I would be very worryed if native english speaker with medical training wouldn't. [[User:Timppeli|Timppeli]] 13:44, 2 May 2007 (EDT)

Aschlafly - you keep stating that the researchers 'concealed' the fact that only a minority of participants in the study were from other than non-Hispanic white background. This implies a deliberate concealment. As far as I can see in the report they were absolutely open about the fact that 92% of their participants were non-Hispanic whites, and in fact even drew attention to it by pointing out that this meant they were from a group that might be less likely for sociological reasons to seek an abortion. Since anybody who reads the report can see this, on what basis are you making the assertion that it was deliberately concealed?--[[User:Britinme|Britinme]] 19:13, 3 May 2007 (EDT)

: You tell me: what percentage of the participants were black?  Hispanic?  It's concealed.  Even the 92% figure is buried very deep in the article, where few (and certainly not the press) are likely to notice.--[[User:Aschlafly|Aschlafly]] 19:17, 3 May 2007 (EDT)
    
Please could we also settle the issue of potential misunderstanding of the words 'spontaneous abortion'? I think you are utterly mistaken in your view that it could be confusing, but if you insist on keeping that viewpoint in the article, it needs to be balanced by pointing out that the study participants were all registered nurses who would have encountered that phrase during their training.--[[User:Britinme|Britinme]] 19:13, 3 May 2007 (EDT)

: 25% of the respondents were confused by the question.  Enough said.  "Spontaneous abortion" is not the customary term for a miscarriage inside or outside the medical profession.  Nurses wouldn't use the contrived term any more than a lay person would.--[[User:Aschlafly|Aschlafly]] 19:17, 3 May 2007 (EDT)
