Wow. 70% of pregnancies in Russia end in abortion. Unbelievable. At the same time, their Muslim population is exploding. I wonder if they'll ban abortion out right?
I always think of Russia when people say that God is punishing the US for our abortion rate.

well, for once the stat is at least vaguely resembling reality (slightly over 50% in 2001), but it's still an exaggeration.
and actually, it's what happens when preventive birth control is seen as a bad thing. learn some history.
So, if the U.S. doesn't shape up and toe God's anti-abortion line, we're going to turn into Russia? Or do you mean we're going to be getting a lot more Muslims? Or do you mean God will punish us for our abortion rate by banning abortion outright?
That's a pretty high rate there, angel...makes you wonder why there are still so many Russians around.
@Seigi no Mikata: As the product of a fundie pregnancy, I take offense to that.
@Kris
Hmm... I think not!
WTF is this even supposed to mean? I wonder if angelka even knows if what she posted is supposed to mean. No reason, no sense, no logic, no coherency to this post. I doubt that 70% of pregnancies in Russia end in abortion, especially if the Muslim population is "exploding". Muslims reproduce faster than rabbits, and they despise abortion just as much as fundy christians. So there's obviously something wrong with this statement. And is god punishing the USA for it's abortion rate by the mere existence of Russia? That last statement makes no sense.
In soviet russia, pregnancies abort you!
Also, 5489.0002% of all statistics are made up on the spot, and 6724.4% of these are only valid if the stars are right AND all the planets align with the north star.
We know the true reasons behind pro-birthers are usually one or a combination of these:
a) Sluts must pay!
b) Outbreed the icky darkies!
c) It is a woman's place to be barefoot and pregnant (a variation of sluts must pay).
d) Nobody have sex until I (or my particular religion) approves of it!
It doesn't have to make sense, guiz! She's a pro-birther! They're doin' it fer Jeezus!
It’s true that Russia does have a high abortion rate (but not as high as the OP said). But the funny thing is how American Christian fundies now are trying very hard to ignore this fact, because it’s more important to them that Putin and his followers are fellow homophobes.
Says quite a bit about their priorities and how “pro-life” they really are
If 70 percent of pregnancies in Russia end in abortion, doesn't that include the Muslim population?
They've more or less banned gayness, which is the group least in need of abortions...
God is the biggest abortionist, silly; some 50-85 percent of all fertilized eggs are flushed out in spontaneous abortions.
According to the Bible, life begins with a breath, and you're not counted among your people until you're 40 days old. The problem in Biblical times were not too many abortions, but too many kids dying before the age of five.
Health-wise and economically, it's better to abort the embryo you know you won't be able to take care of, than go through all the extra burden and costs of pregnancy and childbirth, trying to keep the baby alive, only to see it dying at the age of two.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
