I want to share a truly wonderful moment with everybody.
While some people might have become upset and begun composing
rebuttals halfway through T.C. Wheeler's article I retained enough
composure to have a good laugh at the end where he mentions 1.5
million deaths. There can be no doubts now about death before birth -
it exists, plain and SIMPLE!
Please stick that terminal up my nose now, I deserve that as I
am replying to T.C. Wheeler's article.

Seriously, no intention to sound insulting, but "death before birth"
sounds absolutely absurd to me. Please comment if you disagree.

Of course, my disagreement with Wheeler is more then phraseological,
but his presentation has VERY little to do with his powerful conclusion.

In conclusion a line from NBC's SNL news item describing
medical efforts that resulted in a successful delivery of
a Third World mother's baby:
       "both mother and child are starving comfortably."
