"Abortion Facts"

http://www.conservapedia.com/Abortion_Facts

We are gathered here today to see the extreme bias that is Conservapedia. Every article is from a Christian standpoint- is that not biased to you? Maybe not if you're a Christian.

Let's start off by proving these facts wrong.

"Over 148 babies are aborted every hour in the United States."
Change "babies" with embryo, fetus, zygote, etc., and we have a deal.
"Abortion is the leading cause of death in the United States."
I doubt it, even if it was murder.
"Abortion is the leading cause of death in Spain."
See above.
""3 Weeks after Fertilization: The eyes and spinal cord are visible and the developing brain has two lobes"."
This one isn't sourced by Conservapedia. It is not credible.
""fetus: the unborn offspring in the postembryonic period, after major structures have been outlined, in humans from nine weeks after fertilization until birth." Dorland's Illustrated Medical Dictionary. "
Okay.. Seems viable to me.

Now that we have that established, let's go on to the 10 arguments..

1. Since life begins at conception, abortion is akin to murder as it is the act of taking human life. Abortion is in direct defiance of the commonly accepted idea of the sanctity of human life

Life beginning at conception is an opinion. Opinions are best left out of life/death matters.

2. No civilized society permits one human to intentionally harm or take the life of another human without punishment, and abortion is no different.

Abortion is legal, murder is not. Point invalid.

3. Adoption is a viable alternative to abortion and accomplishes the same result. And with 1.5 million American families wanting to adopt a child, there is no such thing as an unwanted child.

Adoption can cause developmental problems in some children. There are no actions without effects.

4. An abortion can result in medical complications later in life; the risk of ectopic pregnancies doubles, and the chance of a miscarriage and Pelvic Inflammatory Disease also increases.

Is this sourced? No.

5. In the instance of rape and incest, proper medical care can ensure that a woman will not get pregnant. Abortion punishes the unborn child who committed no crime; instead, it is the perpetrator who should be punished.

So.. The female was just as much a part of the pregnancy as the male.. So she should be punished as well. Right.

6. Abortion should not be used as another form of contraception.

Not an argument against it. I agree with this. Abortions are for emergencies, not forgetting to use a condom.

7. For women who demand complete control of their body, control should include preventing the risk of unwanted pregnancy through the responsible use of contraception or, if that is not possible, through abstinence.

It should also include right to abortion. That's taking away a woman's rights, which you claim to replace by contraceptives. Nothing is 100% guaranteed, and abstinence is just a way out of sex education.

8. Many Americans who pay taxes are opposed to abortion, therefore it's morally wrong to use tax dollars to fund abortion.

Many Americans who pay taxes support abortion, therefore it's morally correct to use tax dollars to fund abortion.

9. Those who choose abortions are often minors or young women with insufficient life experience to understand fully what they are doing. Many have lifelong regrets afterwards.

Many? Some might. Others might not.

10. Abortion frequently causes intense psychological pain and stress.

It can, but it is not guaranteed.

I'm done for now. Conservapedia is full of right-wing narrow-minded Christians.
