I think you missed my correction earlier. I corrected 90% to 88%. I corrected 3 months to 84 days. And I corrected, "on the embryo" to on the embryo AND the fetus--the embryo being classified as a fetus during the last 28 days of this statistical period. If this is confusing for you, I can paraphrase it:

88% of abortions take place during the first 84 days.



I didn't miss your "correction". I read it, I commented on it, you responded to those comments and I responded back. Correcting "on the embryo" to "on the embryo and the fetus" in this context is not a minor correction. It changes the whole nature of the original comment. You can argue that the original comment and any subsequent discussion of it is not of extreme importance because neither of us where using the age of the unborn as an important consideration, in fact I even offered to drop the subject because it was generating heat with very little light and was not central to the overall issue, but you did state that the vast majority of abortions where done on embryos not fetuses and you reacted harshly to my idea of dropping it.
