Sure, it has to be a hard-working, smart, dedicated person but there are lots of those! There'll be another Ghandi soon enough; the world doesn't need mine. <br /><br />If Einstein had been aborted, someone else would have done his work.OperationCounterstrikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11877707857942926743noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6387757235421993128.post-27158208060668775392010-01-28T22:50:06.484-05:002010-01-28T22:50:06.484-05:00Thanks for having the courage, adn creativity, to ...Thanks for having the courage, adn creativity, to create this site.

Why do you stand up for being pregnant? Yes, that's a silly question, but it's also silly to ignore the fact that abortion is MUCH safer than childbirth to try to make a point. And what are you doing to make pregnancy and childbirth safer?<br />Anyone in the medical field knows there is always risk for complications, including death, with any surgical procedure. There is no such thing as a "routine" procedure, and good doctors and nurses never forget that. The fact that the mortality rate from abortion is so low is a testament to the professional care given by the doctors and nurses. <br />Maybe if more hospitals would allow abortions to be performed there, the mortality rate from abortions would be even lower. But many people, maybe even you, don't want abortions performed in hospitals, so maybe you have some blood on your hands too. You don't want women to die, so if performing abortions in a hospital setting would reduce the mortality rate even more, why would you be against this? Abortion is a legal procedure, so you shouldn't be against anything thing that makes it even safer. Not if you truly care about women,Kristenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01679796426597205288noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6387757235421993128.post-58561050166415756642010-01-27T23:48:17.277-05:002010-01-27T23:48:17.277-05:00...And that's why this blog shouldn't ente......And that's why this blog shouldn't entertain ridiculous questions in the first place. Did you see how long my comment got?! Sorry. <br /><br />Also, haha, I said "the WHO" because I was going to spell out the-world-health-organization and then said oh screw it and acronymized (?) WHO except everybody knows you don't say "*the* WHO" unless you are talking about "My Generation" and 1960s BritRock. Also once I had a classmate who always called it "hoo" instead of "dubyuwaitcho" and it still makes me laugh. One of my older profs said that too. And "you-sayd" for USAID!

Abo...Steph and Anti-Anti, y'all are so right. <br /><br />Abortion-related maternal mortality where abortion is illegal: 330 deaths per 100,000 abortions<br />Abortion-related maternal mortality where abortion is legal: less than 1 death per 100,000 abortions<br /><br />In the United States, the data is 0.4 deaths per 100,000 abortions compared to 9* deaths per 100,000 births. As a conservative estimate, abortioneers often say "overall, about eleven times safer than carrying a pregnancy to term" but really, the ratio we get here means the risk of death from abortion is *22* times lower! <br /><br />*(The overall maternal mortality ratio wavers between 8 and 11 per 100,000, depending on the year.) <br /><br />Safety of anesthesia is another controversial topic, actually, and I don't know the literature like the back of my hand as I do with abortion, but I went through a couple questionable articles and some legit epidemiology and it seems to be around 1 in 100,000 in the US (a tenfold improvement from the 1970s and a hundredfold from the 1950s!) -- but, again, I don't know the field so well. <br /><br />When it comes to blogging, I try to leave the stats to people like the Guttmacher Institute and the WHO, but it's what I look at in my spare time, so there you go. <br /><br />The really insanely frustrating thing, though, is the condescension involved in telling someone they ought to be spending their time doing something that they ALREADY DO, and that many people have been ALREADY DOING for DECADES, managing to achieve unbelievable improvements in the saving of women's lives in a relatively short period of human history. To say that to someone, and to say it as though you thought of something totally brilliant, just reveals that (a) YOU're not working on any of that brilliant work yourself, and (b) you never thought to find out if other people are. And therefore (c) this is a red-herring issue, because if it truly were central to your commitments, you would have looked it up already, or started doing it yourself. <br /><br />See http://www.prochoice.org/pubs_research/publications/downloads/professional_education/CPG2009.pdf for a practical distillation of these dedicated researchers' work, evidence-based best-practices for eliminating maternal mortality and morbidity from abortion.placenta sandwichhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14729355361057625131noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6387757235421993128.post-22235670221305863412010-01-27T22:54:09.843-05:002010-01-27T22:54:09.843-05:00Hey Matt, in the area I live, last year a girl die...Hey Matt, in the area I live, last year a girl died from an adverse reaction to general anesthesia during a simple tooth extraction procedure.

Forgive me. <br /><br />Matt: You keep commenting, so I'll give you your 15 minutes. <br /><br />More women die each year during childbirth than they do during abortions. Many more. Abortion death rates are only high where abortion is illegal. More to the point, each and every medical procedure bears the risk of death. <br /><br />Idea: protest a cancer treatment center. Did you know that radiation therapy for cancer often CAUSES CANCER? There. I found you a new cause. Go make a sign. <br /><br />Pro-choice folks are not pro-malpractice, pro-ineptitude, or pro-death. UNDERSTAND THAT. It's sickening how Abortioneers are perceived as merchants of death, and you should be ashamed of yourself for the insinuation. <br /><br />That's all.
