Dude, false equivocation. The point was pregnancy doesn't = anemia. I also stubbed my toe today. Shall we compare?

Technically, saying this would also defeat the pro-life argument.

Since it is not murder but having a medical operation done as is a woman's right to her body, yes.

No person has the right to use another person's body against their will. If the woman wishes to have something living in her body against her will removed, what right has anyone to judge that decision?

Actually, I can, because this thread isn't about how you suffer oh so much and women should be forced to join you.

And since you don't care about how women suffer, why should we care about how you do?

Considering it has proven to have no actual medical benefit and does not cure what it was meant to do, and the fact it was almost solely done without patient consent, that is just another one of your false equivalencies.

See reasons above. Though I may have been wrong in that it was definitively proven not to work, it was just considered not a viable treatment for most of the ailments it claimed to.

Well, they sort of exist, that is the abortion fails to kill the fetus. That is there are those fetuses who survive the abortion and go on to be birthed.

That's unfortunate... Anyone know the rate of failure by chance?
EDIT: Found it: looks like 2.3 out of 1000 surgical abortions.

Exactly. A lobotomy has clear and scientific reasons for it's general reputation of not being okay. Abortion, not so much, hence why comparing the two is not valid. I am sure failures have happened as no procedure is free from the possibility of failure, but back-alley or illigitimate abortions done where it is not legal and regulated I am sure have much higher botch or utter failure rates.

Exactly. The sources that I found the statistic I mentioned actually mention definitely NOT taking online or non-professional deals when it comes to abortion.

And there are abortions where the foetus is meant to live... Strictly speaking, a cesarean section is an abortion )at least if it is performed prior to the due date)...

Well, in my case, it's a combination of idealism and realism.

The 'ideal' is that women should have the right to govern their own reproductive health.

The 'reality' is that if my wife got pregnant and didn't want to carry another pregnancy full-term, I'd have to have a very strange relationship with her if I wanted to force her to do so against her will.

Because I think women do have the right to decide what to do with their own body and by extension what goes on within it. Furthermore, as I am not in the possession of a womb I also do not believe I am permitted to have the audacious gall to equate pregnancy with some easily ignored form of relatively minor discomfort.
