Surely not!
The true figure is much higher. Huge numbers of abortions on young girls are recorded as other things, if at all. That the official figure was still able to go up really does illustrate just how bad things have become.
Blame the combination of economic deprivation (to which this figure is linked without deviation at international level in the Western world) and "sex education" (grooming at public expense), twin pillars of public policy continuously since 1979, long before today's teenagers were born.
It's a pregnancy figure, not a birth figure. The birth figure has not gone up.
ReplyDeleteLife begins at conception.
ReplyDeleteAnd that is when sex happens, not nine months later.
What I said is completely compatible with the belief that life begins at conception. But you said that the teen pregnancy rate is much higher than the recorded rate because of the number of abortions. I pointed out that the rate measures pregnancies, not births, and therefore includes the abortion figure (the birth rate among teenagers continues to fall). In other words, you're wrong to say that abortion makes the true figure much higher.
ReplyDeleteNo, these are two different figures. Obviously so. The pregnancy figure is up. The birth figure isn't. And that's with the figures fiddled as they are. Things really are now so bad that even that fiddling cannot entirely disguise the truth.
