[Apologetics] Abortions - SDA and Catholic hospitals

[Stephen Korsman]

Hi

Some abortion stats were posted at the Catholic Answers forum on 2 Adventist hospitals, 1 Catholic hospital, and 1 other hospital.  These are 2006/7 stats in response to an earlier discussion of 1991/2/3 stats.  The text from the forum will be in green.
