Ok..again, please show me verification that the stats are 15 years out of date, and where to get more accurate numbers? Since these come straight from PP?
Not that you've shown they're 15 years out. But do go on .
And please show where you've gotten the stat that 48 percent of all partial birth abortions are performed to save the mother. You keep dodging that, as well.
Loon.
do your own research, after you have taken a course in statistical analysis.
Google "partial birth abortions", and look for actual statistics, "threats to life of mother", statistics from 2000 and on. 49-50% were done because of a threat to the life of the mother, (of 2% of all abortions) so about 1% were because the life of the child was one of extreme suffering if viable out of womb. Try to do some honest research, and not rely upon 1990 worldwide statistics, stick with the USA, since you probably live here.
Be sure you have a degree in medicine first, know how the internal workings of a woman's body work when pregnant, and are an OB-GYN, so you know all the complications of pregnancy. Absent that, why would you consider yourself an "expert" on other women's lives?
'Partial-Birth Abortion:' Separating Fact from Spin : NPR
"But "partial-birth" is not a medical term. It's a political one, and a highly confusing one at that, with both sides disagreeing even on how many procedures take place, at what point in pregnancy, and exactly which procedures the law actually bans.
So to better understand the facts behind the controversy, we asked NPR health correspondent Julie Rovner to explain the origins of both the name and the procedure.
Where does the term "partial-birth" abortion come from?
The term was first coined by the National Right to Life Committee (NRLC) in 1995 to describe a recently introduced medical procedure to remove fetuses from the womb. Alternately known as "dilation and extraction," or D&X, and "intact D&E," it involves removing the fetus intact by dilating a pregnant woman's cervix, then pulling the entire body out through the birth canal."
"Dilation and extraction abortions- an estimated total of 31 providers performed the procedure 2,200 times in 2000, and 0.17% of all abortions performed in that year used this method. "
