An 11-year-old girl in Ohio was allegedly raped by a 26-year-old
multiple times, leaving her pregnant, according to police reports. A
state law passed in April, but not yet in effect, says that victims like her won't have a choice to have an abortion -- they would have to carry
and deliver their rapist's child.
The law prohibits women from obtaining an abortion after a fetal
heartbeat is detected, about five or six weeks into a pregnancy, before most women even know that they're pregnant.
The law provides no exceptions for rape or incest.

that's not a "boy" by any standard ;) is he a male? sure... is he a man? that's questionable...

IMHO, the main feature of a Cesarean section is that everything is under full control during the operation. Actually, this operation a nice candidate for future robotic operations.
But there is statistics that speaks of steady increasing of the number

No, not in the first place. My point would be then, that changing
your laws does not primarily change facts (i.e., lower the number
of abortions),
but rather just increases inequality between
people with and without money... which is not what people usually

Guess what? That is CORRECT. The world *IS* unfair, and not
everybody is "equal". Yep. Truth.
And these days laws are usually made to overcome this, not to put unfairness and inequality into stone, aren't they?
However, you brought up that topic (glad you did, though), but I
was actually thinking about different things. However, I'll have
to tell a bit about my family to explain:
My grandmother became a children's nurse during WWII, working in
a makeshift children's hospital most of the time. After the war,
she was so fed up with working in a hospital that she went into
schooling again and became a midwife. Believe me, you wouldn't
have wanted to hear her wartime stories, nor about what desperate
people do to their newly born unwanted children, or how they try
to abort pregnancies without proper medical aid available. If you
did, you'd know that making abortions illegal again is nothing
you'd really want.
If you want to lower the number of abortions, you don't need to
change "too liberal" abortion laws. This will just drive people
who can afford out of the country and people who cannot afford
into solutions nobody wants. Can you imagine people doing an
abortion just "for the fun" in it, or just because "they can"?
What you'll need to do is pretty obvious:
- educate people
- make contraceptives easily available
- make baby hatches easily available
No, not in the first place. My point would be then, that changing
your laws does not primarily change facts (i.e., lower the number
of abortions),
I believe that it would (lower the number of abortions).
but rather just increases inequality between
people with and without money... which is not what people usually
will tell you the new laws are made for.
I don't think it would measureably cause that.
And these days laws are usually made to overcome this, not to put
unfairness and inequality into stone, aren't they?
No, I would not agree that laws are usually made to overcome
inequality.
They are made for whatever the perceived need is, not
directly to reduce inequality. For example, a new law regarding
the property tax rate in a county is not directed at reducing
inequality.
I know that atrocities exist and happen. No amount of legislating
is going to stop that.
If you want to lower the number of abortions, you don't need to
change "too liberal" abortion laws. This will just drive people
who can afford out of the country and people who cannot afford
into solutions nobody wants. Can you imagine people doing an
abortion just "for the fun" in it, or just because "they can"?
Could you please help convince other liberals, using that *EXACT*
logic, that changing "too liberal" firearm laws is not going to solve/change the gun-violence problems? The bottom line is this: Criminals don't follow laws, and will do what they're going to do regardless of what the law says.
I think education is already there/available. If we need more,
use the funds currently going to Planned Parenthood that are used
to kill babies. Isn't education one of PP's intended functions?
Same logic applies to contraceptives. Let PP hand them out, using
the money saved by NOT doing abortions. Simple!
I'm not sure what a "baby hatch" is.
No? So who is having abortions these days in the US? All wealthy people
who could also go abroad?
Last year there were officially 3.853.472 babies born there and ultra right-wing anti-abortion groups claiming some 320.000 abortions.
Less than 10%? What the heck are they talking about, then?
Also they're harping about late term abortions as if that is the most common thing, like 4-5 months which is ridiculous. It is very very
very uncommon and under strict medical rules.
What they do have a point in is that certain very-low income classes
of people cannot afford contraception and abortion then becomes a way
of birth control for a specific category.
These people should be helped in a different way, "before" the girls
get pregnant to avoid the pregnancy altogether ...

Abortion numbers in the USA is a grossly misrepresented subject.

My daughter who runs the delivery room in a major hospital here
(Belgium) and quite familiar with US situations confirms the
abortion numbers presented there are totally absurd.

It's politically overhyped ... and religeously as well.

is like talking to a stone wall.
Yeah.... what's 640,000 murders in a year? No big deal, right?
You're wrong on that. In addition, there are multiple states in
the USA where abortion is legal for the duration of a pregnancy,
in other words, up to the 9-month+ point. You think that is fine
too?
Oh, and did you know that there is a form of contraception which costs......... NOTHING? Yep. It's true.

Numbers, please. Names and sources.
A quick google check (of non-"ultra-right-wing" websites) shows
the number to be roughly 640,000. Twice what you said. What a
surprise.

Look it up yourself, it's easily verified.
Don't bother responding.

Don't bother responding. Your selective quoting/snipping, and
cherry picking sentences so as to better suit your point/agenda
has grown tiresome. You're now in the same "ignore" category as
the whacko Lofaso. Buh-bye.

So your claim has no proof, and you're weaseling out. Thank you, Sir, no further questions necessary.

Dan doesn't like to communicate with those who disagree with him - he can never win a debate, so he sticks his head in the sand.

I know those numbers and they simply cannot be correct, even if
reported by the CDC.
First you need to decide what you're talking about. A miscarriage
is also an aborted pregnancy, emergency "behind the fact"
contraception may also be listed as an abortion ... maybe there
wasn't even conception ... start throwing all these things
together and you get impressive false numbers.

..And then there were three. (In the "ignore" bin).
