- Gee Mark why don't you also provide me with statistics on the average
- number of pimples on a baboons butt? Its nice to see that abortionists are
- so good that the number of mothers spared per child executed is high.
- Unfortunately, as you so deftly ignore, the total number of women killed
- is greater now that abortion is so ubiquitous. But I know, its not the
- women you care about, its the amazing effeciency and precision of todays
- techniques.
