “maternal mortality ratio.” That is the number of women who die of causes related to or aggravated by pregnancy per 100,000 live births.
In Alabama, the overall maternal mortality ratio in 2018 was 11.9 per 100,000. Among white women, the 2018 maternal mortality ratio was 5.6; among black women, it was 27.6, making black women in Alabama almost five times more likely to die as a result of pregnancy than white women. For the United States overall, the maternal mortality ratio was 20.7.

[[Pregnancy Kills]]
Yes it does if the person is a liberal- it kills the UNBORN!
That’s some messed up reasoning.
When did pregnancy become a 'disease'?
Dems believe in free sex in a highly regulated economy, Conservatives believe in a free economy with highly regulated sex.
The problem isn’t aborting the baby to save the mother’s life. The problem is mothers using abortion as a form of birth control.
Yet the mortality ratio for aborted babies is 100% everywhere.
Any health threat associated with pregnancy, primarily exists in third world countries under oppressive political regimes.
In the U.S. most difficult pregnancies are easily managed.
Abortion to SAVE the life of the mother is almost non-existent.
Published on the same day a young teenager may have died at one of his clinics. If she dies I hope he ends up with Gosnell as a cell mate. If she lives, I hope for the same. He’s destined for Hell. The flames of Gehenna await this worthless pile of human refuse.
What a joke. Abortion has probably killed more women in history than pregnancies due to infections what not.
The procedure is one of health abandonment, much like euthanasia. It is horrifying.
Most abortions are the result of a man bullying a woman to abort by abandoning her and not wanting to pay child support. Such men are violent and want her dead and want no affection
Always saying the opposite of the truth, turning things inside out, upside down and in reversed direction will ultimately prove to be another low IQ idea.
Indeed, death in delivery of the baby is due to lack of care, namely the lack of care from a bully abusive husband who is fine killing her and the child, the same type pushing women to abort via economic abandon
Okay, I’ll accept his premise.
Let’s do an experiment, though, to see which is worse. Let’s ask 100 pregnant women if they would rather remain pregnant or have someone sever their spinal cords with a pair of scissors.
PIV is always rape, ok?

Depraved minds ignore that successful abortions are 100% fatal to a living human being slaughter. Even so come quickly Lord Jesus!
Pregnancy kills. Abortion saves lives. War is peace. Freedom is slavery. Ignorance is strength. Somewhere Orwell is sayin’, “Told ya so.”
What an absolutely idiotic argument. It is not only morally bankrupt but has the logical weight of eiderdown. I can’t believe anyone is so stupid tbey’d actually volunteer such a specious case as a defense.
