Why American Babies Die

Hardly. So you don't have an opinion ?

I do.

You want me to be on your side now? Where were you when my side was bleeding and wounded? You stumped on me more.

You are the archetypal knight in shining armor, showing up at the sheer mention of a damsel in distress!

Suh-weet!

Well, to be honest Janelle hasn't been here that long so I'll give her backup as needed. The rest of the ladies here(Val, Maven, Penny, Novembro) are, how should I say, more prepared to rip one's entrails out if the situation arises(I'm pretty sure I've seen Penny on Mob wives and Maven is that lawyer they call in to handle cases).

According to a report published last week by the Centers for Disease Control, out of the 34 developed countries that make up the Organization for Economic Cooperation (24 European nations, plus Australia, Canada, Chile, Japan, Korea, Israel, Mexico, New Zealand, the United States, and Turkey), the U.S. ranks 27. Worldwide, we’re number 56, sandwiched between Serbia and Poland.

...

Health economists at the University of Chicago, University of Southern California, and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology argue that these national numbers don’t tell the full story.

...

When the researchers broke the statistics down by age, they discovered that neonatal deaths were actually less frequent in the U.S. than in Austria and Finland. (“Neonatal” refers to infants up to a month old, while “postneonatal” includes those between one month and one year.) In other words, American babies are mostly fine while they’re in the hospital and during their first days at home—but over time, that changes.

...

Unsurprisingly, the states with the highest rates are also among the poorest. “If Alabama were a country, its rate of 8.7 infant deaths per 1,000 would place it slightly behind Lebanon in the world rankings,” Christopher Ingraham recently noted in The Washington Post, while “Mississippi, with its 9.6 deaths, would be somewhere between Botswana and Bahrain.”

When the researchers took socioeconomic status into account, they found no significant difference in mortality ... among babies born to wealthy, well-educated women. Lower down the socioeconomic ladder, though, the differences became stark; children of poor minority women in the U.S. were much more likely to die within their first year than children born to similar mothers in other countries.

this is a numbers and percentage game. USA has very poor care for newborns (compared to other countries) and the lower strata of humans keep pumping em out here.

so, conclusions wrong, based on the data. sorry.

There are some on VJ helping contribute to the demise of the white male race. No worries. The white male race will be changed to the white Asian race. The white male race will not go away.

I luvs the emasculation. Thank You, Thank You, Thank You !

So you are saying the above mentioned ladies can be mean and rip peoples entrails out. You words not mine and that Penny would fit in an organized crime family. Once again your words not mine. Which would do you think would be the quickest to rip your guts out ?

HMMMMM

Better be careful Marvin.

Okay, okay, fine. I do not agree with the comment. I would like to say more but I don't want to get anyone in trouble. Unless they make racist rants all the time then I don't care.

I appreciate all of your help you did yesterday. You have a break, a hug, a rose and a kiss from me.

Hahahahahahaha are you saying I turn into a monster at night?

[The Nature Boy 4,224]

No dear, not a Monster.. You are just a little more emotional. My theory is you might have a drink or two, or maybe you just missing your man.

Hmmm now he just slick sidedly called me an alcoholic. Man you are really losing it lately

I'm just kidding. Not a drinking, please I take sleeping pills. Alcohol and stuff like this don't mix well. I hate stereotypes about black people. Once I die, my kids will still have to deal with this stupidity. I want them to have a bright future. Or encourage them to move out of the U.S. Maybe Canada? lol

So you take an Aimbien right before you get off the chain ? I take that sometimes or use to. Makes me loopy and eat like I smoked a Bob Marley
