On another thread, you attacked and belittled pro-lifers.

Actually, I am tolerant of pro-life beliefs -- I just disagree with them. However they, such as yourself, claim medical issues which aren't evident in the statistics. For instance I pointed out a couple of studies which debunked your abortion-breast cancer link. In another I showed that there doesn't seem to be a correlation between the introduction of legal abortion and female suicide ratios (there was an increase, but the male suicide increase was greater, pointing to societal rather than physical causes.)

That's debunking, not belittling.

Nonsense. A couple of studies does not debunk the fact that 28 of 37 studies to date show a positive correlation. Your estimation of your debunking ability is not objective.

More nonsense. Read the overall statistics. And stop pulling out exceptions in an attempt to disprove the rule. Your employment of equivocal language (seems) tells us you know you're being disingenuous simply to try to win a point of debate. Typical atheist.

Its your story, you tell it as you like it.

Oh, by the way, are you gay?
