- I'll just point out that as well as repeating false claims about
- the health and safety requirements which can legally be imposed
- upon freestanding abortion clinics, Kellmeyer has also repeated
- a great deal of anecdotal evidence from anti-abortion physicians.
- The so-called scientific evidence that some of these people cite
- is not accepted by most. The CDC disputed Hilgers' statistical
- methods, for example.
-
- The study of psychological aftereffects in members of Women
- Exploited by Abortion (the Reardon study) is not worth refuting
- again. (Can you say biased sample?)
-
- The evidence which supports the safety of legal abortion is
- overwhelming. Unscrupulous anti-abortion people attempt to
- fabricate evidence to refute it, but these attempts have been
- exposed as frauds over and over again.
