[QUOTE]Originally posted by glassman: [QB] [b]But In 2003, Barack Obama voted against the identical version of Born Alive in Illinois. Then, for the next 4 years he repeatedly misrepresented his vote until it was recently discovered in the IL General Assembly archives.[/b] again this is another political ploy of the GOP to make abortions a political football. [b]James Elgin Gill (born on 20 May 1987 in Ottawa, Canada) was the earliest premature baby in the world. He was 128 days premature (21 weeks and 5 days gestation) and weighed 1 lb. 6 oz. (624 g). He survived and is quite healthy.[31][32] The record for the smallest premature baby to survive was held for some time by Madeline Mann, who was born at 26 weeks weighing 9.9 oz (280 g) and 9.5 inches (24 cm) long.[36] This record was broken in September 2004 by Rumaisa Rahman, who was born in the same hospital[37] at 25 weeks gestation. At birth she was eight inches (20 cm) long and weighed 244 grams (8.6 ounces). Her twin sister was also a small baby, weighing 563 grams (1 pound 4 ounces) at birth. During pregnancy their mother had suffered from pre-eclampsia, which causes dangerously high blood pressure putting the baby into distress and leading to birth by caesarean section. [/b] now see if you can find out how many post-21 week abortions are performed? ever hear of pre-eclampsia? or any of hundreds of other condition like it? nope, but it's easy to get upset about the thought of the abortion isn't it? [b]28 Aug 2007 03:49 AM Why the US Infant Mortality Rate is So High by Valorie Delp | More from this ****ger In case you hadn't heard, the US has the second highest infant mortality rate among the developed nations. If you're thinking our health care system stinks and that's why so many babies are dying. . .think again. While certainly universal access to health care (or lack thereof) does have an influence on whether or not mothers get adequate prenatal care, the reality is that the United States pushes the boundaries on what can be done in both fertility and neonatal medicine. Pushing the Envelope on Viability One reason as to why so many babies are dying is that doctors are saving more premature babies with advanced technologies. But these super preemies don't always live. The younger an infant is born and the less it weighs, the more likely it is to die. These precious little angels also contribute to the infant mortality rate. But many countries that 'beat' the United States on the list, won't use 'heroic measures' to save super preemies. Pushing the Envelope on Fertility Something that is interesting is that the United States also has the highest rate of super twins. (Super twins are triplets, quads or more!) Super twins do happen naturally but it is very rare. Most triplets, quads and all quintuplets or sextuplets these days are born via fertility treatments. However, super twin pregnancies are very risky and always result in premature babies--who are more likely to die.[/b] http://baby.families.com/****/why-the-us-infant-mortality-rate-is-so-high [/QB][/QUOTE]
