Abortion: Deaths
built 231 days ago
In showing the foreseeable abortion deaths from cigarettes, remember, the DiFranza-Lew study is only one of many. Multiple other studies have shown more such facts. But theirs is current and its conclusions are written in lay-friendly terms. Dr. DiFranza has elsewhere made clear his desire to stop the deaths.
Anti-abortion legislation is based upon the acceptance, on faith, of supernatural entities called "souls". These "souls" should not be confused with the "psyche" studied by psychologists and treated by psychiatrists. The psyche (Greek for "soul" or "breath") is both mortal and destructible, aware of the reality of death and of its own extinction, and subject to fragmentation, or division, as in "multiple personality disorder". The "soul", by contrast, is immortal, indivisible, and indestructible.
An abortion is the removal or expulsion of an embryo or fetus from the uterus, resulting in or caused by its death. The spontaneous expulsion of a fetus or embryo before the 20th week is commonly known as a miscarriage. [1] Induced abortion is the removal or expulsion of an embryo or fetus by medical, surgical, or other means at any point during human pregnancy for therapeutic or elective reasons.[2] The approximate number of induced abortions performed worldwide in 2003 was 42 million.[3]
Since then, of course, many more studies on the total subject of tobacco, abortion, and infant death, have been made. Here is a partial list, after which an overview follows, then a call to action.
