Games on top of games on top of lies...is that really all you have?  According to the CDC, 600 women in the US die annually as the result of pregnancy or delivery complications with the majority of those being the result of delivery room complications...often due to the woman's own behavior...drugs, etc...So we have an actual 0.015% mortality rate for all causes related to pregnancy in the US...and liberally about 0.005 percent die as a result of the pregnancy itself.  A much better argument could be made for never driving, or bathing, or changing light bulbs, or even getting out of bed.


And the whole tangent is meaningless as I have stated clearly and repeatedly that if her pregnancy is an imminent danger to her life, the woman has as much right to defend herself against a real and present threat as anyone else...


Pregnancy in and of itself, however is not a credible threat....if you sit on your front porch, a higher percentage of passersby on the sidewalk are likely to kill you than a pregnancy is likely to kill a woman.  Playing with numbers in a dishonest fashion is no more a credible argument than word games...it simply does not counter the hard scientific facts.




If you are going to play that game, you must first address the myriad of dangers that living itself poses to women that don't involve killing another human being in an attempt to avoid the consequences of life.  If you are so concerned....how many ways of dying must you address which claim more lives than pregnancy?  Or are you being disingenuous, just trying to win an invalid point?




The numbers speak for themselves...again, how many ways are there for women to die that are far more likely to happen than complications due to pregnancy?  If your concern is for the safety of women, why pick a potential threat that is so far down the list?  And you aren't considering the fact that the abortion itself represents a higher risk than simply having the child....women who have abortions are more than twice as likely to die in the 2 year period following the abortion than women who carry their child...then for the following 8 years, women who abort are more than 150 times more likely to commit suicide...killing another human being certainly has mental consequences associated with the act...


Truthfully, your argument isn't about women, or their safety, or their health issues...it is about your desperate attempt to not be wrong.





You don't know what you are talking about and are lying in the process of pretending that you do.




And the fact remains that there is an 0.005 chance that any particular woman will die due to her pregnancy in the US...your argument is bullshit and again, if you are so concerned about the dangers of living to women, why not pick any of the literally hundreds of causes of death that are a greater danger to any woman living in the US today? 




Should anyone be allowed to kill anyone else for reasons that need not amount to more than convenience to make your claim fair and balanced across society?  If a woman is in imminent danger, she has the right to protect herself...she can no more justifiably kill someone who may be a threat to her life than you can....go out and shoot someone and tell the judge that there was a 0.005% chance that that person was going to kill you and you simply acted preemptively.....let me know how that works out for you...they allow death row inmates to write letters I believe.
