  3. It's a little disingenuous to invoke "letting nature run it's course" after a botched partial birth abortion was performed, and then referencing the negative outcome for the child.

  10. Sounds like crappy statistical analysis to me.

    No company purposely goes out to screw itself over dumbass.
