Quote# 32779

Why are children aborted? The following are reasons given in percentages: 1% - victims of incest or rape, 1% - fetal abnormality, 4% - doctor said that health would worsen if pregnancy continued, 50% - didn't want to be single parent or have problems in current relationship, 60% - could not afford child, 75% - child would interfere with lives, 95% - reasons of convenience: not incest, rape, physical condition of unborn or threatened health of mother.

Gene and Earline Moody should learn that, firstly:
1 + 1 + 4 = 6%, which means it wouldn't be 95%, but 94%.
Not that it would be anyway, as:
50 + 60 + 75 =/= 95%, but in fact over 100%, which in this instance is impossible.

0.75 + 0.75 + 3.75 = 5.25

The numbers were probably asspulled, but taking into account that most of the categories are not mutually exclusive and that some rounding could've taken place, a Pi = 3 award seems a bit hasty.

okay, let's say everyone who does it for a reason you don't like is unjustified. how does that mean that the 5% who are justified should be denied abortion just because everyone else makes stupid decisions? abortion is not (legally) forced on people. feel free to try and convince 95% of people that they don't really want an abortion. but if some cases justify abortion and some do not then taking away the option to have an abortion or not, depending on whether or not the situation justifies it, is stupid.

also, I know people who's parents would kick them out of the house in a heartbeat if they told their parents they were pregnant. becoming a 15-year-old, pregnant, homeless person with a grade 10 education is the kind of thing that interferes with one's life, but that doesn't mean it's trivial.

Did you know that 99.999999% of fundie statistics are pulled out of thier ass?

And another 50% are pulled out of somebody else's ass?

What are they going to do if they can't afford it? Even if the child is relinquished, someone still has to pay for the delivery. Not talking pre-natal care here, but simple delivery. Not cheap, and the only alternative is having the child at home with no care at all. Are these people saying that poor women should just pop 'em out at home with no medical supervision then walk them to the closest drop-off point IF they both make it? Ah - let's watch those infant and maternal mortality rates skyrocket!

To be fair, just because the statistics exceed 100% doesn't make it immediately false, since it's very possible for some to have had multiple reasons.

But still, after seeing everything else these loonies have posted up, I have good reason to believe these statistics came out of their ass.

Wow, even if all of these things overlapped there's still no way these statistics add up.

What percentage are the parents retards and don't understand arithmetic?

And just like the statistics above, which are completely accurate, 100% of fundie women never have unplanned pregnancies, and 100% of fundies never disguise their daughters in scarves and sunglasses and sneak them into abortion clinics (or send them away to "visit relatives" for several years at a time).

No sir-ree. Anti-choice fundies are 100% completely perfect.





Except when they're 286% wrong!

Even if you overlap those (which I'm assuming is the case, for the sake of my sanity), the "reasons of convenience" and those that are specifically disqualified in "reasons of convenience" equal 101%.

Also, from what I've seen at all the Planned Parenthood physical sites, most abortions are scheduled only as a last resort.

In short, these people are [still] full of bullshit.
