Pro-Life Apologetics

PRO-ABORTION ARGUMENT:
"Abortion is a safe medical procedure, safer than full-term pregnancy and childbirth."



PRO-LIFE ANSWERS:

1. Abortion is NOT safer than full-term pregnancy and childbirth.

2. Though the chances of woman's safe abortion are now greater, the number of suffering women is also greater because of the huge increase in abortions.

3. Even if abortion were safer for the mother than childbirth, it would still remain fatal for the innocent child.

4. Abortion can produce many serious medical problems.

5. The statistics on abortion complications and risks are often understated due to the inadequate means of gathering data.

6. The true risks of abortion are rarely explained to women by those who perform abortions.

** The court guarantees "freedom of choice" but denies the right to "informed choice." Abortionists can legally withhold information, or even avoid their clients' direct questions, in order to ensure that the patient will agree to an abortion which will be, they assume, "in her best intrests."

Why is there such widespread silence about the dangers of legal abortion?
Wasn't abortion legalized in order to improve health care for women rather than to encourage them to take unneccessary risks?
