Health care providers who perform abortions do not require their clients to disclose the circumstances under which the woman became pregnant -- and any law requiring a woman to do so would be blatantly unconstitutional. So there are no such statistics, and any website that purports to offer such "percentages" is not reliable. (I mean, how would they know?) Besides, "carelessness" is a subjective concept.Although I am pro-choice, I understand that you have to take a "pro-life" position, and so I would like to help you with a suggestion. I think you are approaching your task from a totally wrong direction. It seems to me that you are trying to characterize an unwanted pregnancy as a fitting punishment for carelessness, baiting a rapist, etc. Demonizing the parents -- and particularly the mother -- makes for a very unconvincing argument; and it will give your adversary the ammunition to prove that the "pro-life" people aren't about saving lives, but about using illegitimate children to stigmatize their mothers and punish what they deem to be immoral behavior.It is also a logical fallacy. If you attack the mother, your adversary will say: So, are you saying that abortion is okay if the pregnancy isn't the woman's fault, but is wrong if it's due to "carelessness" or whatever. The so-called "pre-born" life is either always sacred, or never.Accordingly, I suggest that you refrain from passing judgment on the character of women who seek abortions. Argue from a neutral place -- like, for example, that a pregnant woman and her fetus are equally full-fledged human beings, and that she may no more kill her fetus than she can a born child. That argument still got holes in it, but it's considerably better than what you've got cooking right now.
