Having an abortion almost doubles a woman's risk of giving birth dangerously early in a later pregnancy, according to research that will provoke fresh debate over the most controversial of all ~~medical~~ killing procedures.

That's killing procedure. A medical procedure, by definition, is a procedure that saves a life or heals an injury or impedes a disease process. The only aim of abortion is to kill the baby and almost never has a beneficial effect on the mother's health. This story shows one of the many ways abortion routinely harms the mother's health.

Abortion is not about saving women’s lives!

Total Abortions since 1973

46,023,191

Why the drop after 1960? (in deaths of women from illegal abortions)

The reasons were new and better antibiotics, better surgery and the establishment of intensive care units in hospitals. This was in the face of a rising population. Between 1967 and 1970 sixteen states legalized abortion. In most it was limited, only for rape, incest and severe fetal handicap (life of mother was legal in all states). There were two big exceptions — California in 1967, and New York in 1970 allowed abortion on demand. Now look at the chart carefully.

Abortion Statistics - Decision to Have an Abortion (U.S.)

· 25.5% of women deciding to have an abortion want to postpone childbearing

· 21.3% of women cannot afford a baby

· 14.1% of women have a relationship issue or their partner does not want a child

· 12.2% of women are too young (their parents or others object to the pregnancy)

· 10.8% of women feel a child will disrupt their education or career

· 7.9% of women want no (more) children

· 3.3% of women have an abortion due to a risk to fetal health

2.8% of women have an abortion due to a risk to maternal health

So how many women’s lives have been saved by abortion?

Only about 3% of abortions since 1972 were reported to be “due to a risk to maternal health.” A reasonable person would recognize that not all of those cases represent a lethal risk. But let’s say they did. That means that nearly 45 million fetuses were butchered to save the lives of about 1.3 million women. Or put another way; 35 babies are killed to save each woman.

Abortion was legal in all 50 states prior to Roe v. Wade in cases of danger to the life of the woman.

It is awfully hard to die from an illegal abortion when all abortions are legal.

The truth is that women routinely die from "legal" abortions, but since it no longer serves a political purpose it is an unreported nonevent.

The inescapable truth is that anyone unscrupulous enough to kill a baby isn't going to be all that concerned about killing an adult. The abortionists concern for the woman is rooted only in what is good for business.

Great informative post! As I've said many times, abortion is a homicidal means to cover up the natural consequences of a procreational sex act.

In fact, aborting mothers have at least one thing in common with pedophiles who kill their victims. Both kill a child to protect themselves from the consequences of their sexual acts.
