I believe it was foreverblue was saying something in regards to heart surgery and abortion not being similar because if some don't have the heart surgery that they can die well if some women do not have an abortion, they can die too, so what is the difference, they can die in both situations.

Brianbaby, the risk of death in pregnancy is always 50%, just as anything else, you don't need statistics, you just need to see it happen.
Fishx, you talked about the 9 things that happen in termination of pregnancy, these things also happen in labor & delivery.
Jlee, that was your choice, someone elses choice can be different because of different reasons, that was your right but not the right of others. You might accept it but but others do not have to. You feel that you are carrying a baby, most prego women do, I guess that o.K, if that is what you want to feel or believe and you would not be aborting a child as it has been proven several times that it is a z/e/f, then post birth it becomes a baby, then a child.
You guys need to work in ob/gyn, then labor & delivery, neo-natal, then you might understand more.
The best to ya!

A woman has every right to do what she wants with her body, that includes having an abortion.

As for contraceptives? Hah. What a joke. "yeah, use contraceptive if you don't wanna get pregnant" :roll: besides abstinence, there isn't a form of birth control thats 100% affective. I know someone who concieved her twins while on the depo shot, and then her other kids were concieved while on the pill. So the whole theory "if you don't wanna get pregnant take birth control" doesn't really work out.

A woman has a right to her body period, end of story. If its not your body, don't worry about it.

So if a woman has a right to do anything to her body then suicide should be legal. (i don't know if it isin the states, but here it is considered illegal)

suicide and attempted suicide: legal issues.

Brown jm, cornish j, swart gt.

Canadian federal and ontario provincial statutes are reviewed as they relate to suicide and attempted suicide. Issues addressed include involuntary committal to psychiatric facilities, death by suicide as a legal cause of action, insurance exclusionary clauses and coroner's inquests.

i also know personally that suicide is illegal here but do not want to get into that story.

Drug usage should be legal, prostitution should be legal.

You went from people having abortions to killing themselves.

If they don't want to be pregnant they shouldn't have to be period.

And I don't think suicide is legal, or illegal. I mean, what are they gonna do if someone kills themself? Send them to jail because its illegal? :roll: please. I know if you attempt suicide, then you are sentenced to spend time in a psychiatric place.

you can't just claim that there is a 50% chance of death during pregnancy without giving a statistic.....Your making your own statistic up and you have no credability to your name....No~half of the women who are pregnant die! Thats false and you should correct yourself......I'm pregnant and thats all I need to know thank you!

No I do believe you misunderstood me, I did not say that 50% or half of all women pregnant die, I said that the risk of death in any pregnancy is always 50%, just like their is a 50% of death, going to surgery, going to bed, walking across the street, getting out of bed, etc., in other words if it is your time, it is just that, your time to die.
The best always.

do you really believe that open heart surgery and abortion are even close,
they are both medical procedures to rectify a problem that the patient faces. They are no different.

how can you say there is a risk of death in pregnancy??? Give me an accurate statistic that gives any back bone to what your trying to claim~!
the average mortality from childbirth ranges in the us between 300-500 per year from 4.5 mill births. I can dig out sources if you want them.

The average mortality from abortions ranges in the us between 3-8 per year from 1.1 mill abortions.

So yes, giving birth is much more risky, and the mortality is dramatically worse than from abortions.

(and, btw, abortion is the safest surgical procedure in the us today. So if you want to talk about risks, you will be indicting all surgeries.)

bd I do,nt belive you just said that no one has died through a termination what about the women that are dying from methotrexate poisoning

please note this is fact.
please provide some substance to that fact. Please show that there are ahbortions through mtx that causes the woman to die.

Because that is not just some hypothetical thing you are talking about, is it?

that was not within the context of the thread,do not twist my posts .Are you saying that people choose to have heart surgery like they do abortion or is the scenario a bit different,are you trying to tell me the outcome of not having an abortion will be the same as not having heart surgery.

Thank you

nice word useage....."a problem"......

I don't remember ever saying anything about the risk of dying during an abortion......I was just trying to point out what sandyallen said was way off.....There is not a 50% of dying during pregnancy. Period.
I'm so glad that abortion has become the #1 safest surgery in the us today!!! Forget heart surgery or any lifesaving operation~all Dr.'s should focus on this procedure!!

quite often, heart surgery is a quality-of-life issue. Do you want to not get the chest pain when you excert yourself, f.Ex.

Yes, there is the risk of a heart attack, but then, there is also the risk of dying from pregnancy. The risk is higher from the heart condition, but if that is where we go, then it is more a matter of how high a risk we accept. If you go that route, then we will be banning a whole lot of medical procedures.
