The Second Look Project Roe Reality Check


#2 myth: Most abortions are done because of maternal or fetal health problems, or in cases of rape or incest. </SPAN> FACT: Abortions are rarely done for these reasons.</SPAN>
According to an Alan Guttmacher Institute survey,[8] women cite these as the main reason for an abortion in a very small percentage of cases each year:

• 1% “rape or incest”
• 3% “woman has health problem” (physical or mental)
• 3% “fetus has possible health problem”[9]

For all other abortions, the main reason cited is:

• 21% “unready for responsibility”
• 21% “can't afford baby now”
• 16% “concerned about how having a baby could change her life”
• 12% “has problems with relationship or wants to avoid single parenthood”
• 11% “is not mature enough, or is too young to have a child”
• 8% “has all the children she wanted, or has all grown-up children”
• 1% “husband or partner wants woman to have abortion”
• 1% “doesn't want others to know she has had sex or is pregnant”
• <0.5% “woman's parents want her to have abortion”
• 3% “other”

Under Roe v. Wade, abortions for these reasons or any other reason must be legally permitted.[10]

So?

Those all sound like good reasons to me.....except being coerced by the husband/boyfriend....and even then....she cannot be literally forced to abort.

BTW.....I have never heard of any pro-choice people claiming this was a fact.

Abortion is murder.

Abortion is morally wrong. It is being done as an intervention to avoid death for the sick mother, it is acceptable. But when you have yourself an abortion just to get rid of the baby and to not have a responsibility and just to retain a job, better not make yourself pregnant right?

For single people- to avoid this problem- don't get in bed with a man that you do not love with all your heart..and you won't have a problem - In these cases it's not really aborting of the child that is going on - it is the aborting of a relationship with a man that you should have never had sex with to begin with- Why is it that some woman are such poor judges of character?

Not every woman wants to, or should, breed.
Why do you think that a woman's reproductive choices are any of your business?

A woman's right over her own body does not include the murder of another's body.

Why do you think you have the right to decide what another person can do with their body?
You'd probably be better off minding your own morals for yourself.

Without the parasitic relationship it could not exist. Take it out andsee if it can live on it's own. It is part of the woman's body, feeding off of it.

Should women lose jobs for being pregnant?

No, I think you know I believe Europe has better worker's rights than the US.
