This is in response to Marty E, Busto1960 and others who insist on imposing their religious ban on abortions. Giving Islam as an example occurring before the abortion ban was instituted by radical Christianity is historically wrong. Islam is another example of a radical religion which incorporates both Christian and Jewish religions, mostly distorted to fit the prophet Mohammad's new religion which he tried to impose on both Christians and Jews. Those three religions are all male dominated and therefore treat women as possessions. The article cited by one of you regarding statistics on abortions with reference to the Guttmacher data, distorted those to suit the pr0-life agenda. Please read the Planned Parenthood pdf that I posted before this post and see for yourselves that pregnancies while life threatening in 1% of cases, do threaten the general health of women suffering from many other health problems. About 92% of abortions happen in the first trimester. Please mind your business.
