Summary
Some pro-choicers try to argue that abortion is safer than childbirth. However, they are simply basing this myth on faulty logic and a single research study that can't even be replicated due to poor reasoning and insufficient data! I invite you to tackle this lie head-on, knowing that women deserve care - care that promotes the wellbeing of both the mother and child, not the killing of the innocent.

| 0:10.7 | Hey, pro-life, Jen. |
| 0:12.4 | Welcome to this new episode of How to Win the Debate on the explicitly pro-life podcast. |
| 0:17.8 | I'm Kristen Hawkins. |
| 0:19.0 | Thanks for tuning in this week. |
| 0:22.6 | You know, many abortion supporters will argue that childbirth is more dangerous than abortion. That's why we need abortion |
| 0:29.2 | to be illegal. Eh, wrong. In a poster America is essential that we all understand exactly how dangerous abortion is, legal and |
| 0:41.6 | illegal abortion is for women, especially compared to childbirth, because you're going to get |
| 0:46.8 | this talking point over and over again. The single most important thing to know about this |
| 0:52.4 | claim that abortion is safer than childbirth is that it's based on one study, a 2012 Raymond and Grime study. |
| 1:00.3 | And this study has never been replicated because it cannot be. |
| 1:04.9 | The reason the study cannot be replicated is because it uses insufficient data and poor reasoning. The research does not support the claim |
| 1:14.9 | it attempts to make. It compares apples to oranges by using two different data scopes to compare |
| 1:22.3 | maternal deaths to abortion-related deaths. First, it uses low or unknown abortion-related death numbers. |
| 1:31.0 | In the United States, Maryland, California, New Hampshire, Washington, D.C., New York City, |
| 1:37.4 | do not have to report and don't report their abortion numbers to the CDC, the Centers for Disease |
| 1:43.7 | Control. Why? Because we don't have |
| 1:45.8 | any national abortion laws. That's right. You heard it from me. All the abortion advocates |
| 1:50.1 | who claim the abortion is so safe and awesome are always the ones to go in and lobby and defeat |
| 1:55.8 | any bill that would make a national abortion repository to keep track of the numbers of abortions that happen in our country and the outcomes of those abortions. |
| 2:05.7 | So first of all, when we start with numbers about abortion deaths, we don't even have the right numbers. |
| 2:12.5 | We don't even know how many women really have abortions every year in the country. |
