Instead what you did was treat developing countries as a proxy for countries outlawing abortion. You never to my recollection directly made a statement like this, but your argument assumes it. If "developing countries" can not be considered as equivalent to "countries that outlaw abortion" the whole argument falls apart. But in fact there are many developing countries where abortion is legal so the two sets of countries are simply different.

AGAIN, Tim: The web site made the link between devloping countries and countries that outlaw abortions. I know you saw the information because I pointedly mentioned it to you. Now we both know that "more likely to be ilegal" leaves out a lot of the data, and we know it is a generalization made to simplify the points and interpretations that had been gathered from the entire bodyb of data collected, analysed, and interpreted. But even though, they did not share ther thousands of pages of data--it was not the forum. They did make the comment pointing out a correspondence between the developing countries and illegality, and I accept that as part of the evidence, and I trusty that they mentioned it because they considered it important.

And I did not call you a weasel. I aid you were engaging in weaseling behaviour. I admit, however, that I have seen an improvement--but I'm not holding my breath<g)
