Unsafe abortions kill 70,000 women a year
http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/5886985/

LONDON - Nearly 70,000 women, almost half of them in Asia, die from unsafe abortions each year despite government pledges made a decade ago to improve human rights and reproductive health, researchers said Wednesday.

...

“We have figures that 40 women every minute undergo an unsafe abortion and 200 are dying every day. The real message is that these deaths and disabilities from unsafe abortion are preventable,” Maguire said.

1. I'm a loser to reply to my own thread, but...
I just wanted to know why the hell anyone would want to have this start happening in America.

3. Ask George how it happened pre RV Wade 1970?
Edited on Wed Sep-01-04 01:37 PM by Rambis
When I said that we had the proof, I am referring to knowing who the girl was, knowing who the doctor was that pereformed the abortion, evidence from girlfriends of hers at the time, who knew about the romance and the subsequent abortion. The young lady does not want to go public, and without her willingness, we don't feel that we're on solid enough legal ground to go with the story, because should she say it never happened, then we've got a potential libel suit. But we know we have enough evidence that we believe completely. One of the things that interested us was that this abortion took place before Roe Vs. Wade in 1970, which made it a crime at the time. I'd just like the national media to ask him if abortion is okay for him and his family, but not for the rest of America. We're not looking at it as a big issue, we're looking at it as a situation of people not being told the truth. I think the American people have a right to know everything there is to know about someone running for President.

2. And this is exactly what the right-wingers want to happen
in America. Sometimes I think it's their way of getting rid of what they think is "trash". This is why the government should never make a law against abortion.
