I don't believe the figure, no matter WHAT the reasons

Conservatism: Self-centered mean-spiritedness fueled by ignorance and misguided self-importance.

Bigotry is a social disease.

Legalized same-sex marriage almost certainly benefits those same-sex couples who choose to marry, as well as the children being raised in those homes. - David Blankenhorn is president of the New York-based Institute for American Values and the author of "The Future of Marriage."

Perhaps other factors are involved, such as the women referred to were victims of rape or incest, or were rejected by lovers or family members when the pregnancy was disclosed, contributing additional stress?
That's the problem with people who don't read - or don't understand math.

Nothing is saying 1/3 of the post-abortive women commit suicide.

ATTEMPTED suicide - not commited.
and YOUR post stated that 28% attempt - and everybody has said ALMOST 1/3 - which 28% is

Quote:
4. 60% of post-abortion women seriously contemplate suicide, and 28% attempt suicide.

You would be suprised about how many times you contemplate suicide while your infant is screaming every night at 3:00AM.

Maybe if we focused more on the reasons women get abortions like social and monetary inequality, violence, and then put money into medical advances then there would be less babies euthanized. I bet that would make Jesus happy!

In a society like the US, social and monetary inequality is just another way of saying you aren't trying hard enough!

Been there, done that. 3 times.
It's part of what you do as a parent.

You don't kill the baby.

But isn't murdering a fetus so much easier than shaking a baby?
Especially when you're tired.

First of all, an unborn child is still a child.


And no, I never found it to be so. I actually love(d) all 3 of my children, and never looked at them as an inconvenience.

Well that's interesting, I hate both my kids. But I'm just a divorced father paying child support. Pretty inconvenient.
