the outrage. And what will their next salvo be? I'd really like to see a million women march on DC for health care. (on edit)It would be powerful. Maybe you can show Fox News and teabaggers what a real crowd looks like.

4. uh actually read your headline
Edited on Sun Nov-15-09 11:06 AM by dsc
it says death for women between 15 and 44, you say death for all women. Since the majority of women who die are over 44, that means you are still wrong. ON edit, the Stupak amendment only applies to US women so it was reasonable to assume you meant US women in your post.

2. Unrecommend for wrong facts
Edited on Sun Nov-15-09 11:02 AM by stray cat
and even for women health care is more than payment for an abortion - don't men want real health care reform?

7. Sorry. I don't know what point you are trying to make, but
you haven't done it very effectively.

11. I understood your headline - but I've been following the news

and could fill in the gaps.

The main cause of death among women of childbearing years worldwide is directly related to their reproductive organs.

The second leading cause of death among women of childbearing years worldwide is directly related to their reproductive organs.

---

In other words, the main causes of death of women worldwide of childbearing years are ... being female.

It's hard to reconcile that with the war on women's health care.
