:I stated that above in my analysis and have yet to get a response. I thought Andy would be willing to engage in a discussion about my findings after reading the study, but I'm not going to hold my breath. [[User:Jrssr5|Jrssr5]] 13:57, 26 April 2007 (EDT)

==Problems with this article==
I have just got hold of a copy of the study. This article says that 25% of the respondents showed 'confusion' over the term 'spontaneous abortion' and cites a page reference. I would like to know the exact text on which this term 'confusion' is based, as the article only cites a page reference which is not evident on my downloaded copy. The study says: "Of the 107 721 study participants who returned the 1993 questionnaire, 106 804 (99.1%) answered the question on spontaneous and induced abortion." That doesn't sound like confusion. Moreover, the cohort of women enrolled in this study were "116 671 female registered nurses 25 to 42 years of age", who would as a result of their nursing training definitely not have a problem distinguishing a spontaneous abortion from an induced abortion. There are other problems, but let's look at these first.--[[User:Britinme|Britinme]] 23:43, 1 May 2007 (EDT)
