What the pro-aborts refer to as "reproductive choice" turns out to be deadly not just for the babies, but also for their mothers:
(NEW YORK – C-FAM) The world's largest abortion provider, International Planned Parenthood Federation (IPPF), has recently acknowledged an alarming "surge" in maternal deaths in South Africa, challenging the pro-abortion mantra that liberal abortion laws decrease maternal mortality. Maternal deaths increased by twenty per cent in the period 2005-2007 in South Africa, a country that since 1996 has had one of the most permissive abortion laws on the African continent.
While deaths attributable to HIV/AIDS account for the biggest portion of maternal deaths in South Africa, IPPF acknowledges that a portion of deaths are "due to complications of abortion" in a country where the procedure is legal and widely available.
And in case the pro-aborts try to scare us with their claims about back-alley abortions, let's remind them that
90% of those back-alley abortions were performed by trained physicians (basically - by the same people that perform them nowadays) and that the back-alley abortion death statistics that they use is fabricated. The real numbers are in fact several orders of magnitude lower:
We persuaded the media that the cause of permissive abortion was a liberal enlightened, sophisticated one. Knowing that if a true poll were taken, we would be soundly defeated, we simply fabricated the results of fictional polls. We announced to the media that we had taken polls and that 60% of Americans were in favour of permissive abortion. This is the tactic of the self-fulfilling lie. Few people care to be in the minority.
We aroused enough sympathy to sell our program of permissive abortion by fabricating the number of illegal abortions done annually in the U.S. The actual figure was approaching 100,000 but the figure we gave to the media repeatedly was 1,000,000. Repeating the big lie often enough convinces the public. The number of women dying from illegal abortions was around 200 - 250 annually. The figure constantly fed to the media was 10,000. These false figures took root in the consciousness of Americans convincing many that we needed to crack the abortion law. Another myth we fed to the public through the media was that legalizing abortion would only mean that the abortions taking place illegally would then be done legally. In fact, of course, abortion is now being used as a primary method of birth control in the U.S. and the annual number of abortions has increased by 1500% since legalization.
This manipulation with statistic hasn't stopped; even now some radical pro-aborts keep claiming that
12,000 women died each year from illegal abortions in Canada alone. While in reality, the
average number of deaths each year, attributable to illegal abortions was... 16. All of those illegal abortions were performed in doctors' offices under medical supervision. Current death toll from Canada's 100,000 abortions a year is higher than it used to be back then.
