Reply to comment by Rosebunse in SC woman charged after allegedly consuming abortion pills to end pregnancy by MajesticOuting

3 over an 11 year period with only one woman dying in Ireland. This is anecdotal, but laws can be written to better handle medically necessary abortions for specific conditions. The answer is not to legalize abortion for all to make it easier for a minute percentage of pregnancies.

In 2021 1035 people where murdered with knives. Should we ban knives to protect the rights of people?

Between 2012 and 2023, the period of time in the articles you cited, over 8,000,000 abortions have occurred in the US. That is the killing of 8,000,000 human beings. By comparison to the material mortality rate, there are about 1,000 times more abortions than deaths from maternal causes, and almost all of the maternal deaths were not due to lack of access to abortions.

CDC’s definition of maternal mortality:

“A maternal death is defined as, “the death of a woman while pregnant or within 42 days of termination of pregnancy,” but excludes those from accidental or incidental causes.”

Finland and Ireland had strict abortions laws and yet their maternal mortality rates were much lower than the US.

How many of those children would have been born and actually lived? How many of them would have been given loving home and not been killed?

Tell me, what is the US maternity rate and how does it compare to that of other countries?

Considering the overwhelming majority of abortions are done out of convenience and not due to the child having an abnormality, I would say most of the 8,000,000. I don’t understand why abortion advocates ask if the child would have been loved. If given a choice between being loved by my parents and being killed, I’d choose life every time. Should we kill children who were born but are neglected by their parents? Should we killed people with Down Syndrome or some disability?
