WEll of course. Obstetrician malpractice insurance is the most expensive in the country. Many OB/GYN doctors have given up delivering babies completely.
 
It probably is safer for the woman. So? What a pointless, inflammatory study.

Well maybe safer in the short term, here and now, but what about to her overall health. (though surgical abortion comes with risks you don’t encounter in any kind of childbirth, like perforated uterus and bowl among others). Cancer rates skyrocket with an abortion, mental health problems, infertility, etc.
I would like to know how they gathered this information, as in the US women who die from botched abortions are listed as a maternal death, and often the real reason they died is covered up, hidden, or classified as something else.

Not to mention, it is pretty difficult to classify abortion as the same level of surgical risk as a full out C-section (and yes, most abortions these days are not even surgical, which would bring the number down even further), which the US has a very high rate (32-34%), and which accounts for a large number of maternal deaths.
 
My reaction is “So what?”

Abortion is a moral wrong. It is taking an innocent life. It matters not one iota if there is a health benefit.

Debating the issue on these grounds is really likely to produce more heat than light. We do not have an intrinsic right to kill another human.
 
I have no doubt aborting a tiny baby is less dangerous than giving birth to a fully formed one. That element of procreation has always been somewhat dangerous. It misses the point entirely.
 
Crock. Bet they didn’t take into account post abortion depression

I have to agree to this. The only thing ‘safer’ is just the likely risk that the OB/GYN or any doctors won’t be sued.

When one of my sisters was pregnant with her first baby somewhere along her third trimester, (I don’t recall how far long she was when she delivered,) she went in for her regular scheduled appointment and they took her blood pressure as always. Well they took it once during the entire appointment and the one time of all her appointments it was actually somewhat high (though not at a dangerous level) and the doctor flipped and had her schedule a date so that she could induce labor.
That doctor was/is a good OB/GYN as she went to the same one during her second pregnancy and they really do care for the health of the mother and baby but I’m sure the bottom line on that one was the risk his practice too. Especially now that’s always some sort of influencing factor.
 
Human medically maybe, but we all fall short in our faith. God said, “Go forth and multiply”. He did not say “Only if you want to, if not, then kill the unborn child”. Sure, it’s safer. Giving birth is undoubtly the most severe pain that a woman will endure. Why, God made it that way. All the studies in the world are not going to change that. We, men, are only there for the sensual part, and then are called names and have our fingers crushed in the delivery room as we can only stand there and suggest “Push”. That is only in recent history. Before men were not to be near the birth of their own child. Why? I don’t know, probably had something to do with decency of the times.

The coupling of a married man and woman is the greatest experience that God gave us. Why do I say it that way? Father Kelly again. He explained to me, when I was about 13 years old that, “When you are kneeling in front of her and very ready, look deep into her eyes and ask yourself, is this the woman I want to be the mother of my children?” If the answer is yes, it is the most wonderful and sensual act between humans. If not, it’s not worth the 20 minutes of pleasure."

I have come to realize over the years that Father Kelly was very right.

Your loving wife will go through that pain for you. Another woman just may not.
 
This has to be completely bogus. Childbirth is a natural process. It’s not a disease, not an abnormality…it is part of God’s plan. Abortion is not! Abortion is an intrusive invasion into the womb to kill a baby. And abortion is safer?..REALLY???:rolleyes:
 
birthlife.org/Universal/nacer_archivos/mundo.html on the many physical effects following abortions , including an 800 % increased risk for breast cancer with numbers approaching 100 % , when there is a family history of breast cancer !

The psychological effects such as depression and eating disorders , family breakups are also well known sequelae !

At the spiritual level , reports of demonisation and all attendant effects -possibly affecting children , in matters such as behavior disorders !

Much of the social ills and highcost for medical care we are facing possibly could be connected to this one serious factor !

Thus , any Govt . that adovocates abortion can be considerd themselves as 'possessed ’ by evil , having become hard of heart !

Hopefully , a new administartion would focus on educating the public thoroughly in these areas , not giving up , with a defeated legal mentality and may be someone with a teaching background is what we mostly need !

Another area that can even help with job growth as well as Godly blessings !

As to fears about population problems , history has shown plenty of times, they are unfounded fears !

There again - we need more lessons in truthful history too !

'Be not afraid ’ of life and its Author - hopefully , the candidate who has taken that exhortation to heart is who could be the real blessing !
