Hi oni,

Then they are wrong. Also, please provide the link, as I did.
In any case, the CDC trumps whatever is said on AGI since they are the official government entity that works specifically to gather the numbers.
The CDC does not gather information. It is voluntarly sent to them.
AGI collects information many ways..
You can find their facts

You can find their statement

Yes, so then ask yourself at that point, how on earth could AGI have those extra numbers if they weren't reported to the CDC? That's a load of crap. Perhaps they're just making crap up?
You can find how they gather information for the US on
this page.
For Puerto Rico7 and the United States,8 data collected through surveys of all providers were used; the U.S. estimate for 2000 was projected to 2003.

No one is making the choice to die of starvation or malnutrition, those people need help -vs- an adult who makes an actual legal choice concerning their own body.
Well their parents chose for them by having unprotected sex and producing them in the first place. Even though the undeveloped world produces the majority of abortions.

And yet pro-life people are only concerned in controlling the 820,000 that take place in the US. You're all a bunch of self-righteous hypocrites.
Get that tree off your shoulder, and quit jumping to conclusion about what I believe. You should know by know that ICANT be like other people.
For your enlightenment.

Message 15 posted March 2007, I made this statement in a post to AnswersInGenitals.
If those against abortion are correct that the fetus becomes a person with a soul at conception that would mean that 12.5 million souls would go to heaven to be with God. That would leave the 4 million souls to grow up and have to make a decision where they would spend eternity. That would mean God has reaped a harvest of over 75% of the possible souls born in the U.S in a year. So why fuss?
AnswersInGenitals has said:
quote:
in the U. S., there are 16.5 million conceptions each year of which 11 million abort naturally (miscarriages), 1.5 are aborted clinically, and 4 million result in live births.
As you can imagine I get a lot of flack from pro-lifers because of my view of abortion.

Maybe you can take up the question of when the soul arrives
My definition is that when the spermatozoan, and the ovum unite in a process called fertilization, and form a zygote a human exists.
The spermatozoan is live cells as is the ovum but alone they cannot produce a human. But when combined they are a complete human.
I know you and everyone else will disagree but I can't help that. You did ask me to take up the question.

There is no consistency from your side of the argument.
That is an understatement when you consider my position on abortion.
God gets everyone aborted.
Of those born He may get 4% but I think that estimate might be a little high.
God Bless,
