Yes, less than 1% of the population will have more than one abortion but it's important to note that only 2% of the population will have an abortion. .95 out of 100 isn't worth noting, but .95 of 2 is a substantial number. Anyway, you seem to ignore the fact that the 36% is part of the 47%, meaning that 11% of the people who had one abortion will have another one and no children while the other 36% will have at least one other abortion and one child. That doesn't change the fact that people who have one abortion are likely to have another one nor does it change the fact that they are more likely to have another abortion than people who have never had an abortion are to have one. Seriously. No one mentioned anything about aborting children with reckless regard, so I don't know why you bother bringing that up. The original statement was that people who have one abortion are likely to have another one. Not really sure how/why you bother arguing against that, but meh.
