1. what do you mean by "a high percentage"? please support your argument with actual statistics.

2. let's be clear: for most human beings, getting an abortion has a moral dimension. My argument is that this moral dimension is learned. It doesn't matter if it is one abortion or multiple abortions, the pain and trauma associated with the moral difficulties of having the abortion are learned.

3. a woman who has an abortion has lost a child. You could much more easily that the biological component of the parent's trauma is associated with child loss and not with the moral question of abortion . If you look a the animal kingdom you clearly see evidence of trauma and grief in parents who lose their children. I doubt very highly that an elephant mother mourning the loss of her child is contemplating the moral aspects of poaching.

I didn't read it all but i basically understood that the majority of people gave the same answers regarding a number of moral dilemmas. This supports his argument that morality is universal, and innately programmed into each one of us.
Do me and everyone else a favor, do not link to articles that you haven't taken the time to read fully.

Another important statistic is that over 50% of abortions are repeat abortions, that is, the woman has already had one or more abortions. This implies that women are using abortion as a means of birth control.

About 35 in every 1,000 women aged 15–44 have an abortion each year.

the first thing was a force or perhaps better described as the awakening of the thought of a force, and its name was Gevil. Once awakened Gevil split into two, Good and Evil. Thus balance was achieved.
