:: Your comparison is badly misleading, and scientific nonsense.  A woman who is pregnant is not choosing between an abortion and not being pregnant.  She is choosing between an abortion and childbirth, and it is indisputed that choosing abortion is harmful to her health.--[[User:Aschlafly|Aschlafly]] 23:32, 10 April 2007 (EDT)

:Please would you define your understanding of 'falsely denies that carrying a pregnancy to term is healthier for the mother than having an abortion'? As far as I can ascertain, the reverse is the truth. According to [http://www.guttmacher.org/pubs/ib_0599.html]maternal deaths per 100,000 abortions in the developed world are of the order of 0.2-1.2 per 100,000, whereas in the USA maternal deaths associated with giving birth were 17 per 100,000 (12.2 in  the UK) [http://www.who.int/reproductive-health/publications/maternal_mortality_2000/mme.pdf]

:: The above data are silly and misleading, even if true.  The above risks are far too small to be worth considering, and are orders of magnitude smaller than the risk of breast cancer and premature birth of future children.--[[User:Aschlafly|Aschlafly]] 23:32, 10 April 2007 (EDT)

:::You're missing the point entirely Andy.  There's a difference between pregancy decreasing the risk and abortion increasing it.  If you phrase it that way well and good, but that's not what you're doing.  And you still haven't addressed the issue that the majority of studies find no link between abortion and breast cancer.  Too much to hope for I suppose.  [[User:Murray|Murray]] 02:02, 11 April 2007 (EDT)
