More than half of black children in New York are aborted. Hard to think of anything more dangerous really. Not even the black death came close (only about 30% fatal, and didn’t last as long).
The study is addressing a point sometimes raised by people on the more dishonest end of the pro-life spectrum, especially in the US: “abortion is dangerous for the mother too”.
Yes, obviously the foetus doesn’t get to be born – we all know that, that’s a much more deep-seated point about different rights and harms. But this particular study shows solely that a specific lie is, indeed, a lie.
