"We have a very high infant mortality rate, ranking in there with some of the third world countries."

Not So.
The USA ranks in the top 87% of live births for the world.

http://www.umsl.edu/services/govdocs/wofact2002/fields/2091.html

We would rank in the top 97% but minority genetics drive that
number down.

From the CDC's web site:
Examples of Important Disparities
Infant mortality among African Americans in 2000 occurred at a rate of 14.1 deaths per 1,000 live births.2 This is more than twice the national average of 6.9 deaths per 1,000 live births. The leading causes of infant death include congenital abnormalities, pre-term/low birth weight, Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS), problems related to complications of pregnancy, and respiratory distress syndrome.3 SIDS deaths among American Indian and Alaska Natives is 2.3 times the rate for non-Hispanic white mothers.

I have seen skewed figures like this from leftist media
such as the Cuba loving commies.

THIS IS THE FAMOUS 'GREAT AND FREE HEALTHCARE' THAT REGULAR CUBANS RECEIVE

More America Bashing.
If they hate this country so much why don't they go live
in their above (Cuba) paradise?

I got the data I cited from a recent textbook on developmental biology. It could very well be disputed, and I'm not an authority on this topic---just citing a university text.

I don't doubt it.
They have an agenda,

Did you take a look at the link?

http://www.therealcuba.com/Page10.htm

That is what the socialist / communist refer to as good health care.

Mr. Seager should help stop the carbon dioxide madness. He should stop exhaling.

I guess that 55 million aborted children in 34 years just isn't enough. As the Dems say " We must do more".

Okay, I went to your link and found this:


A Cuban Hospital in what is obvious shambles.

Cuba didn't maintain this hospital.

Do you suggest this practice has spread to the USA?

Sounds like they want China's One Child policy mandated across the world. I hate these wackos.

This man simply wants to deny healthcare to the world's populace. His little hatched scheme would do that, of course. Just bring about the death rattle of all socialized medicine and all insurance plans.

We'd have to go for a pay-for-service scheme where only the rick could afford the more complicated procedures.

Throw the liberal wash back in his face, say I.

Yet, apart from insightful comments by former Vice President Al Gore ...

This guy has clearly been out in the sun too long.

If these people are so worried about overpopulation, why don't they picket the U.N. to stop trying to control AIDS in underdeveloped countries. The article admits that the biggest population growth comes from these countries. If we let AIDS and other diseases kill these people, then the population would be lower. While they're at it, why advocate peace of any kind? If people are killing one another in wars, the population will decrease. These people also believe that more guns means more people murdered. They believe that my having a gun in my home makes me more likely to be shot. I'm sure that they wouldn't miss me. If they believe that my owning guns makes my death more likely, why don't they buy me a gun or two. By their calculations, the gun would lead to my death, and the world would be a little less populous.

You know, you really should have put the "barf alert" on this commentary.

Bill

You forget, we must burn more sulfur because lack of acid rain increases carbon dioxide levels

Study: Less Acid Rain Not Always So Great

Japan's fertility rate has been on a nosedive since the 40s, steadily decreasing throughout that period. (Their "baby boom" was in the 30s and 40s, not the 50s as in the US.) They are presently below 1.25 and dropping.

I read a recent article on the subject that showed the relevant graph, but extended it into the future by showing a quick rebound in the near future to 2.1, maintenance levels, then staying there.

This graph was manufactured out of nothing. The text contained no discussion of any factors that pointed towards such a rebound.

I think people who grew up with the population explosion hysteria just can't get their minds around the fact that Spaniards, Italians, S. Koreans and Japanese are among the most endangered "species" on the planet. As the population of fertile women in these countries age, the window of opportunity for reversing this trend closes, and they are rapidly approaching the point of no return.

From the great Mark Steyn:

"Here's the question for (Episcopalian) Bishop Kate: If Fatma An-Najar (Gaza suicide bomber) has 41 grandchildren and a responsible "better educated" Episcopalian has one or two, into whose hands are we delivering "the stewardship of the earth"? If your crowd isn't around in any numbers, how much influence can they have in shaping the future?"

These are the same people who bought into "The Population Bomb" book which stated that if we didn't stop breeding that there would be mass starvation on a level humanity had never seen before by the 1980s. Oops! But! Have no fear! Global Warming to the rescue! Now they have a new excuse to demand we stop having babies based on more "incontrovertible" evidence of man's influence on the world. Same old story, same old solution, new rationale. Sometimes I think Liberals are incapable of originality.

Isn't it odd how their solution is the same to every problem, no matter what the problem might be?

More governmental regulation and higher taxes. Never fails.

Liberals are going from "no one can tell a woman what to do with her body" to "one family, one child" in the same generation.
