Norway Commits Suicide

IIRC, this is the same for german wimen, and about 70% for ruskettes.From the desk of The Brussels Journal
A quote from the Norwegian newspaper Aftenposten, 9 January 2007

More than half of ethnic Norwegian women under age 25 choose abortion if they get pregnant, according to a new study. [...] Eskild’s study marked the first time that researchers tracked the incidence of abortions and births among ethnic Norwegian women. [...] “It’s very surprising that it’s more common for women under 25 to have an abortion than it is to carry out their pregnancy,” Eskild told newspaper Aftenposten.

#8  TW, thanks. I want to think we did, but unfortuantely we will never know.

#7  Or use coathangers or interesting chemical combinations the way they did during the period in the US when such things were completely illegal. Those who really don't want to go through with it for whatever reason, even with the option of adoption at the end, will do so, as women have since time immemorial. USN,ret., I'm sure you and the lady made the best decision you thought you could at the time.

#6  I believe that abortion is a decision that is up to the woman ( and the father of the child) and not up to society to dictate. Having said that, the graphic of the hanger is, in many cases representative of the only choice a woman may believe she has if her society prevents her from seeking professional medical care and conseling. I do not think that 'drive-by abortions' should be the panecea for lack of knowledge and prevention, precautions, etc., but to condemn a woman for what she feels is her only course of action puts those that do the condemning on a par, IMHO, with the stereotypical Moslem male; the same one that makes with the acid face wash, or genital mutilation, or any other number of barbaric actions.
Unless or until you have been a party to having to make that decision, please don't force your opinions on others. It was (or is) not an easy choice to make, and one that will be carried until I die.

#5  I agree, Broadhead. Although to be realistic, if you tightened up the abortion laws in such a way then people would simply travel to other countries in order to do it; a lot of Irish women came over here for that reason.

#4  I don't want to ban abortion out right either (partial birth not with-standing). Why don't they advocate adoption of unwanted infants? I know so many folks who cannot have children of their own who would love to adopt a child.

#3  I wouldn't ban abortion outright, but I would certainly make it a lot harder to obtain. There should have to be a genuine need for it on health grounds.

#2  Mark! Just take a deep breath and tell us what you really think!

#1  I gotta get get this off my chest. I'm going to p*** off some folk by saying it, but it needs to said. It's the truth.

Abortion is obscene. These STUPID Norse women take no precaution and apparently do not demand that their STUPID male partners wear protection to try to prevent conception. An abortion will inhibit (prevent in many cases) the ability of a woman to successfully bear children later in life which is a secret the women at Planned Parenthood don't want you to know about.

You stupid men and women in Europe are being outbreed by the enemy. We here in the USA will not be so inclined to bail your ass out of the fire when the sh** hits the fan as it most surely will in the not too distant future.
