BCBrian,

What happens if you eliminate the children of illegal aliens from the infant mortality statistics?

How many of those infant mortalities were due to drug addict mothers?

How many of those infant mortalities were born to single mothers who were too young/stupid to care for a baby?

How many of those infant mortalities were due to the incredible technology and techniques used in the U.S. to save premies in distress that wouldn't have been born alive in other countries?

How many of those infant mortalities were due to babies being born to older parents (or parents who have other biological problems affecting conception) through conception with artificial helps (that happens more frequently in the U.S. than in a lot of other countries)?

One number doesn't tell the whole story.
