Every few years, you see a headline like today’s from Reuter’s: “Abortion Safer Than Giving Birth: Study.”
And you wonder about those headline writers. Don’t they pause, even for a second, and wonder “safer for whom?” When a woman is pregnant, there are two patients. In an abortion, one always dies.
So basically, what you are saying is that almost 50% of the people that enter an abortion clinic through the front door leave through the back door in a trash bag.
Physician, do no harm?

Reply to this commentLinkReport AbuseSafer as defined only as immediate survival rate of the mother? With respect to just the mother, "safer" doesn't include:
--future fertility: If an abortion leaves you infertile, is it "safe?"
Reply to this commentLinkReport Abuse--long term mental health: If you come to serious regret your abortion in the years to come, is it "safe"?
Years ago, when I learned that my medical insurance covered abortion, I tried to find out why. It was because it was less expensive - no need to cover the baby.
Reply to this commentLinkReport AbuseWhat a disgusting headline. I thought the same way - safer for whom? And somehow I have a feeling that the numbers are all fudged to make it seem that way.
So, gals, it's safer for you to kill the baby then it is to have the baby. Wow, that says a lot about our culture.
