God forbid grown adults face mild consequences of irresponsible decisions. Again, there's an agreed upon cut-off point, we're not taking about a blanket ban here, so don't colour the discussion to look like we are. We're talking about a failure to use (or accidental misuse/faulty batch) contraception, followed by not using a morning after pill, followed by not seeing a reproductive specialist in regards to the unwanted pregnancy for weeks on end, until the fetus develops to such an advanced stage that it would be viable even outside of the mother's body (which is right about the time of the current legal cut-off, by the way). That's a lot of boo-boos one after the other.
Your patience isn't really my concern, you are under no obligation to answer queries or provide additional justification. I simply said that your position is based on your own personal perception of what's "right", not on science. Since you refuse to accept, or even consider, any widely available evidence (scientific evidence, not religious or crackpot evidence) in regards to early brain development or sentience as you do not ascribe value to it (after claiming that you did) and instead focus on the bodily autonomy of the mother (all the while denying even the concept of the fetus having bodily autonomy of its own, or even personhood for that matter) I kind of have no other choice *but* to interpret that as a dogmatic belief.
You can take offense to that if you wish, I don't mind one way or the other. If you, in earnest, believe that the fetus has no rights up until the point it exits the vagina, which is what you seemingly suggested, then I have to disagree wholeheartedly and there can be no "explaining" that, it's flat-out wrong. If you do not believe that, you haven't made that position clear, the goalpost keeps moving from "sentient" to "autonomous" to "separated from the mother", or at least that's what I've gathered so far. At this point I don't know what you think, which is odd because the more you explain it the less I gleam from it.
By the way, the woman's body suffers the same changes after abortion as it would after a miscarriage, or even a full-blown pregnancy if it's late term. We're talking nausea, milk leakage, pain and bleeding, mood swings, sore breasts, the lot. Check what constitutes post-abortion care before posting irrelevant data.
Actually deathrate in western democracies with hospitals not being overrun is around 0.375% so if 2.9% of US people died, real infection rate is around 4-8 times higher.
And again, in about february of this year you will reach more covid deaths than US deaths in the second world war. And this will go on for 2 more years, probably.
Also - its a 'close to exponentially' spreading disease so 'its only 2%' can become a raging epidemic in two weeks (if people stop following all measures) - moreso, because the US doesnt control/monitor clusters. Because you just have too many people infected to follow up.
Math is not your strong point, is it? Run those numbers again, I'm sure you'll figure out where you've made a mistake.
Edit: You know what? Nevermind, I'll do it for you. A death rate is a rate of deaths per 100000. The 2.9% figure is case fatality, as in how many people out of the infected group have died due to the virus. 2.9% of Americans didn't "die from covid", that'd be 9 million people, you'd be tripping over dead bodies. You're comparing two numbers that are wildly different. Let's have a look at case mortality in those European countries of yours, just so that we're comparing apples to apples, courtesy of John Hopkins:
United States of America - 2.9%, as I calculated, confirmed by John Hopkins
United Kingdom - 10.4%
Italy - 11.9%
France - 6.9%
Ireland - 5.4%
Spain - 4.9%
Netherlands - 6.3%
Switzerland - 4.1%
Germany - 3.4%
Hungary - 3.6%
Finland - 3.8%

Are there any other European counties you'd like us to look at? Because it's not looking so great thus far. I must've picked the less-developed ones, I guess.
