46 million abortions are undergone every year.
That makes 126 thousand every day.
20 million abortions are obtained in countries where it is restricted or prohibited by law.
The lifetime average is one abortion per woman.

In the US:
Teenagers obtain 20%

Married women account for 18.4% of all abortions.

Catholic women account for 31.3%
Women with no religious affiliation obtain 23.7% of all abortions.
18% of all abortions are performed on women who identify themselves as "Born-again/Evangelical".

1% of all abortions occur because of rape or incest; 6% of abortions occur because of potential health problems regarding either the mother or child, and 93% of all abortions occur for social reasons (i.e. the child is unwanted or inconvenient).


alrighty, firstly, ground rules. there will be NO pro-life/pro-choice arguments under this image, understood? good. you can state your beliefs but in separate comments, i dont want anyone saying they've aborted or believe in pro-choice and then being verbally attacked by those who are pro-life. you will state your opinions in separate comments aimed at me and this image and at no one else or their comments.

now, i included the other information about the stats of the US to prove something. so many blame reckless teenagers with no morals, but teenagers only take up 20% of the numbers and 18.4% are even married. other blame godless people and claim that people of their religion would not do such things but an amazing 49.3% of those women are catholics or evangelists, they belong to the religions who are the strictest when it comes to abortion while athiests account for 23.7%. so many want abortions to be made illegal but almost half of abortions are done in countries where it is strictly prohibited. women who are desperate will do whatever they can.

as for my opinion, if a female is raped resulting in pregnancy and decides to abort, no one has any right whatsoever to judge her or call her a murderer. how dare you. as for girls who's families are not supportive, some are forced and i'm sorry for all those girls who unwillingly gave up their children. there will be NO judgment here, if you are here to violently and offensively preach your views (whether they are pro-life or pro-choice) then your comments are unwelcome. share your views, but dont force them down anyone's throught.

sigh, again with the fake preggie belly, it was even more uncomfortable to make than when i did it for Teen Pregnancy [link] seriously all that bloating hurts anyway, as for the pose - i know women dont stab themselves with scissors to abort, it's symbolic. and some women have tried other things just as menacing..we've all heard of the coat hanger..
