    Oh, so the mother’s die every time?

    Even under your bad definition it’d be only 50-60% (accounting for the fact that some mothers do die)

        You can’t have a higher than 100% death rate, that means more people died than were involved in what happened

        By reasonable definition that’s 1 death: the mother

        By your own poor definition it’s 2: mother and fetus

        So where are we getting extra from?

          The fundamental core issue is: do we count the foetus as a life? If so, there’s no such thing as a “safe abortion”

            We do not, simple as, because it’s not

            That wouldn’t magically change the death rate, though, which was my point, don’t change the subject. If you’re not smart enough to understand basic math I’m not sure we should even pretend to respect your opinions on things more complicated than that, like basic science

              Science points to a foetus being a life- whether or not we value that life is a philosophical, moral and ethical issue. Biological, Physical and Chemical science isn’t the answer to everything.

                Science points to a foetus being a life

                No, science absolutely does not point to a fetus being “a life”

                Biological, Physical and Chemical science isn’t the answer to everything.

                True, but when you clearly don’t understand them at all (as you proved with your laughable statement in that very comment) then you also don’t have the answer, as they’re relevant to the discussion

                    fetus, it’s weird that you insist on the incorrect spelling

                    Something having cells does not make it “a life”, or else cancer cells are equally as alive as you and I and also can’t be removed without that being murder
