There's an old statement: "There's lies, damn lies, and statistics."

Not to say there haven't been lots of abortions since 1970 (there have been way too many) - but - on what basis where these statistics compiled? The US Department of Abortions? No.

There is no accurate number. And not all abortions are the same. Consider - about 1/3 of all women miscarry for any given pregnancy. Commonly, when this occurs, the doctor recommends the woman go for a "D & C" (dilatation and curettage.) It can be used as a diagnostic tool, to clean the uterus after a miscarriage and as a form of abortion. Problem. D&C counts toward the abortion statistics. So - how many "abortions" are not abortions, but clean up after a natural miscarriage? Answer - nobody friggen KNOWS! But we do know the "abortion" statistics are "contaminated" by D&C statistics counting as abortions when many of these are post-miscarriage procedures.

Consider - about 1/3 of all women miscarry for any given pregnancy. Support that with a proof source. I'll wait ...

Because you are ignorant of the facts doesn't mean somebody is cooking the books. There have been over 40 million "elective" abortions since Roe.

There have been many miscarriages as well. I watched my daughter and my wife suffer the same. Nobody will ever convince me that their grief was not a Mother's grief for a lost baby. Ever.

D&C counts toward the abortion statistics.

Are you sure? Do you have a reference? If true, then there really aren't any abortion statistics.
