They're not the only ones. From the post

Dr. Shea also points out that Bovens is far short of the mark on his science. "The generally accepted figure for spontaneous abortion is not 50%, but 10 - 15 %. Ninety percent of all such abortions are due to rejection of a maldeveloped embryo or fetus," notes Dr. Shea.

This statement is nonsense. This study says 31% of all pregnancies were lost after implantation; that does not count cases where the embryo did not implant. A more recent study got a virtually identical rate of 30% natural abortions after implantation.

You: This statement is nonsense. This study says 31% of all pregnancies were lost after implantation

You never understand what you are talking about.

Real life: Because 10-15% of clinically recognised pregnancies end in miscarriage,

From British Medical Journal, Investigation of recurrent miscarriages, BMJ 2005;331:121-122 (16 July), doi:10.1136/bmj.331.7509.121 .

Your figure relates to "One third of conceptions do not result in the delivery of a baby", also from above BMJ article.

You get way too emotional when you see things you hate (ie defense of religious views) that you get mixed up.

Typical of liberal emotionalism.
