-
- Since you have gone out of your way not to limit yourself to elective
- abortions, but rather "all abortions," you are VERY wrong.
-
- About 33% of all fertilized eggs are expelled from the female body without
- implanting. Thus 33% of all abortions occur "way before" "the huma heart
- starts beating."
-
- Therefore a maximum of 67% of abortions can occur after "the human heart
- starts beating," far less than your 99% figure.

- Hey, twit! Do you even realize the absurdity in your contention that
- fetuses without brains do not grow, followed by the admission that fetuses
- do not have brain waves until 7 weeks of gestation?
