[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You are quibbling about negligible numbers, op.
People have linked the stats.
300-600 of those procedures are performed yearly.
Even if every single one of them was just some murderous slut that wanted to kill a beautiful, perfect, cherubic, blonde curled, blued eyed, Gerber model-like baby, it would be a statistically irrelevant number.
And we know it’s insignificant, because Covid was fatal to 1% of the US population.

You are inquiring about .01[/b][/quote]

It's even more extreme.  Your off at least 2 orders of magnitude (4 if you were talking straight proportion rather than percentage).  It is 0.0001% or 0.000001 if you aren't using percentages.  That's the estimated number of elective abortions after 26 weeks out of over 4M pregnancies every year.

Now, compare that to to the 32.9 maternal deaths per 100,000 live births.  
For comparison, the total number of abortions after 26W is 0.8 per 100,000 live births.

So there are 40 times more mothers dying in childbirth every year than are having any type of abortion after 26W, let alone elective ones.

So, why does OP, who claims to be pro-choice, want to push the agenda that number of third trimester abortions is statistically significant.  Many more mothers will die from childbirth complications if these laws are put into effect than the number of babies who will be aborted.  Add in that the maternal mortality number does NOT include those women who will develop lifelong health complications, lose their fertility or possibly be hospitalized for weeks due to chronic conditions like sepsis.  It also does not take into account that many of those 0.8 abortions per 100K were due to conditions that the infants could not survive without medical intervention, significant pain and complete lack of any form of quality of life.  So she wants to find numbers that force infants who have no perception of the world, will be in pain, will have to survive on medical equipment having oxygen forced into their lungs, just to that they can be born and live days or weeks.

This ban on late-term abortion is cruel and inhumane to both the infants and to mothers.  There is no one that is having elective abortions for healthy babies that will not have any medical complications.  ZERO.  Neither of the two remaining abortion providers who will handle third trimester abortions would condone the abortions for any baby that can survive by itself outside the womb without medical intervention.[/quote]
NP. Thank you for bringing these facts.  The amount of mis and disinformation around abortion is staggering.[/quote]
