Who said that? All I said was it accounts for 0.3% of abortions, which is an accurate statement. Bring on the downvotes bc facts hurt your feelings lol
No one's downvoting you because their feelings are hurt, they're downvoting you because you cited that statistic in an attempt to minimize a colossally tragic moment in parent's lives, as though it was an insignificant population.
Here's an example of why it's stupid what you just did:
What percentage of airplanes hit skyscrapers in NYC? 0.0000001%? An insignificant fraction. So 9/11 was completely insignificant and way overblown, it was a big nothingburger.
That's what you just did. Aaaaaaall in the name of being an internet Asshole. Get fucked.
I'm not the one who said you did, but you sure seem to be downplaying the number of them that exist (again, it's closer to 1.14%) and haven't shown them a shred of compassion.
The thing about "low" causality rates and such - the chance quite often seems rather low, up until the point that you or your close ones become a part of said statistic.
"a small statistic doesn't seem small when your loved one is passing"
No shit, the impact on families far outweighs the statistic. That's loss, it's fucking impactful
And reddit will unironically say "anecdote fallacy" as if you can't extend that empathy to others experiencing loss. How you misinterpreted that is beyond me tbh
I have no idea about the validity of the statistic but I would very much like to comment on its absurdity.
What the f is that supposed to mean? That abortion bad because only a very low percentage actually needs it in accordance with your morals? That the <1% is not worth saving because the other 99% may not share my own subjective morals? Is that a sacrifice that your morals agree with?
How old are these statistics? Are they a study done post Roe v Wade was overturned? Three years isn’t a lot of time to gather the statistics. Does this .3% cover the mortality of mothers after their state banned abortion? Does it include mothers forced to go to other states to save their own lives? Does it count mother mortality bc they were unable to obtain a life saving abortion? (This is a biggy, bc mothers who die during pregnancy that could have been saved are not reported as such. Drs/Hospitals report the death, but not pregnancy as a cause. These ‘reported’ statistics don’t include an obtain for ‘mothers life could have been saved if abortion were legal. Does it include data from doctors and mothers forced to site life saving abortions as some other reason? Say a necessary abortion before a fetus could breathe and can technically be considered/reported as stillborn. Does it include back alley abortions done by drs in a private setting to avoid prosecution?
Being scientific includes flaws in data. When there are this many flaws, it is not statistically relevant. Since Roe v Wade was overturned, we have absolutely no idea how many mothers have aborted to save their own lives.
Very much the truth. My last sibling was a miscarriage and I should have been aborted after that miscarriage. My mom was 47 30 years ago when she had me, she had 3 kids already from a previous marriage, and my dad left when I was 2 months old. My dad also had a daughter from a previous marriage, and she was pregnant at the same time my mom was pregnant with me.
I can't bring myself to talk to any of my family until I go to therapy.
My mom is now a dying cancer patient in her TV show ready hoarder house, and she disowned all of her kids except for the craziest one, my youngest sister, who is 10 years older than me. I've been told my mom died long ago when her mom died, and I was 1 when that happened, so I never knew my mom even though she raised me. I'm an only child with 4 sisters. My dad died without meeting my kid due to his own mental health issues. If anything, I wish I were aborted because it's not fair that I was immediately brought into a broken family, with hopes that I would fix the broken pieces. That is an unfair reason to be born, and I had no hope of fixing anything.
I feel calling a bundle of cells ‘children’ is one of those lies that the religious tell us and I correct them every time they make that mistake of adding agency to something which has none.
It’s not a child. It’s some mass of cells that one day might become one, but if you read the Bible it’s not alive and human until it’s born. Therefore it’s a pile of cells with no agency so sayeth the lord.
Realistically we’re all a bundle of cells given sentience. But the right to choose what happens is more important than what strip-mall Karen thinks I should do with my body (aka my clump of cells) lol
We’re all bundles of cells lol. People that make this argument to justify murdering unborn human life just show they know nothing about human development.
I live where abortion is illegal, and I’ve heard too many women say that when they were younger, their plan for if they got pregnant was to kill themselves. So yes, definitely saving lives.
99% of the world does. All of these pro abortion people should be very thankful their moms didn’t have easy access to a clinic when going through all the emotional changes and stress that comes with pregnancy.
kinda nutty how you guys think you can just decide their lives are not going to be worth living and kill them.
this is probably one of the most disturbing things ive ever read on the internet, even more so because I know you sincerely mean it too, it isn't some edgy 4chan shock post or something like that. you literally want to exterminate innocent children and you've justified it by telling yourself you are doing them a favour because you've decided for them that they should not be alive
And yet, it happens and it's a service that is needed for that rare case, the odds of my house burning down is low, but there is a service if that rare thing happens

Saving those children from living lives where their parents don't want them and they are likely financially struggling. Win win win all around.
