    Has this been vetted and fact checked? Just checking before I vote, I guess the last meme I see will decide how I vote.

    Sorry, that is an estimate. Yeah a very conservative state, which was more of a fear for them. Telling their very conservative parents or the abortion risk?


    Legal or not it's not going away is my point.

    Murder isn’t going away, let’s just legalize it so we can all sleep better at night.

    Simple google search shows roughly 100,000 people born in NC last year. So it is fair to say 10 times that were murdered 50 years ago.
    All this from a Fake news crying lemming

    fair enough but using a rough average of numbers provided by the CDC and Guttenmacher Institute; there was approximately 700,000 abortions nationwide in 1973 (earliest year available.) Per those same sources, the highest known annual number of abortions nationally ever was approximately 1.6 million in 1990.

    So I would have to think the ~800k number you used was a national estimate and not limited to one mostly rural state with a population of 4.952 million in 1967. Otherwise, that would mean that well over 50-75% of every woman of child-bearing age in NC had an abortion that year.

    ...since lately you've been so interested in fact checking and all.

    Friday thought: when your political beliefs are only expressed in a series of memes, they probably aren't very well thought out.

    A mindset like that only exists if you base esteem based on other's perception is or if you gauge yourself based on comparing yourself to others. All you can do is control yourself and influence your family. I honestly do not care if a conservative has an abortion none of my damn business. I only require that the person I vote for has a pro life campaign position.

    Thought...
    When you judge a person's political stance solely from the posting of political memes for entertainment. You may want to review how well thought out your own political views are.
    There are a few people here that need to chill over memes. Put those worries of "MISINFORMATION" to network news.

    I don't see a correlation between those two things.

    We should all be worried about misinformation regardless of its origin. The idea that "your" source of truth is infallible and not subject to bias or misinformation is a very dangerous one.

    Likewise, we shouldn't dismiss an entire section of the media just because we don't necessarily agree with it. The old adage about throwing the baby out with the bathwater comes to mind here.
