One in five pregnancies worldwide ends in an abortion, amounting to a significant fall compared with the mid-nineties, but nearly half these terminations still take place in unsafe conditions, a study says.
In 2003, the latest year for which full figures are available, 42 million abortions were carried out around the world, compared with 46 million in 1995, according to the paper published by The Lancet next Saturday.
For every 1,000 women aged between 15 and 44 in 2003, 29 had an abortion, down from 35 in 1997, it said.
"Overall abortion rates are similar in the developing and developed world, but unsafe abortion is concentrated in developing countries," it notes....
Good one Daniel. Yes, just saying pregant relegates the mother to just being "impregnated." Of course, logic and experience shows, if a woman is impregnated, she's now with child. Of course apostate society tries to hide this fact. But their conscience is seared by a hot iron and needs healing. There is yet time for repentance and healing, but the day will come when the Lord's grace will not be found.
The appropriate term is "with child." The word "pregnant" by itself takes away the living being. The typical meaning of the word usually describes "something developing," like a fetus.
By taking the baby out of the picture, abortion doesn't seem that bad to the murderers. Just look at the first sentence in the article: "One in five pregnancies worldwide ends in an abortion,..."
You see, the pregnancy ended in abortion. The baby wasn't killed, the process was just stopped.
The word "expecting" is no good either. Expecting a baby? No, the baby is already there.
Well, the numbers are down, but I'm not rejoicing at all. This is deplorable and is a sign of the drain of immorality into which society is being pulled or swimming toward. Reject the truth and this is the consequence. What's really sad is innocent children are paying the price with their lives.
