[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You obviously feel strongly about what you wrote. Your comment is practically hysterical.  Despite your claims, American women are having more babies than Europeans. It’s not a tiny wealthy minority.

My guess is you live in a blue urban liberal bubble and don’t get out there often. Your beliefs are shaped by wealthy liberals and the poor minorities living around you. [/quote]
I'm not PP, but are you disputing that the U.S. has the highest infant mortality rate in the developed world?[/quote]

I think if you remove one minority group with terrible health, high obesity rates, low education and high out of wedlock births then the situation in America looks very different. 
It’s tragic but simply doesn’t apply to your average white woman who graduated college and got married before having kids. [/quote]
Why are you allowed to cherry-pick stats, but other countries can't do the same?[/quote]
I'm assuming PP is talking about black Americans. There is no European country with a black population remotely close to that of the US. If you removed them from both sets of data you'd just end up reducing the gap between the US and Europe by a significant amount.[/quote]

Okay, I get it: You only care about white women, so let’s look at those statistics; According to the CDC (non-Hispanic) white women in the US have an infant mortality rate of 4.5 per 1000 births.

Congratulations! Your babies are worse off than an impoverished African migrant giving birth in Poland (and just about every other European country.)
CIA has Poland listed at a 4.9 so that would make their odds worse.
