To: Got a right to Life? . . Huh?
Researchers believe the higher rate of deaths related to accidents and homicide may be linked to higher rates of suicidal or risk-taking behavior.

Such risk taking tendencies would be present in some women whether or not they have an abortion, no? So how does having an abortion lead to those deaths?

Absoultely not ....

I've NOT seen the original numbers, nor their particular statistical analysis, but what is the ONLY allowed way to include such a conclusion in a study like this is to find the number of women (in the population at large) who have NOT had deliberate "mother of convenience" abortions - and then get their rate of suicide and accidental "deliberate" deaths. (It's very easy to do, given a little bit of time and money).

Then you get the number of women who've had "medically essential (for the life of the mother)" or "incidental/natural/spontaneous" abortions, plus those who've had regular childbirth - and compare all for comparable age, health, and income.

Then, you look at the results: Do women who have "convenience abortions" kill themselves more often than women who disdn't have "convenience" abortions? - Do women who have had natural abortions lkill themselves more often than women who have deliberate abortions? Do women who have had no pregnancies kill themselves more often than women who have children?

At each question, the numbers will tell you (to within a given level of assurance) whether the difference is simple random chance, only a 5% chance there is a correlation (that there is link in the behaivor) ... a 50% chance of correlation a 95% chance, etc. ... etc.

Nope - If you don't like the answer: Recognize the truth. Don't try to hide behind a pretence that the numbers are wrong (like liberals often do!) ....

Abortions kills a newly-forming life......and is AGAINST every instinct of life and nuturing that EVERY woman, every animal, every plant has had for the past 3,000,000,000 years.

Either evolution and survival of the species are wrong, or abortion is wrong.

No intelligent species, no sub-human species, no living species deliberately kills its own babies ... not for "convenience" and "to keep my pretty figure" of the mother.
