What would save more children's lives?

[manifold]

The Affordable Care Act (ACA) or banning abortions?

Please vote and discuss.

aca

since no abortions means more children that can die.

babies on the other hand will suffer greatly, since aca will fund abortions

a baby is a child dummy.

a baby is a child dummy.

But a child is not necessarily a baby.

a small fine point, and I do not stand corrected.

An irrelevant fine point in this context.

If you excluded 'babies' from consideration then you were wrong to do so.

Fact, not opinion.

You were specific, so I responded in kind.

Yes, I specifically said children, which includes babies too.

Too bad for you that you misunderstood and voted ACA.

I voted ACA even though I don't support it.

I question whether banning abortion would save any children's lives at all.

That's a good point. I didn't think of that before I voted.

ACA doesn't fund abortions. It has been illegal for around thirty years to fund abortions with taxpayer money.

Try to keep up.

It would save every single one aborted.

How many abortions are performed annually in the United States?

Let's call it (conservatively) a million.

In 2008, approximately 1.21 million abortions took place in the U.S., down from an estimated 1.29 million in 2002, 1.31 million in 2000 and 1.36 million in 1996. From 1973 through 2008, nearly 50 million legal abortions have occurred in the U.S. (AGI).

If that number is used, then in order for the ACA to "save" more lives than completely outlawing abortion would save, ObamaCare would have to save over a million babies' lives per year.

Not even the Prevaricator in Chief would make THAT absurd a claim for the ObamaCrap law.

You're assuming that banning abortions would stop abortions.

I say that makes you naive at best...
