Habibi,

In your posts, all you have mentioned are abortions due to rape or the mother's health. Here is some scienitific data for you (Source: Torres and Forrest, 1988)

Inadequate finances 21%
Not ready for responsibility 21%
Woman’s life would be changed too much 16%
Problems with relationship; unmarried 12%
Too young; not mature enough 11%
Children are grown; woman has all she wants 8%
Fetus has possible health problem 3%
Woman has health problem 3%
Pregnancy caused by rape, incest 1%
Other 4%
Average number of reasons given 3.7

As you can see, according to Torres and Forrest, the combined percentage for abortions resulting from rape or health issues (to mother or baby) is a mere 8%.

Would you support a law which prohibits abortions in any case other than those of rape and health issues?
