Steve,

Dr. Ruckman being "wrong" (your word) on ONE item

People being wrong about this " ONE item " has cost 50,000,000 babies their lives. I guess this " ONE item " is not that big of a deal is it?

Bad ideas have bad consequences. In this case 50,000,000 bad consequences.


This is a pretty big " ONE item " isn't it?

Using AGI figures through 2003, estimating 1,287,000 abortions for 2004-06, and factoring in the possible 3 percent undercount AGI estimates for its own figures, the total number of abortions performed in the U.S. since 1973 equals 48,589,993.
