It illustrates that the "life of the mother" argument is rare to the point of irrelevance. *NM* HyogaRott Send a noteboard - 18/11/2012 07:45:36 PM
Ask yourself if a) that is significantly different given the sample size difference and b) if that difference is down to the difference in laws.

this is so terribly sad. keeping abortions legal is important. *NM* temeraire - 14/11/2012 07:09:00 PM 279 Views
Well, I guess to expedite the process of argument and counter-argument, I'll post an article an Stephen - 14/11/2012 07:28:01 PM 668 Views
you're right, i should have posted the actual article instead of an editorial. thanks! moondog - 14/11/2012 08:14:42 PM 798 Views
so terrible... i will never understand how this crap is considered "pro-life." *NM* wolfsister - 15/11/2012 01:15:56 AM 370 Views
I consider myself pro-life, and I completely agree with you. Aemon - 15/11/2012 05:45:41 AM 712 Views
Maybe this is more a testament to the quality of care in that hospital than an arguemnt for abortion *NM* HyogaRott - 15/11/2012 01:49:00 PM 296 Views
Can you elaborate? Aeryn - 16/11/2012 04:07:48 PM 575 Views
Do you have access to her medical charts? HyogaRott - 16/11/2012 08:44:45 PM 584 Views
The infection was from the fetus inside of her. That is not disputed. Aeryn - 16/11/2012 10:14:52 PM 532 Views
This wasn't pro-life, but more a case of anti-thinking Jeordam - 15/11/2012 06:28:55 PM 604 Views
but the pro-life (or anti-abortion) argument was the reason they gave for not allowing an abortion moondog - 15/11/2012 10:00:14 PM 683 Views
Once you know for certain that the mother is dying, it is too late. Aeryn - 16/11/2012 04:11:25 PM 581 Views
Statistically speaking... HyogaRott - 15/11/2012 07:03:51 PM 601 Views
Where did you get your statistics from? TheCrownless - 15/11/2012 09:19:29 PM 844 Views
Psst. Nate - 15/11/2012 09:43:35 PM 627 Views
I'm pretty sure his 0.3% figure comes from TheCrownless - 15/11/2012 10:01:29 PM 551 Views
That would certainly change the difference between the numbers. Nate - 15/11/2012 10:07:42 PM 607 Views

Where's the due process? Cannoli - 15/11/2012 11:35:39 PM 661 Views
First, prove that the fetus is a "ONE". Aeryn - 16/11/2012 04:14:34 PM 548 Views
That argument is specious HyogaRott - 16/11/2012 08:36:07 PM 555 Views
But you cannot call another living person an "environment." Only for parasites. Aeryn - 16/11/2012 10:16:18 PM 523 Views
Yes I can, look up the word environment HyogaRott - 17/11/2012 11:49:55 AM 661 Views
No, I do not accept the risk of pregnancy. Aeryn - 20/11/2012 01:41:07 PM 542 Views

well said Yunalesca - 20/11/2012 05:27:11 PM 637 Views
I agree, but it does not matter. HyogaRott - 16/11/2012 08:26:17 PM 530 Views
Win some, lose some Cannoli - 15/11/2012 11:29:32 PM 697 Views
In other words, if you don't want to die, become a lesbian. *NM* Aeryn - 16/11/2012 04:16:23 PM 290 Views
stop calling women whores Yunalesca - 16/11/2012 04:55:49 PM 627 Views
Some facts for you - from the article Stephen linked in his reply above, and from general knowledge. Rebekah - 16/11/2012 09:38:32 PM 669 Views
That is the most rational argument put forth thus far, HOWEVER HyogaRott - 17/11/2012 07:06:58 PM 594 Views
Wow. Legolas - 17/11/2012 07:28:23 PM 624 Views
Nah, I don't *try* to insult anyone (most of the time) , though I seem to do so fairly regularly. *NM* HyogaRott - 18/11/2012 07:41:43 PM 296 Views
Re: That is the most rational argument put forth thus far, HOWEVER Dan - 17/11/2012 08:07:19 PM 719 Views
Nice decision to turn to insults. Print out your post and let it join your head, up your ass. HyogaRott - 18/11/2012 07:50:18 PM 624 Views
The difference between Ireland and the UK is about 0.006% TheCrownless - 17/11/2012 08:31:45 PM 652 Views
It illustrates that the "life of the mother" argument is rare to the point of irrelevance. *NM* HyogaRott - 18/11/2012 07:45:36 PM 287 Views
And yet this case makes it irrefutably relevant. *NM* Stephen - 20/11/2012 05:18:23 PM 268 Views
No, it really does not. Because the situation is so rare as to not be worth even discussing... HyogaRott - 21/11/2012 03:24:01 PM 548 Views
In your opinion - in mine, and I suspect others here, it is not. snoopcester - 22/11/2012 12:03:20 AM 601 Views
I am not debating opinion, you can't debate opinion, I am trying to point out facts. HyogaRott - 22/11/2012 05:29:24 PM 535 Views
