Hello, I recently got into an argument with some friends regarding repeat abortion. Though I've seen a number of posts about 'trashy women', transwomen, etc. and about 'killing male babies', I'd prefer to have more solid data.
Effectively, the argument began when one of my friend's discussed how a church had demonized abortions. Pro-life myself, I acknowledged there were a number of instances where a women would and should rightly have an abortion. (Rape, incest, if it risks the life of the mother, etc.) Then there's the matter of how men 'rightly' have no say in an abortion, but have little to no ability to perform a 'financial' abortion in turn. But I digress. I brought up how there were a number of women effectively using abortion as contraceptive, either maliciously getting rid of the child (radfems bragging about killing male babies) or used it in place of proper contraceptive practices (due ignorance, apathy, or maliciousness). I was attacked for strawmanning, which - without additional information - is fair.
Aside from pouring through Google on my lonesome, I'm not entirely sure where else I'd be able to ask for help gathering and discussing such information without instantly being excommunicated.
To this end, so far I've found two studies that should work as (hopefully) sufficient data regarding women who have repeat abortions. However, additional information - and, better, more updated information is always better.
Beyond that, obviously intentional infanticide is important to the topic. While abortion itself is a controversial topic, infanticide as a whole is monstrous. While there is information about regarding female infanticide, there is little regarding male infanticide. While likely not practiced as often, it is clear that the suffering of men is frequently ignored, overlooked, and covered up.
Effectively, I'm looking for information to either prove or disprove the notion that
-
There is a statistically significant portion of women who have repeat abortions without the proper use of contraceptives and
-
There is a statistically significant portion of the population who commits abortion OR infanticide based on the gender of the child.
