We’re all used to seeing cats lounging around outside when we’re out and about in cities and villages around the world 🐈

But this will no longer be the case in one town in Germany.

The Jamaican flower bat is found only in Jamaica and, until recently, was presumed extinct until a colony of less than 250 individuals was identified. This bat is an obligate cave-dweller, meaning it needs cave habitat in order to survive. #EndangeredSpeciesDay

The Critically Endangered Jamaican flower bat has only 1 known maternity roost & we have secured it! 🦇🌺

In collaboration with @nepajamaica, we have purchased Stony Hill Cave & the surrounding land, protecting the habitat. #EndangeredSpeciesDay

The argument against abortion has frequently been based on religion.

Data shows that the majority of people who get an abortion have some sort of religious affiliation, according to the most recent Guttmacher Institute data, from 2014.

Researchers wrote that fetal awareness of pain requires "functional thalamocortical connections." Those thalamocortical fibers begin appearing between 23 and 30 weeks' gestational age, but the capacity for pain perception comes later.

"Most abortions in 2019 took place early in gestation," according to the CDC. Nearly 93% of abortions were performed at less than 13 weeks' gestation.

Abortion pills, which can typically be used up to 10 weeks into a pregnancy, made up 54% of abortions in 2020.

Trans and nonbinary people have undergone abortions as well.

The Guttmacher Institute estimates in 2017, an estimated 462 to 530 transgender or nonbinary individuals in the U.S. had abortions.

The annual number of deaths related to legal induced abortion has fluctuated from year to year since 1973.

Data from 2013 to 2018 showed the national case-fatality rate for legal induced abortion was 0.41 deaths per 100,000 legal induced abortions.

Current abortion rates are lower than what they were in 1973 and are now less than half what they were at their peak in the early 1980s, according to the Guttmacher Institute, a reproductive health research organization that supports abortion rights.

According to the Pew Research Center's polls, 37% of Americans want abortion illegal in all or most cases.
