<<This woman has an infant- if it was dying, or in a potentially life threatening situation, would that baby have to wait that long for medical assistance? Because if so, that baby would be a dead baby>>>

You're serious about this? She lived 25 miles from Oklahoma City! 25 miles! If you eliminate all women with three year old babies who live 25 miles or more away from a big city, I think you would find the number staggering.

This is a different subject than the gun issue that I took exception to, but I find this argument even more puzzling. What - we need be so coddled today that we must now live within close proximity to medical care? I would be willing to bet huge money that children brought up in rural settings do way better than children in inner cities much closer to medical care. And, I'm more than a little surprised by your argument as you can see.
