Safe legal abortions - a convenient lie

One more abortion lie unmasked

As I have said the whole pro-abortion movement which from about the 1960's made it socially acceptable to kill our unborn children and almost blasphemous to say otherwise was based on lies and propaganda.

The very idea that somehow women were being “liberated” by being cajoled into thinking that an act that God regards as murder was no sin at all is nothing short of diabolical.

Churches, who had a responsibility to warn against sin, must bear the greatest responsibility. Society at large must bear the rest. That is you and me. We stayed silent while the moral fibre of our society was being whittled away.

One lie about abortion is still trotted out almost whenever anyone dares question our current social mores. It is this:

“Women will die if they are denied safe legal abortions”.

No! They won't.

And the answer is black and white! And once again comes from statistics. This time statistics anyone can access.

As part of my researches in 1990 I read an extract from a U.K. Government statistical service report entitled ‘1983 Abortion Statistics, England & Wales’

Take two periods since abortion was legalised in England and Wales.

In 1969 there were 54,157 legal abortions, and 15 women died following abortion.

Just 14 years later, in 1983 there were 162,161 legal abortions, and only 1 woman died.

Remember in both these years abortion was legal.

So making abortions legal had nothing to do with making them “safe” (for the mother that is – the baby always dies!)

In fact if we go back to the early1800's in America, abortions were legal, but the means used were almost as likely to kill the woman as end the pregnancy.

What reduced the proportion of women dying undergoing abortions was simply advances in medicine – particularly modern antibiotics.

Until we enter another dark age where modern medicine is lost and antibiotics fail to keep pace with the evolution of pathogens, abortions will continue to be as safe as they are at present for women who undergo them regardless of whether they are legal or illegal.
