Obviously a woman who lives with a man is very likely to have an unplanned pregnancy. So every married woman is at risk
Being married doesn't mean that pregnancy at any time is okay.

Why the need to be so judgemental?

% Christians?

Watch the divorce rate climb even higher as families are pushed into circumstances that are more than they can bear.

Watching people cheer the overturn of Roe v. Wade is like watching an 18-wheeler trying to beat traffic and getting stuck straddling train tracks with a train steaming full tilt at it. They think they did great and are invincible, but completely do not grasp the looming disaster that all of the bystanders are seeing unfold.

Yeah, PP is just wrong.

Most abortions are by unmarried, low income women in their 20s without a college degree and with a child. For most women, it is their first abortion.

I’m late to the thread but on top of the statistics. This is mostly correct, though the typical patient isn’t necessarily “all” of these things — it’s putting together several different statistics.

The majority of abortion patients are in their 20s. Teens make up another 12%.

59% already have at least one child.

A majority are not married.

3/4 are either below the poverty line or low-income (defined as below 200% of poverty income).

Interestingly, most used birth control during the month that they became pregnant. (Though not necessarily during the exact encounter.) Condoms were most common.

In surveys that ask why patients seek abortion, people give many reasons. But the PPs who highlight poverty are on top of one of the big ones. Especially for low-income patients who are already parents, they very often say that they are seeking the abortion because they can’t afford another child.

This article made the rounds today for sure. Not that facts and cdc data will shut up the hyper people.

Wrong it’s mothers of other children and most are single never married.

Learn to read a chart, study and label.

We use condoms as birth control because I can't be on hormonal birth control due to a medical condition. We have talked several times that if the condom breaks or we have an accidental pregnancy abortion would be the choice. That would be the best for our family. We have no interest or want for more children and are very happy with our current lifestyle and financial stability.

That's why men get their tubes snipped. You should talk to him about that.

I thought a lot before my abortion and decided that it was the wrong time for me to be pregnant (grad school, debts, no support from the father). This is what most women who have abortions do. It's called being a responsible citizen.

Well, hopefully this decision will motivate women to not sleep with me who are not ready to financially support their offspring. It's called being a responsible citizen. Maybe men can grow up too in the process.

Hopefully, men will get a vasectomy before having sex if they aren’t ready to support and parent children.

Men need to take responsibility here, why are they sleeping with women if they aren’t willing and able to get parent?

This. Teach our daughters to first demand evidence of the guy’s vasectomy.

There are going to be a lot more unwilling middle aged mothers.

Women can have kids until they completely go through menopause, as my mom (pre Roe) and my grandmother found out. Family story is that the doctor had to medicate my grandmother after she started going into hysterics when she found out she was pregnant at 45.

Yep. We are UMC and have three kids. Had an oops pregnancy a couple of years ago. Terminated early because we emphatically did not want a fourth child. We could probably afford a fourth if we stretch thin, but I don't want to stretch thin. And I emphatically do not want to go through pregnancy, babyhood, sleepless nights etc. again. No regrets whatsoever.

We also have three embryos on ice that are scheduled for "compassionate disposal" or whatever they call it.

We donated ours to research. Not to be used to attempt pregnancy, but for medical/science study. The embryology lab offered us this option.

Oh, and 43% of abortions are within the first 6 weeks of the pregnancy. An additional 36% are in weeks 7-9. Another 13% are in weeks 10-13. So that means that 92% are in the first trimester.

Women who have abortions after the first trimester are more likely to be poor, young, and/or with serious health complications for themselves or the fetus if they continue with the pregnancy.

These kinds of abortions are vile to any normal reasonable person and yet your side offers nothing to say.

Also the minute you guys started saying that it is not about the burden of pregnancy and childbirth but control of genetic code, you have revealed your true colors. All the sob stories about women bleeding out and rapes, bullshit.

Thanks for teaching me all of this. Truly. Now I know the extent of your moral, scientific, and logical bankruptcy. Now I see why you all are so scared of this decision, because you know you can never win the kind of roe policy on a democratic basis, and the SC just shut down your only shortcut.

It’s not your uterus there Sparky. So settle down and stop deciding what other people are required to grow inside their bodies.
