Statistically speaking... HyogaRott Send a noteboard - 15/11/2012 07:03:51 PM
Intentional abortion to save the life of the mother is performed in about 0.004% of all abortions (151 instances between 1967 & 1990).

Death of the mother during an abortion procedure occurs in approximaely 0.3% of all abortions.


In other words, dying because you had an abortion performed on you is about 1,000 times more likely than dying because one was NOT performed.

Regardless, both occurances are HIGHLY unlikely and should not be the basis for any discussion beyond "Damn, what a shame that happened to her."

But you cannot call another living person an "environment." Only for parasites. - 16/11/2012 10:16:18 PM 550 Views
