It doesn't sound like he bases his judgements on a lot of facts but more on opinion.

That's exactly what I've been arguing in my LJ over the past day or two. The thought of viewers actually believing this stuff is what gets me.

The only reason she found out she had a tubal pregnancy (which would have not only caused the baby to be stillborn but killed HER as well), was because she got an abortion.
