Speaks for itself, SORRY.
No, "all the science" does NOT say there is an "81% increase in problems".

Look at the peer reviews for this "meta-analysis" of studies. (It wasn't actually a study). The author's methodology was flawed, and there was a clear political/ideological bias.

That's why peer-review is important.

Not true:

In fact, most women who have abortions have had no previous abortions (52%) or only one previous abortion (26%).5National Abortion Federation: Women Who Have Abortions

No problem, here you go. You might be inclined to believe this statistic, as Guttmacher was previously the research arm of Planned Parenthood, who is decidely pro-abortion.

Logic is logic, it's not "liberal" or "conservative". Sometimes equality can't be applied because there is nothing equivilant to balance things out. The big bad one is this topic right here, our bodies, what they do, and what they don't do. You can justify almost everything else but you can't change biology or how babies are born. I know that annoys people because it's the most important control point we have, but it's true. After going around and around with it the final conclusion is that you either have to hold a woman against her will to get something out of her (literally), or you have to admit it's all on her and she holds the power. We can't do one without being a tyrant, and we don't want to do the other because it's giving up too much control. Logic being logic there can only be one answer.

Except no.

There is no equality in a pregnancy.

Man shoots woman wiht love juice, woman has to grow a watermelon for 9 months and then push it out of a opening that's way too small for it.

Until the man can give birth, THEN there will be equality.

This isn't about "liberal logic", this is "logic based upon the fact that a man does not have a freaking vagina".

Facts on Induced Abortion in the United States

The footnotes take you to the study that quantifies the "Half."
From the actual report:
Quote:
Trends since 1973. As predicted by demographers, the
proportion of women having abortions who were undergoing
a repeat procedure increased rapidly following
the legalization of abortion, more than doubling between
1974 and 1979 (from 15% to 32%). Levels of
repeat abortion increased at a slower pace between
1979 and 1993 (from 32% to 47%) and have remained
stable since then. http://www.guttmacher.org/pubs/2006/11/21/or29.pdf
•
47% is not more than half.

BTW, excellent report - thanks for the link.

As long as it is my 'love juice', I am responsible for that watermelon.

The 'opening' has been working for many years, on many animals, and is well designed. If you want to give up your rights, go for it, leave the rest of us alone.

One of the biggest problems in this nation now is men running away from their responsibily to their children.

That's true, but if she gets pregnant, she can't run away. She has to be responsible. Men need to step up and be men, not just sperm donors.
