I recall hearing these really, truly disgusting jokes while growing up. I trust that in the Internet Age, most of these have found their way around to some site or another. Call it "Rule #59". However, even the worst of those jokes I have successfully forgotten just don't compare to the reality of how our taliban have used the concept of the dead baby to leverage themselves into power during the past 20+ (if not 40+) years.
As posted on Peach Pundit, from State Sen. Eric Johnson (the same intrepid senator who displayed porn to scuttle the Assembly's efforts to free Genarlow Wilson), we've apparently had an approximate 1/3 fetal retention rate since 2005's legislation mandating a 24-hour waiting period for abortions in the state. Per the senator, approx. 11,800 warm bodies have entered play, and that there's some great benefits of keeping "pro-life" (aka our protestant taliban) in office.
Well, great. Now, let's throw some darts...
- Let's start with the first line: so many ways to go with this, I'll choose: "...well that explains the need for judicial review."
- How many of these 32-40,000 were return visits? Likely very few, with several million women living in the state. for those querying at home: group by patientid...
- How many of the 11,800* declared "carried to term" went out-of-state for their abortion procedure?
- This means 20K-30K abortions were actually performed in the state, of a possible 34-42K. How many kids were born in Georgia since 2005? Oh yeah! The rest of them.
And, here's another sick joke: Q: How many statistical babies does it take to maintain taliban rule in the "land of the free"? A: One. As long as one statistical baby has been produced, our taliban will claim success. Never mind their basis for rule is unamerican to begin with (hence the "small-t" spelling of taliban). |
