    Those two examples are wildly different from eachother. One is a medical procedure involving theoretical children, and the other has real kids getting injured and killed.

    Edit: wanted to add that the medical procedure is always to prevent a major health issue when being funded by state taxes.

      Whenever the israelis bomb the buildings, they don’t know for certain there are kids in there. They are just theoretical kids in the moment to them.

        More like, Schrodinger’s kids. I genuinely hope you find peace and learn to not let being pro-birth justify letting others suffer and/or die. Red tape and bans kill when it comes to healthcare, without solving anything.

          A successful abortion always has at least a 100% fatality rate.

            Why does that matter? If the fetus cannot survive outside the womb due to genetic defects, why would I care about that when I could care about the health of the mother?

            Oh, so the mother’s die every time?

            Even under your bad definition it’d be only 50-60% (accounting for the fact that some mothers do die)

                You can’t have a higher than 100% death rate, that means more people died than were involved in what happened

                By reasonable definition that’s 1 death: the mother

                By your own poor definition it’s 2: mother and fetus

                So where are we getting extra from?

                  The fundamental core issue is: do we count the foetus as a life? If so, there’s no such thing as a “safe abortion”

                    We do not, simple as, because it’s not

                    That wouldn’t magically change the death rate, though, which was my point, don’t change the subject. If you’re not smart enough to understand basic math I’m not sure we should even pretend to respect your opinions on things more complicated than that, like basic science
