For someone concerned about facts he presents no actual facts to backup his claim of 1 million unnecessary abortions. What is this based upon? How did they identify which were abortions driven by bad medical advice and which were abortions which women claimed were based upon the medical advice but for which that was just a cover to avoid the social stigma often associated with abortion?
Of course this also assumes that an abortion is some kind of harm.
- emiliobumachar 7y agoIf a woman chooses to abort a pregnancy she otherwise wanted because of a perceived high risk of defects, and that risk is actually wildly inflated, that is definitely harm to her, regardless of any considerations of the fetus.
- marcinzm 7y ago>Of course this also assumes that an abortion is some kind of harm. Depending on the person and how late term the pregnancy was, it can be both psychologically and physically harmful. edit: Pregnancy and childbirth can also be psychologically and physically harmful so net harm is more difficult to talk about.
- otabdeveloper4 7y ago> Of course this also assumes that an abortion is some kind of harm. How is a killing of a person not considered harm? (Unless, of course, you're some sort of extreme psycopath.)
- tssva 7y agoAbortion isn't killing a person.
- watwut 7y agoI remember reading that pregnancies from that area and time were routinely terminated by doctors without much further tests for that very fear.
