When you read Roger's diatribes, remember this: There is nothing in
his posts, on this subject or otherwise, indicating that he gives a
damn about kids. But there is a long string of his posts documenting
his grievences about women.
That's what's going on here. And as for the history of illegal
abortion, as late as 1950, long after antibiotics were available to
clean up the potentially lethal sepsis that frequently accompanied
illegal abortions, at least 1200 women per year died from illegal
abortions. Last year, the number who died from *legal* abortions was
12.
Those are the reported numbers. Many deaths of women in illegal
abortions were covered up with other supposed reasons for death.
That's the consequence of making abortion illegal. If you want to
restore the traditional, patriarchal dominance of women that was the
male prerogative in the golden days to which conservatives and
reactionaries would like to return, that's what you get.
Roger seems to favor that time.
