    Well, it isn’t comparable, because abortion prevents forced birth, and forced birth is a form of torture. As indeed is being forced to care for a child in poverty.

    Fun fact, abortion also prevents infanticide. Prolifers either don’t realise how pragmatic humans are, or are really into killing actual babies.

      There are many horrible examples from 20th century Ireland - as well as stillbirths or accidental deaths. Several are mentioned in the “Letters to Ann” radio documentary, based on correspondence received by a popular Irish radio programme in the early 80s.

      I think there have been large scale longitudinal studies in the US that recorded a drop in infanticide in states with legal abortion - of course this boyo doesn’t mention any studies like that, even to criticize them. because this is a plain ol’ anti-abortion polemic, not a literature review - all the sources and statistics are there for purely cosmetic purposes.
