9. I found it interesting that they used the right-wing, fundie term
"partial-birth" abortion, instead of the more medically correct (not to mention more politically neutral) "late-term abortion."

I actually considered writing them about this, but then decided that they must have known what they were doing and were trying to elicit a certain response (which they didn't get from me).

10. My brother's a published OB-GYN. He first heard that term in a newspaper.
Yes, I asked him.
