I've been hearing that pro-life protesters are actually using photos of miscarriages and stillbirths instead of abortions. How much truth is there to this claim?

No, there wouldn't be a 10% chance of a Muslim character spawning. But if I subtract lower MTTH from the higher one, than it works. 900/100, which is equal to a single MTTP of 1000, right?
EDIT: Nope, I'm wrong. Higher MTTP equals lower chance @cardgame!
They call themselves pro-life but also tend to support the right to bear machine-guns, so I'd say they aren't particular sticklers for the truth, internal coherence, or values.
You should also take into account the fact that their opponents can also be cretins and make things up about their making things up… yet it seems very much within the scope of their usual hypocrisy (they tend to vote Donald Trump and claim they have family values). Perhaps Snopes or another site could give you actual data?
x-post-induced fake edit: hopefully cardgame has something on it?
Anti-abortion activists are about the most unethical activists you'll encounter anywhere. They're so absolutely convinced of the rightness of their righteousness that nothing they do in pursuit of it can be wrong.

They are obscene. The billboards can even be graphic.
You have them even worse than here then?
I don't know what they're like there. Here they are the scum of the Earth. There is no lie they will not tell to further their agenda. There is no babykiller they will not elect so long as the person promises to ban abortion.

Play with me.
Are you talking about the Anti-Abortion Activists, or the Republican party?................not that there is any difference between them...
Cheerleading for the deaths of fetuses is great and all, but does anyone know what I should do with my problem?
Let's say there is a MTTH of 1000 and I want there to be a 15% chance of a certain religion appearing. Not 15% on top of the already existing event. The total odds of a character being created should remain the same.
How would I figure this out?

My question didn't get really answered anyway. Not even by Snopes. Join the club.
Although I do hope that you checked with a search engine at least. Surely there are modding groups for that game that grappled with the problem? You hate the posts here but you stay here? Where's the logic in that?

OK mouthwash, you already figured out how to weigh it. Now we're just adding extra events while wanting the probability to remain the same.
Multiply MTTH by the number of events you're creating to avoid overspawning the event. Now it will fire with the exact same frequency (give or take RNG)

I asked the same question here. Solution doesn't sound like what you described, but then again, I did forget all the math I ever learned.
The events I'm changing have MTTHs of 1000, 2000, 800 and 1600, and I want a 20% chance instead of 15% now.
It's actually surprisingly unhelpful (even when people bother to respond). You don't know how good you have it at Civfanatics.
Plus, my mod's taken off and there are a lot of posters who assume I 'know what I'm doing' or something like that. I won't be able to show my face there again if I have to ask how to do something as simple as editing MTTH.

The way I would handle this is convert the MTTH's to probability of event happening in 1 turn. To convert use the formula P_event_one_turn = 1 / MTTH, and also MTTH = 1 / P_event_one_turn. So if you currently have chance of getting religion = 1000 MTTH then that is P_event_one_turn = 0.001. You can then easily say you want 80% chance of that being christian = 0.001 * 0.8 = 0.0008, 20% muslim 0.001 * 0.2 = 0.0002. You can then convert them back to MTTH, 1 / 0.0008 = 1250, 1 / 0.0002 = 5000. This should give you an mean time to getting any religion of 1000 turns and a 20% chance that muslim, 80% christian.

Your question was kinda vague. If you asked about a specific event you could get more specific answers. As phrased the answer to your question is almost certainly yes. One good example of pro-lifers lying about abortion is the attempted hatchet job by James O'Keefe on Planned Parenthood which has led to some people actually believing that Planned Parenthood sells body parts taken from dissected babies.
As long as you mean "If the current event has a MTTH of 800, what is the MTTH of 2 events that combined have the same probability of happening and have a 80% : 20% relative chance of happening, the working is:
800 MTTH = 1/800 = 0.00125 per_turn
event A (80%) = 0.00125 * .8 = 0.001 per_turn = 1000 MTTH
event B (20%) = 0.00125 * .2 = 0.00025 per_turn = 4000 MTTH
[EDIT] Thinking about this a little more, I think this is only correct if there is no chance of 2 events happening on the same turn. If both events could happen on the same turn these numbers will be very slightly wrong, I would have to think about it to be sure.
