re: #391 Aceofwhat?

In 2005, there were 7 deaths among 800,000-ish reported abortions (not all states reported, so the ratio isn’t perfect). During the same year, i believe that there were 12 deaths per 100,000 births.

But they aren’t counted the same. Any death within a year after the delivery that can be said to have been aggravated by the pregnancy is considered a pregnancy-related death, but not so for an abortion related death.

Both rates, therefore, are infinitesimally low once you control for preexisting conditions.

Want the CDC and other links?

Death isn’t the only risk. Abortion at a very early stage is MUCH safer than carrying a baby to term. This is something we call a “fact.” And that’s why the doctor in that video said what he said. He was giving the actor the best medical information possible.
