No what you did post was stats showing that the rate was almost identical between developed countries and non-developed count

And there was this:

The death rate associated with abortion is hundreds of times higher in developing regions, where the procedure is often illegal, than in developed countries (Table 1). The rate is highest--almost 700 deaths per 100,000 procedures--in Africa. Since well-off women in cities are frequently able to obtain safe abortions even when it is against the law, the majority of deaths and complications from abortion occur among low-income women and women living in rural areas who undergo unsafe, illicit procedures.

You know very well I cannot copy charts onto SI. But I did post you links with the info and the charts showing what you already know without any reasearch--that the developed nations are all abortion legal--and I am going to do it one last time.

For the next URL, I am including the bibliography, not to suggest that this is what needs to recommend it to you as true--but in order to contrast it with the links you are getting your "true confessions" from. The bibliography shows that the author did not just MAKE STUFF UP.

Anyway, I honestly don't believe that you have the slightest interest in the facts, and I am wasting my time. You apparently think the social policy that has developed over the world spring from some mischivious plot rather than from the needs and injustices of human beings.

I honestly believe that your position is based strictly on religion, and that that is why you fail to concede, or to acknowledge, even the most obvious and smallest of facts. I know that people always behave as they do for a reason. There has to be a reason why you play dumb, because you obviously are not. I believe your "impartiality" is an absolute pretense.
