Are you deliberately trying to feign obtuseness? It is an act, right? I could care less whether you call human growth an embryo or a fetus. What would that have to do with an argument for or against abortion??

You are a stickler for accuracy of my statements even if they are of questionable relevance to the over all argument. I'm just returning the favor. You originally said 90% of abortions where performed in the first 3 weeks. I understand that you meant months but you would have blasted me for it if I had made such a mistake. Also in your original statement you said "on the embryo". Then you correct your mistaken statement about 90% of abortions being on embryos with another mistaken statement that it is really only 88%. Then I demonstrate how it is only 36% and instead of just dropping it, or acknowlegeing the error, you attack me as obtuse and ask what that has to do with an argument for or against abortion. You obviously thought the 90% figure was important enough to mention and then defend, so it became part of the conversation and was important enough to talk about. Now that it is shown to be wrong it is irrelevant and I am either obtuse or feigning obtuseness because I show it was wrong. If you want to drop it fine, don't have a problem with the idea, but there is no need to be insulting, arrogant and condescending esp. when in regards to the specific point that was under discussion you where wrong.
