The GOP crowd spends all their time trying to figure out how to be the most wrong in every way possible, on any given issue. In the '90's, we had an infant mortality rate in Pittsburgh hitting our black inner-city population, that was worse than Bangladesh's, which was the poorest country in the world. While we were an 'international medical capitol', and were cherry-picking or brain-draining newly minted doctors from Bangladesh. Malnutrition, poor access to pre-natal care, and industrial environmental-degradation factors are to blame. Corporate profit medical rationing 'death panels' in action. Ignoring this, the 'pro-lifers' turn out every Labor Day to create a gauntlet all we union trade marchers have to pass, full of giant posters of 3rd trimester abortions, to show how 'pro-life' they are.
The OP and 'Hitch' ignore that there are no 'bones', 'hearts', or 'brains' destroyed by the emergency contraception pill, but 'pro-lifers oppose it anyway. And the t-v ultrasounds are necessitated because a standard ultra would not show the 'truth' as 'terrible' enough for the pro-lifers, who are 100% sure that zygote is a person, but who have to make fake lying movies like 'Silent Scream' to prove their point. So moral and religious, but they always have to lie to 'prove' their points.
