How would you know they're not correct?  What makes you an expert 
on this?  I don't know why you think you know more/better than 
what is EASILY searched out on the internet.  Yes, I know there's 
a lot of bullshit on the internet.  Take a look at the links here 
and see if you think they are stupid and you are right:

1. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abortion_statistics_in_the_United_States

2. https://www.cdc.gov/reproductivehealth/data_stats/abortion.htm

3. https://www.cnn.com/2013/09/18/health/abortion-fast-facts/index.html

I mean, how many more links do you need to see?  Are they all 
lying?  Your daughter (not in the US) knows more than anyone else 
about this?

Yeah, except that's not the case.  The links above are for 
"medically induced abortions" (quoting from the first link).  The 
number do *NOT* include the other cases you attempted to confuse 
the issue with.  Repeat - the numbers do NOT include miscarriages, 
emergency contraception, or anything else.

Now how about commenting on what those links say, and not being 
snarky/deceptive and trying to twist things.  Can you do that?  
And please don't bother claiming the links are from some "radical 
right-wing viewpoint", because they are not.
