Many supporters of legal abortion claim that abortion is safer than childbirth. This factoid is frequently repeated by a number of mainstream-media outlets. However, the data to back up this claim are, to put it charitably, misleading. This is for several reasons. First, the CDC and other health organizations invest few resources in tracking abortion-related deaths. Second, many of these studies end their analysis shortly after the birth or abortion takes place. Data from a longer timespan would likely tell a different story. There is a strong consensus that giving birth reduces the risk of breast cancer. Similarly there is good evidence that submitting to an abortion increases the risk of suicide.

Fire contained

The Barker Canyon Complex fire was declared 100 percent contained at 6 p.m. Tuesday evening.

Grand Coulee Volunteer Fire Chief Rick Paris stated that the fire was turned back to local fire groups and they will be carrying out patrols through the week. Paris said if fire is seen people should call 911 immediately with information on location.
