that settles it! i'm convinced you listen to too much rightnut radio or listen to it just so you can stir up shit here! you are clearly intelligent. you say that you're well-versed in mainstream babykiller politics. what on dog's green earth makes you think that this tactic would fly given the statistics?

5% of abortions occur after 16 weeks (4% at 16-20 wks; 1% > 21 wks)

55.7% occur at less than 9 weeks 77.7% occur at less than 11 weeks 88.7% occur at 12 weeks or less

Engaging in the same tactics that rightnutters do is really counterproductive. Not because the truth hurts, but because the link to the pic demonstrates a studious desire to remain ignorant of when, where, how, why women have abortions in this country OR a desire to ignore this knowledge in order to subtly shift the terms of the discussion to something that really isn't an issue.

Had you posted about 6 and 11 week old undead babies, I might take you seriously because that would indicate that you don't need to be smacked on the tush with a klew by four. ( I would rub gently and pat a little afterward, though).
