Yes. Your math is way off. Sorry.

eacy year, 20 million of them obtained illegally.
There are approximately 126,000 abortions conducted each day.

...The bill would make it a crime for doctors to perform an abortion unless the procedure was necessary to save the woman's life. It would make no exception for cases of rape or incest...

that there are babies within that 800,000 to a million or so that
are being aborted because there are serious problems, either
with the mother, or the child.
we can bicker
you can't deny that there would be some ...
like there really isn't that many women who have abortions because they determine the health risk to them is just too great
how many women do we have now on anti-psychotic,,
anti-depressant drugs?

I personally am opposed to abortion, but everyone has the right to chose what goes on with their own body.

But the pregnant woman isn't aborting herself. She's aborting another human being. She isn't stopping her own heart from beating, she's stopping another human's heart. She isn't painfully burning herself to death, she is burning to death another human being. She isn't ripping herself apart, she's ripping another human being apart.

This is a private issue that should involve the woman, her partner, and the woman's physician and no one else.

=======================================
really, ya think so??
I think you're treading in dangerous ground here. so, if giving birth to the baby will kill the mother, well, they baby's right is "superior"?
or, IF the medicine the women needs to take for some health problem is dangerous to the baby, but necessary for her, well, the baby's right is superior??
or, if their is reason to believe that the women's diet is harming the baby's developement, the baby's right is superior to the mother's right to the freedom in choosing what she feels is best as far as diet??
really, very dangerous ground here....glad I can't have children anymore. this attitude stinks, and well, if it is ever reflected in the laws of the land, childbearing or not, my husband will be made to understand the full meaning of the abstinance only!!! as well as alot of other men I hope!!
