    There are parts of this message board where preaching is more welcomed, although last I checked preaching remains against the rules. Perhaps those comments will be better received in one of those parts of the board.

    I am not broken. That's a meaningless phrase. I broke a chip off my right ankle bone when I was a young woman, but that's the closest I've been. I'm not interested in comparing your ethics to mine. It, too, is pointless. I'm interested in the fact that you seem to think I'm not competent to...

    If risk is not the "the" issue, then why tell that particular half-thruth? You had to know that someone was going to correct it. If your version of morality is so superior to every other on this issue then you should have no trouble selling it honestly. FYI, I don't appreciate the other...

    Yes it is. Some people think dancing is immoral. Some think drinking alcohol is. We're banging our heads against the wall with the rest. I'm never going to show you a piece of fact or data you will accept because you don't value them. But you are wrong about me. If you could present me...

    No, there's not. Because if there was, we would know it. We would SEE it. One Gosnell clinic shows up and the whole nation loses it's mind, rightly so, but no stream of them comes after. Logic. It's a thing. No, I'm not out personally doing the research. But I have zero reason to...

    The Mayo Clinic is a business. Yes. It has a marketing page. Yes. That does not mean the facts it dissiminates are questionable. That's conspiracy theorism. The same facts can be found on multiple websites. Here's where you ball up your credibility and toss it right out the window. You...

    I'm gonna go ahead and expect more than conspiratorial, baseless assumptions.

    Interesting. One assumes you'd value research and data more. I guess you do, if it's seems to be in your favor. Was interesting how you stopped reading the Mayo link when it seemed to validate your perspective.

    I'm not competent to read the research, and I'd hazard a guess that neither are you. That's why institutions like Guttmacher exist. It's always possible to use common sense and logic. Considering the number of abortions that are performed annually, if they were having this huge detrimental...

    I stand behind my assertion that there is no evidence which will convince someone who's impervious to evidence. Your judgement is valid only to you. I don't begrudge you your opinion. Sex is normal, though. It's your moralization that makes it dirty.

    You should have kept reading (emphasis mine). "Rarely, a surgical abortion can damage the cervix or uterus. In such cases, surgery might be needed to correct the damage before a woman can conceive again. Also, rarely the cervix can be weakened, leading to the potential for the cervix to open...

    Abortion

    I didn't say my mom made any claim. I thought we were just trading parental job information, as it has no other possible relevance in a discussion where facts are present. My "claim" came from the Mayo Clinic, which is a highly respected institute and also which happens to be non-profit, and...

    I'm not going to argue that, I can't. Because for those who don't value evidence, there is no evidence which can be presented such a person will value. Guttmacher Institute: Advancing Sexual and Reproductive Health Worldwide through RESEARCH, Policy Analysis and Public Education...

    The link I posted is from the Mayo Clinic. Abortion carries a 0.5% risk of complication to a woman. Because no medical procedure is 100% safe, any complication can have future ramifications, but 0.5% rate of complication is well beyond "pretty low". Outpatient colonoscopy, which is performed...

    Thank you. Accepted.
