<div style="RIGHT: auto"><span style="RIGHT: auto">As to your theory, Scott. I think that a pro-life woman is more like to have a baby with <span id="misspell-2" class="mark">Down's</span> because a pro-choice woman would be far more likely to abort it. Older women are also statistically more likely to have a baby with <span id="misspell-3" class="mark">Down's</span> and older women are statistically more likely to be pro-life as well. </span></div>

<div dir="ltr">I loved the stats Dale posted on his site. For instance, he had polling data that showed with some kooky accounting that 'The majority of Americans are pro-life'. Shortly thereafter, he had a post titled 'Search and Destroy' which showed that 92% of <span id="misspell-4" class="mark">Down's</span> Syndrome pregnancies are aborted. So let's say that both of these statistics are roughly accurate, but for crunching numbers more quickly let's say:<br>
<ul>
<li>50% of American women are pro-life and the other 50% are pro-choice<br></li>
<li>90% of <span id="misspell-5" class="mark">Down's</span> Syndrome pregnancies are aborted (assume all these abortions are by self described 'pro-choice' women)</li>
<li>10% of <span id="misspell-6" class="mark">Down's</span> Syndrome pregnancies are carried to term (assume all these births are by hard core pro-life women who are also NOT pro-choice for other women)<br></li></ul><br><br>Clearly these numbers show that that by being 'pro-life', a woman SIGNIFICANTLY reduces her risk of having a <span id="misspell-7" class="mark">Down's</span> Syndrome pregnancy. I welcome any / all comments to blow holes in my theory.<br><br><br><br>-Scott<br><br></div></div></div><br>=======================================================<br>List services made available by First Step Internet,<br>serving the communities of the <span id="misspell-8" class="mark">Palouse</span> since 1994.<br> <a href="http://www.fsr.net/" target="_blank">http://www.fsr.net/</a><br> <span id="misspell-9" class="mark">mailto</span>:<a href="mailto:Vision2020@moscow.com" ymailto="mailto:Vision2020@moscow.com">Vision2020@moscow.com</a><br>=======================================================<br><br></div></div><var id="yui-ie-cursor"></var></div></div></blockquote><blockquote type="cite"><div><span>=======================================================</span><br><span> List services made available by First Step Internet,</span><br><span> serving the communities of the Palouse since 1994.</span><br><span> <a href="http://www.fsr.net">http://www.fsr.net</a></span><br><span> <a href="mailto:Vision2020@moscow.com">mailto:Vision2020@moscow.com</a></span><br><span>=======================================================</span></div></blockquote></body></html>
