A National Tragedy...

No I'm not talking about what happened at Virginia Tech, although that is a heartbreaking tragedy, and my prayers are with them.

I wanted instead to share a quote from my ob/gyn text:
"Nearly 55% of pregnancies in the United States are unintended. Of these, 43% result in live births, 13% in miscarriages, and 43% end in elective abortion."

I can't even come up with any commentary on this right now.

"Products of conception": what my text calls the unborn baby and placenta. Well, I guess that's one way to look at it.

"The major disadvantage (of RU-486) is that the woman must deal with the products of conception at home." --another quote from my text

That is exactly why I am not going into Ob/Gyn.

This sucks. I would go into ob/gyn and give some honest feedback.
