It seems to me he understood the difference quite nicely. He mentioned a co-workers' wife who had a child at 26 weeks gestation. I have not enough information but it seems something was wrong in the pregnancy (grin). Presumably the woman's prenatal care was such that they were able to nurture the mother and child until its birth instead of, as Dwight has said, “having his brains sucked out.” Perhaps I am wrong, but when Dwight mentioned that it was a “Good thing his mother decided to keep him, rather than having his brains sucked out,” it signaled to me he spoke all along of the wonders of modern prenatal care, wonders that would allow an unborn child to be nurtured such that at 26 weeks it could be born, this, instead of “having his brains sucked out.”

Good Atheist Schuh: a couple questions for you: Q #1: Whose words are these from, in your post quoting statistics from the Alan Guttmacher Institute: Are they from a post by you or me?: >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. Hint: They're not from me. Q #2: Whose words are these, in a response to you? (hint: They're from me): The hospitals and research hospitals are doing all they can in the area of prenatal care, and in fact have made great strides. > Now then Schuh, how did you conclude that I don't know what prenatal care is? PS - You're boring me.
