Don't know if anyone pointed that out, but in my country (Poland) average life expectancy for females is 80, for males 71, while for USA it's 79 total.
It was never ~53, so you are either troll or victim of USA education system.

Kirilenko at 25? Shocking.
Russian life expectancy (2007) is 74 for females, 62 for males (was 57 in early '90's). Life is a pretty brutal for the men.

LOL, didn't knew that. Yeah, seems Russia is just as "special" country as they said.

Apparently some working class bits of Glasgow (Scotland) are 53 for men.
Poland is doing well. There are some very poor parts of Eastern Europe which do far worse.
Interesting info-

Russia is the world's only developed country where the average life expectancy has steadily fallen over the last half-century. Russia is the only country that is experiencing catastrophic depopulation while not being formally at war. Nicholas Eberstadt, a scholar with the American Enterprise Institute who has recently published a book on the subject, estimates that since 1992 Russia has lost nearly 2 million women and 5 million men to what demographers and public health specialists call "excess mortality." These are people who, given their age and social status, should not have died. Eberstadt is fond of pointing out that the life expectancy for a 15-year-old Russian boy today is less than that for a Somalian 15-year-old.
What do these people die of? Cardiovascular disease, AIDS, and, most strikingly, so-called external causes: violence, accidents, suicide, and poisoning (primarily alcohol). What all these causes of death have in common is self-inflicted risk. Cardiovascular disease is usually the result of an abhorrent diet, alcohol abuse, and smoking (a majority of adults of both sexes smoke cigarettes). HIV is transmitted unimpeded in a country that, polls show, has one of the world's highest AIDS awareness rates and lowest rates of condom use. Accidents and violence, almost invariably linked to alcohol abuse, are also obviously the result of systematic excessive risk-taking.
We love them Eurasian bitches in Russia anyways.
it all depends if you think of it as a creature. it's not a big deal to eliminate creatures. hunters kill all the time. killing is part of life. just saying......but to call a person a psychopath if they feel nothing is crossing the line. maybe you are just being too sentimental and need your head examined for being such a wimp in the face of life as it is: full of suffering and cruelty. that's life. deal with it but don't unnecessarily mourn it. that's just a waste of energy.

No matter your personal views on abortion as an abstract concept, when confronted with the reality of extinguishing a small living creature inside you, how could this possibly not have affected you?
If you truly, honestly felt no lingering psychological or emotional effects, again notwithstanding any abstract views about the general question, I would have to suggest that perhaps you may be a psychopath, incapable of human emotion.
Sorry for the blunt assessment, and I'm not a mental health professional so this is just a personal view from a random spectator, but honestly, your statement put me back on my heels a bit. I can't imagine two abortions not having had some effect on a human (particularly the woman involved) without SOME kind of emotional toll.
We wanna eff the young skanks not the wrinkled old bags over 22 years old.

Actually, I'm pretty sure that's part of the clinical definition of psychopathy.
Just sayin'...
"At the denist on Fridy I just chose to have a Composite Resin filling rather than Mercury Amalgam filling. No mythologists, no government had any say in my decision. The discussion was between myself and my dentist and I made the decision on my own".
That is a pretty weak argument, trying to compare nascent human life to a tooth procedure. If the tooth is nascent human life then your point may be valid. But its not, and your point is invalid.
A woman can do whatever she wants to her body. But nascent human life is not part of the body, its inside your body.

That statement is moot and not applicable to reproductive medical procedures.
According to International Law, each individual woman and individual minor girl has the right to decide for herself what to do with her body.
No government, no other person or parent or guardian, no fictional literature interest group, has any say in her decision.
No, feeling nothing after an abortion doesn't make you a psychopath. You people are retarded, I swear.
Think about it: if you're getting an abortion you probably don't think of the fetus as a human being. So why the hell would you be upset about it? It's no more upsetting than an ordinary period unless you're into the later stages of the pregnancy.
To bring it all together:
this Russian woman killed over 300 men!
Sabatini not even in the top ten? heretics!

I can see you are treating this as a vague philosophical topic, and have made no real attempt to internalize the question a little more deliberately and carefully.
Let me try again from a different angle...
If you and your partner discover you/she is pregnant, then if you are normal, emotionally, I would expect you to have some kind of emotional reaction. Could be a wide variety of reactions, depending on your hopes, plans etc, bu there would certainly be some kind of reaction, nonetheless. If not, I would again suggest there is something "wrong" with you.
You don't have to form a value judgement or even feel one way or another about children, in general, to react emotionally. Getting pregnant is a "big deal" and prompts emotions, positive or negative, in both (assuming normal) partners.
Now if this couple has decided to abort the pregnancy (I'm not calling it a child, or a life - you can define the pregnancy however you like to fit your own views), then there would have been, by necessity, some deliberation involved in coming to this decision. And I contend that, no matter your general beliefs on the topic of abortion, that decision cannot be made by a normal human without causing some kind of emotional response.
I don't think anyone is necessarily "wrong" or "evil" for choosing abortion, but I think that if one is capable of making that decision without feeling some sort of eotional impact, they must be an unfeeling person without normal human emotion.

Not a troll. During my visit in the early 90's I was told by Russians that it was 53 for men. Apparently 53 was very close. 53 or 57 is incredibly low for an industrialized country in the 1990's. Tough life!
