You don't think much, do you Dwight? It's not necessary for a good Christian such as yourself. But I must confess, I was mistaken here. It was prenatal and neonatal care you couldn't distinguish between. me, in Message 6251663 Table 2. Fetal Deaths, 1992 Gestational age Number 2023 weeks 8,152 2427 weeks 4,567 2831 weeks 3,635 3235 weeks 4,107 Those are sad statistics indeed, and have nothing to do with abortions. Something has to be done in those instances, D&E is better that a C-section in terms of the mother's health and recovery. Better prenatal care could probably reduce fetal death after 24 weeks much more than a "PBA" ban, the total number of abortions after 24 weeks in 1992 was 1170. Somehow, better prenatal care doesn't seem to be much of a priority for the "right to life" crowd, at least compared to the PBA issue of the day. The response from Good Christian Dwight: Message 6261592 And somehow, the absense of any facts to support such an outrageous statement doesn't bother you Daniel, or the authors of the so-called statistics you present. Daniel: The hospitals and research hospitals are doing all they can in the area of prenatal care, and in fact have made great strides. "Right-to-life" people have all the motivation in the world to help these efforts, not hinder them, as the slimey piece of propaganda you posted supposed. In any event, there is nothing that Pro-life people could do to prevent prenatal research, even if they wanted to. One of my co-workers' wife had a baby at 26 weeks. It weighed 2.1 lbs, and after birth decreased to 1 lb 9 oz. That boy today is three or four years old, and healthy as a horse. Good thing his mother decided to keep him, rather than having his brains sucked out. It appears that someone doesn't know the difference between prenatal and neonatal care, and that someone isn't me. Of course, given the Neocon neonate neologism, the official moral reformation line seems to be that there apparently isn't any distinction to be made. Debating with people who redefine words to mean what they want them to mean is difficult, though. Neologisms like PBA don't help either. I must also dryly note that those "so called statistics" and "slimey propaganda" I presented were from the Alan Guttmacher Institute, which your co-culture-warrior Neocon has recently cited.
