…because, as everyone knows, abortions are only performed in abortion clinics.
 
You can be sure the whole nations collective of Planned Parenthood and Pro-Choice minions will swarm Mississippi with their propaganda, protests, and pleas to Judges to force abortion on a population that doesn’t want it.

Just like they’ve done everywhere else…

Mississippi Could Become First Abortion-Free State

Jackson, MS – The Mississippi state Senate has approved a measure that abortion backers strongly oppose because it could resulting in stopping abortions at the last remaining abortion facility in the state, making it the first abortion-free state in the country.

WOW! A state with only ONE abortion facility? And it’s not even a tiny state, like Rhode Island. I’m impressed that it has gotten this far. I pray for success for Mississippi. But PP will fight it all the way and for some reason Obama seems to think of PP as his own personal project.

Let’s knock PP down, raze every PP “clinic,” burn them and let the ground swallow them up (sans all human beings who might be inside, of course). The slaughtering will still go on (we now have a PP “clinic” in my sweet little town) but this would be such a huge step in the right direction.
 
Just for the record, this state is ranked #5 in teen pregnancy (as of 2005)

It’s nice to know that whatever they’re doing down there is working (for certain values of “working”).

I’ll wager that the states with the strongest pro-life leanings have higher teen pregnancy rates, lower education rates, and higher divorce rates.

Anyone want to take my wager?

Perhaps you should cite a study done by an organization NOT founded and funded by PP, the very entity under discussion here.

I’ll happily take that trade, in return for lower murder rates.

Well, the burden of proof is on you. So you would need to provide statistics to back up your assertion and those statistics should be from an organization that is not pro-abortion or pro-life (actually stats from both organizations should be included and, really, stats from numerous organizations should be presented). Also, stats for all fifty states would need to be provided. By you.

You’ve chosen three hypotheses to study:
(1) states with the strongest pro-life “leanings” (that term would need an operational definition) have higher teen pregnancy rates;
(2) states with the strongest pro-life “leanings” (operational definition needed) have lower education rates than states with the weakest pro-life “leanings” - please remember the operational definition already mentioned and an operational definition for “lower education rates” would also need to be supplied - by you;
(3) states with the strongest pro-life “leanings” have higher divorce rates (of course remarriage rates should also be provided but that’s just IMHO).

It looks like a lot of work to me. But instead of presenting it as a wager I would think it would be much stronger backup to your assertion (which currently has none except one figure, seven years old and provided by an organization known to be avidly pro-abortion) to present all those stats instead of just presenting a wager. Also, all confounding variables would need to be presented, along with an admission that any obtained results can be obtained because of chance. And conclusions of the research, along with a discussion of any problems, should also be presented. The findings of each study should be discussed - the methods used, the statistical analysis and its appropriateness, and the value of ‘p’ (the probability level would most likely be different in different studies).

Scientific method does not allow for proof. I hope everyone is aware of this.

If I accept your wager are you going to provide everything that is necessary to back up your assertion? Or would you expect me to do all that work?

It’s really beyond the scope of this forum.

Just askin’.
Whoo hoo! Just 700 more posts and I will move up from being a regular member! 🙂

A population that doesn’t want it? You are generalizing greatly-- just because you don’t want it doesn’t mean some folks don’t either. And nobody is “forcing” abortion, they are promoting the choice to have one, huge difference.

Doesn’t matter if “some folks” wish to murder their offspring. The innocent babies get a choice, too.

I can’t say they’re promoting the choice of anything. They’re encouraging abortion. If they were promoting the choice, they’d have birthing room for a woman who wants to keep their child in the clinic. They’d have pamphlets inside about how to give a kid up for adoption, or tell them where they can find a crisis pregnancy center. If they were about choice, they wouldn’t call the police on law-abiding citizens encouraging them to choose life, while simultaneously egging on citizens encouraging women to choose abortion in their practice of spiting at/flipping off/cursing out/etc,etc,etc., those same law-abiding citizens. If it was really about choice to them, no one would have even raised their eyebrow at the Superbowl ad with Tim Tebow and his mother a few years ago.

The thing about choice is that it has at least two options. Promoting choice, thus, must then also promote/encourage** both** options evenly, or it’s not promoting a choice at all, but rather one option over the other. They promote abortions, but they don’t promote keeping the kid, so they are in no way promoting any sort of real choice.

If this calls for the complete annihilation of abortion then no, it’s not a murder of offspring when you choose to abort a fetus, and the idea that unwanted pregnancies have to be forced to birth sickens me. Again, not all want abortion to be gone and the availability of an abortion clinic is not “forced” on anybody.

Having a clinic available is not “encouraging” abortion, they are fighting against a state where abortion may not ever be legally allowed. That’s not encouragement in any way. Whether you want to keep a child or give it away sounds like a different issue, the issue here is having available a choice to abort a fetus
