"Unsafe" Abortions (?)

This just in- teaching people to count. Making my science education of some use.

Reuters headline:
Unsafe abortions kill 70,000 a year, harm millions
Tue Oct 13, 2009 1:29pm EDT
  • Abortion rates fall but unsafe abortions still kill 70,000
  • Women in countries with restrictive laws are at risk
  • Dangerous abortion imposes heavy economic, health burden

Here is where the article completely makes the headline a (horrific) joke-
Despite easier access to abortion with restrictions being relaxed in many countries, the number of abortions fell from an estimated 45.5 million in 1995 to 41.6 million in 2003, the report by the U.S.-based Guttmacher Institute said.

But the study found a stubbornly high number -- almost 20 million -- of unsafe abortions, mostly in poorer countries and often carried out by the women themselves using inappropriate drugs or herbal potions, or by untrained traditional healers.

41.6 million abortions, to use the latest number, equals 41.6 million people killed per year-not 70,000.

41.6 million innocent human babies ground up and thrown away.
But to the media and the political left the horror is that an additional 70,000 women are killed.

To me, the horror is that 140,000 is the additional number killed, not 70,000.
To explain to the poor muddled masses of the left:
70,000 mothers + 70,000 babies killed each year in "unsafe" abortions = 140,000 dead.

41,600,000 + 140,000 makes an even 41,740,000 DEAD.

What is it that makes an abortion safe?
Apparently a 50% mortality rate is considered perfect, a "perfectly safe abortion." As long as one of the two people undergoing the procedure can walk away it is a "safe" abortion.
Usually that survivor is the mother, usually the one who dies is the baby: 50 - 50
Only when the mother is also at risk of injury or death is it "unsafe" and worthy of news coverage, international health outcry, and calls for more funds to ensure that 50/50 ratio is more carefully maintained.

"Glo"-ing endorsement?



Since the 1450's the Bible has remained unchanged. Yes, the word of God is unchanging, and must be vigilently defended and kept. But that is not what I am talking about.

Since Gutenberg invented the printing press and printed his first Bible five and a half centuries have passed and our Bibles have not changed in format.

I propose that those of us serious about the Bible and what it contains enter the 21st century.


Be sure to check out Glo "a better Bible."




Glo will be in retail stores on October 15, 2009. I have ordered it and post a review after I receive it and have a chance to look it over.

Sure its not cheap.
Don't make me start off on what you spend on meals, and movies, and clothes, and . . .
And it turns out to be only about what you pay for a leather bound Bible you set on the shelf in you library anyway.
