Do you see the trick used to defend late term abortions?

as a person who works with numbers all day never trust percentages; we manipulate % in power points all the time to stress a point

example

67% of folks enjoy shit in their chicken

oh wow! that is weird

well only 3 people were asked and 2 of them enjoyed the shit; oh by the way the 3 people asked were clinically insane

Are you saying that 60% of the time the percentage(s) are manipulated every time?

100% of the time. All polls and stats can be manipulated to one side or the other.


50% of those polled say the glass of water is half empty. By the way only two people were polled. Makes that poll 100% true and honest.

No, Fox News had the abortion.

They oughtta make a banner at the front desk of HQ that says "no one person is bigger than the company."

Tucker thought he was untouchable.

Just bothers me. 91% of abortions occur in the first thirteen weeks and saying most Americans support those is an accurate statement. But they report it like this in the news "most Americans support most or all abortions - still an accurate statement because they do support most abortions. However a vast majority don't support all abortions they just are tucking that bit in with what most do support. (Apologize for posting this in the wrong thread).
