[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Abortions performed that end a persons life for no other reason than convenience isn't healthcare - change my mind....[/quote]

"convenience"?  No changing your mind with a perspective like that.

:roll: [/quote]

look at the chart earlier.  Rarely is it ever for medical reasons - mostly it's for convenience. [/quote]

Only if you think being 14, or being in a domestic violence situation, or being below the federal property line with no way to support a child are mere “inconveniences”. [/quote]

Even if you eliminate that, look at the other reasons.  Still overwhelmingly for convenience. [/quote]

No, it’s not. You are just using  a chart that misrepresents what happens by using euphemism and cross counting women. I’m not sure why you cropped out the line under the graph that says one woman could be counted in multiple categories.  Oh wait.  I do know why you did. It doesn’t suit your narrative.

So a woman who has health problems could also be counted in too poor.  Done with childbearing also often correlates with too poor under “we can’t afford the kids we have, let alone add another child”.

Maternal and fetal health 7%
Can’t afford— 25%
“Lack of maturity” (teenagers)  8%
“Relationship issues” (often code for domestic violence). 9%

“Not ready”— cross counts with teens, and can’t afford
School and career concerns (often overlaps with teens) 4%

Your chart is a joke. Quit using it to prove a point. [/quote]
