I am not dangerous, and neither is narses.


You are not discussing "elective" abortion, except in the case of the abortion for "health" and possibly for "rape."

If we could get the courts to understand that "health" and "life" are not synonymous, we could limit 96% of all abortions.

3% of abortions are due to your reasons. And those which are carried out after 15 weeks are statistically more dangerous than carrying the child to delivery. After 20 weeks, there is no reason to kill the child to terminate the pregnancy. There is never a reason for 'partial birth abortion."

Take a look at the pro-aborts' own statistics:
http://www.agi-usa.org/presentations/abort_slides.pdf
Most Important Reason Given for
Terminating an Unwanted Pregnancy
Inadequate finances 21%
Not ready for responsibility 21%
Woman’s life would be changed too much 16%
Problems with relationship; unmarried 12%
Too young; not mature enough 11%
Children are grown; woman has all she wants 8%
Fetus has possible health problem 3%
Woman has health problem 3%
Pregnancy caused by rape, incest 1%
Other 4%
Average number of reasons given 3.7

Don't confuse them with facts. It makes them foam at the mouth...
