Yellen has told the truth. According to NPR, 50% abortions are done by poor Black or Latino women. When poor people flush-the-fetus, it does indeed help USA, economically and demographically. Thanks Yellen. Flush that fetus.

Bestsurvivor 7) Claim: People who are religious don’t get abortions. More than 60% of abortion patients have a religious affiliation.

Bestsurvivor 6) Claim: Fetuses feel pain early in a pregnancy. Medical researchers agree a fetus is not capable of experiencing pain until the 3rd trimester, somewhere between 29-30 weeks. Despite this 16 states passed abortion bans based on the notion that fetuses experience pain~22 weeks.

Bestsurvivor 5) Claim: People are getting abortions late in pregnancy. Over 90% of abortions happen in the first trimester (by 13 weeks). See chart.

Bestsurvivor 4) Claim: The only people getting abortions are straight, cisgender women. About 500 transgender or nonbinary people had abortions in 2017, according to a Guttmacher Institute survey.

Bestsurvivor 3) Claim: Abortion is dangerous. Pregnancy and childbirth are far more dangerous than getting an abortion, according to data from the CDC. See chart in article.

Bestsurvivor 2) Claim: After Roe, abortions skyrocketed. While the rate of abortions increased significantly in the decade after Roe v. Wade, it has since decreased to below the 1973 level.

Bestsurvivor 1) Claim: There is big support for ending Roe in America. 6 in 10 U.S. adults (61%) say that abortion should be legal in most or all cases.

Bestsurvivor Excellent.

Fact check: 100% of abortions are lethal

All of those people that are distraught over the leaked information of abortion should not worry. Because you can still go to a state that allows you to abort and kill your child.
