Statistical studies can be used to prove anything, and ARE used by the left to prove their 'morality.'

They have statistical studies to prove that the children of divorce are happy, or that abortion doesn't hurt anybody, but it doesn't make it so.

Sometimes you have to get your head above numbers, and understand that there is a source for morality beyond ourselves.

If we have no morality outside ourselves, we can move, slide and migrate in any direction...rationalizing whatever we wish and desire to do.

We'll back into the studies to justify ourselves. That is what NAMBLA does in their minds.

Are you saying that there is evidence that adult-child sex is not harmful to the child? NAMBLA has tried to make this case, with extremely limited success.

I've seen evidence both ways when it comes to divorce, but the general consensus among researchers of all ideologies is that divorce makes children less happy. As for proving that abortion doesn't hurt anybody, there is no statistical test that could show that, one way or the other.
