Good ole Mississippi to vote on ending abortion Tuesday, 11/8/11

-An acorn lying on the ground has not germinated and within days will be ruined by tiny worms consuming it from the inside.

Actually of all the photos, the acorn and the human embryo are the best match. One could say an acorn on the ground of the forest is like an embryo in the fallopian tube. Both are not guarenteed to grow.

An acorn can sit on the ground and there is a chance it can get an inch or so underground (be it from rainfall and erosion to a squirrel storing it) When the rains come it only takes about 2 weeks for the shoot to rise above the soil.

Likewise, an embryo may not implant in the Uterus and about half of all embryos that do die thereafter.

Lets consider your point, what are the odds between the two? Every year the average oak tree drops hundred, maybe more than a thousand acorns, very few produce anything but a meal.

What is the failure rate of the embryos?

If your asking this question you missed the point.

He often does.

The Dude,

Another example of your failure to discuss any topic without slurring a VJ member which of course is a breech of TOS.

Grow up.

Maybe I did but the bottom line is for your reasoning to even apply, the photo would have to be replaced with one germinated...

which was my main point -the photos are a disingenuous comparison.

Acorns continue to mature prior to germination. One might even argue that germination is to an oak as labor is to a human.

You are still wrong, as usual. It's an easy statistic to look up and verify. So was it an intentional lie, or are you simply intellectually lazy? And you wonder why people don't take your posts seriously.

Danno, ---removed---, if only you could actually report statistics correctly. Half of african american pregnancies are NOT being terminated. You either misread the statistic, or far more likely are trying to deceive people here not willing to look up the statistic themselves. The actual figure is 50 out of every 1000, or 5%, not the 50% nonsense that you are quoting. If it were anyone else, I would chalk that up to a simple reading error.

post returned with personal attack removed.

Your problem is you piss your pants with excitement and accusations and bring nothing but insults to the discussion.

I heard the 50% number from a Black program talking about this topic.

Now that being said, you are right perhaps I should have verified the number first, while I am not going to waste a lot time on it, the first source I came to indicates in the State of Mississippi

77.4% percent of abortions are from Blacks 21% whites and a few in other groups.

I'll look into live birth- abortions when I get back home.

My Point was well founded, all these so called racist in the state are working very hard to save the lives of a disproportionate number of African American babies.
