Igboid:illegalization of hard drugs hasn't stopped illegal drug peddling either but that still isn't enough reason to legalize it. You are so bothered about the well being of the woman you don't give a fuuuckk about the innocent baby. Someone's gotta fight for these babies too. Get used to that. 3 Likes |

KevinDein: You obviously don't know what these young women who are victims of criminal abortions go through,or what they have to forfeit in life to take care of an unwanted child, I do. And I believe they deserve the option of standard medical gestation termination, the option to have their life back or to sacrifice it for the welfare of a baby. Your interest is on the baby, mine is on the mother, she should have all the options available and open to her, after all her future and Her life is at stake. I would not have hypocritical men take any of those options away from her, since they are not going to be the ones to bear the blunt of the final outcome of such options. 2 Likes 1 Share |

Osyabj: Dont mind the ignorant people making comments here. First, the thing is not a law but a presidential policy referred to as Mexican city policy Secondly, since it was introduced by Reagan in 1985, democrats presidents had always repealed it while the republican presidents had traditionally re-instate it. Thus it was repealed by Clinton in 1993, bush reinstated it in 2001, obama repealed it in 2009 and trump has now reinstated it. US laws have always and still ban direct funding of abortion even during the time that the Mexican-city policy was repealed. The effect of the policy is that international NGOs that have abortion as part of its activities cannot access funding by USAID even for their other activities but during the tenure of democrats when the policy was suspended, such NGOs could access government funding but must only be used for non-abortion activities. 2 Likes |

Sorry, that study is not credible because it was not an idependent study but a stuff sponsored by pro-right/choice affiliate group. But even if we decide to accept it as credible it still won't fly. Here's a quote from the report: The evidence indicates that access to good healthcare and modern contraception are the most important factors in reducing abortion rates, says Gilda Sedgh, the study’s lead author and a researcher at the Guttmacher Institute, a US organisation that aims to advance sexual and reproductive rights. Two things at stake here. 1. Acess to better healthcare and contraceptives (NOT legalization of abortion) reduce the rate of abortion in the developed countries. 2. Criminalization of abortion kept the rate of abortion static (DID NOT INCREASE IT) in the developing countries where there is little or no access to good healrhcare and enough education /awareness on contraception. So can you give me a better source. Igboid: |
Re: Donald Trump Revokes U.S Pro-Abortion Law by Igboid: 2:07pm On Jan 24, 2017 |
pchukwudi: Yet you failed to mention the part, where it was stated that Abortion rate had declined in developed countries from 35 in 1000 to 25 in 1000, ie less than those of the developing country that remained static at 37 in 1000, so obviously, legalizing abortion doesn't increase abortion rate, it only decreases maternal mortality rate, by enabling the mothers to have access to quality abortion health care. See this quote too: “The obvious interpretation is that criminalising abortion does not prevent it, but rather drives women to seek illegal services or methods.” Diana Greene Foster, University of California |

The ignorance on this thread is pretty alarming. You ask questions before just jumping into a talk. If you don't have an idea about something. Fucking keep shut. He is defunding planned parenthood and other alied charities that are focused on reproductive health services for men, women and children. If you don't have an idea, that's like defunding USAID and Society for family health. Forget the abortion word. 97% of funds coming for planned parenthood are used in testing people free of charge or at a subsidised amount for STDs, counselling and helping rape victims. Also they do offer contraceptove materials like condoms, female birth prevention pills and a whole lott more than just having a safe space for people who want abortion. What this means in essence that millions that need these services are cut off from it. Imagine a teenager who was raped. They are much more comfortable going to planned parenthood because they are well protected and don't need to pay anything to be treated instead of the other way round where they are asked to present their parents id before they can be treated and most times the costs are prohibitive so most just keep shut and never seek help. Also most can't bare such stigma of their families knowing about their ordeals and you just closed the door of them seeking help. If anything Trump and his minnions here are no different from religious bigots who force their own belief systems on others just because they don't understand the basics of something. 2 Likes 1 Share |

Bros, you know better than this back and forth. USA: 25 in 1000 ( inspite of the easy access to MASSIVE healtcare and contraception), this usually translates to: In the USA, where nearly half of pregnancies are unintended and four in 10 of these are terminated by abortion [1] , there are over 3,000 abortions per day. Twenty-two percent of all pregnancies in the USA (excluding miscarriages) end in abortion. [2] http://www.worldometers.info/abortions/ No wonder the CDC has not released any new data on abortion rate since 2013. Now compare that to the UNVERIFIABLE claim (due to unavailability of data), of 37 in 1000 for the developing coutries (WITHOUT good healthcare and contraception). Fact: Criminalize abortion, enforce the law, and provide adequate healrhcare facilities and effective contraception, and you will see abortion rate crash like a pack of sand. Igboid: |

pchukwudi: Abortion data in Africa is under reported due to the criminal nature and poor data keeping of the whole thing. This is what we know: “We now have a global picture of induced abortion in the world, covering both countries where it is legal and countries where laws are very restrictive,” Dr. Paul Van Look, director of the W.H.O. Department of Reproductive Health and Research, said in a telephone interview. “What we see is that the law does not influence a woman’s decision to have an abortion. If there’s an unplanned pregnancy, it does not matter if the law is restrictive or liberal.” With legalized abortion, this is what we get: "Some countries, like South Africa, have undergone substantial transitions in abortion laws in that time. The procedure was made legal in South Africa in 1996, leading to a 90 percent decrease in mortality among women who had abortions, some studies have found. Abortion is illegal in most of Africa, though. It is the second-leading cause of death among women admitted to hospitals in Ethiopia, its Health Ministry has said. It is the cause of 13 percent of maternal deaths at hospitals in Nigeria, recent studies have found". https://mobile.nytimes.com/2007/10/12/world/12abortion.html |

It is rather better to be proactive than to reactive. what do I mean? If you must have a willing less when you do not want a baby, what stops you from using contraceptives? On the other hand of rape victims, instead of aborting the baby due to the negative feelings that may come with it, that is where attitude makes a great deal. There is always a greener side in every leaf, so the attitude matter. I really don't see any reason what soever why abortion should be legalized in any form, irrespective of the cause of the pregnancy. Even if you were raped and you don't want to keep the baby, there are motherless babies home and other such bodies. |
