Doesn't matter how you stand on the debate, this is a pretty shocking statistic.

Wow, that's horrible. I don't see how anyone can support making abortion illegal after reading something like that.

Because if its illegal people don't do it, just like illegal aliens can't carry infectious diseases because they're illegal. DUH

If you'd like a philosopher's take, there's a Sartre novel that features a story arc about trying to get an illegal abortion.

Coming from someone who personally stands against abortion, I still feel the same way you do. Simply outlawing it in these developing countries is a recipe for disaster. With this on top of the HIV epidemic, we need to step up the game immediately.

Yes, it's my cynical self. During the health care debates, there was a moment where someone rabbled that illegals don't need health care because they can't carry diseases...because they're illegal.

Don't try to understand it. You'll hurt yourself.

Personally, I believe that a "war" or anything will ultimately create more of what the war was designed to fight. And a more invidious version of it to boot.

War on drugs. War on AIDs. War on poverty.

I agree. Thoughts held in mind produce after their kind. We need to focus on the opposites of these "wars." i.e. peace, health, abundance etc...
