    K, nothing against anyone personally but my opinion on this is that if you don't want to discuss the topic, then just don't post in the thread. No big deal and very simple.

    Not sure what the issue is.

    That's what I saw too.
    The U.S.- didn't see worldwide statistic.

    And even w the U.S. you gotta wonder out of the 22% how many of them the health of the mother would be at risk for continuing pregnancy or the baby had a serious health issue, etc.

    it also says



    According to WHO, every year in the world there are an estimated 40-50 million abortions. This corresponds to approximately 125,000 abortions per day. ​

    Which tells you nothing about the percentage of births that are aborted...

    I think it's entirely moral and appropriate for women to hold the power of life and death over their unborn children. They already hold that power, in every other way. They decide who and when to fuck, whether to use birth control, how to manage their health during pregnancy. After birth, the baby has very few rights until he/she is old enough to earn them. Parents make all the important decisions for their children, including choices about medical treatment that may result in death.

    Restrictions on abortion are inconsistent with the views and practices of society on the subject of pregnancy throughout human history. Miscarriages don't get names, funerals, or tombstones. Your age is counted from your date of birth, not date of conception. Legal rights have always started at birth.

    You're letting me down, buddy. :D ;)

    I looked up the study they cite, but it does not specify that.

    I don't understand this.
    All we post are opinions anyways.
    Who cares if it causes conflict, or is uncomfortable for some.

    how do you get that 1 in 5 pregnancies are aborted worldwide from those numbers?

    those are just the total number of abortions performed worldwide per year and per day, nothing about what proportion of total pregnancies that makes up.

    If people are sincere I do not care about it either. On the contrary, I applaud an opposite but wellment opinion/stance.

    I don't like all sorts of threads, yet they are still here.
    Freedom of speech is a wonderful thing, but not only when it suits you.

    Fucking hippy hypocrites.

    My point is that stance on abortion is a very personal matter and it's somewhat rude to ask people their stance. The people that ask usually have a hidden agenda. Pro-life and Pro-choice will be debated to the end of times and nobody will ever come to an agreement. Debating abortion is about as stupid as cat memes.

    Piaf, I don't think anybody said the OP troll can't say what she said at all. Freedom of speech doesn't mean everybody and what they say must be tolerated though. Criticizing is an important part of freedom of speech too.

    Exactly, everyone can post whatever they want, including me so that's why I'm posting my opinion in here. I didn't tell her not to post this, all I was saying is this is a stupid, useless thread.

    Rainy, sure, I do agree that no one is really gonna change their mind and debating abortion is usually pretty pointless.

    But at the same time, if you feel that strongly that it's a personal matter for you... how you feel about it and all... then just don't post in it.


    Anyway, back on topic- I agree with eggsprog that I'm not sure where the OP got the stat from on that page for the reasons that eggsprog said in post #51.

    The reasons for which you are critizing thisthread make little sense.

    And one more thing to RDH... (made a new post instead of editing because thread seems to be moving so fast I'm not sure if anyone would read this if I edited)....
    As to it being rude to ask someone their stance on abortion- I would agree if we were talking about just going up to someone one on one that you don't really know that well and asking them/putting them on the spot about it.

    But in a thread that isn't directed to any specific person, I don't feel it's rude because no one is forcing, or even expecting anyone to have to answer.
