::I see my edit got reverted, but could i have some explanation why please, as it sounds kinda weird to claim the average age of the women in the reasearch to be 42 when youngest is 43. [[User:Timppeli|Timppeli]] 15:22, 24 April 2007 (EDT)

::: I thought I had explained this here, but now I can't see it. So maybe what I wrote was not changed. Your point is a good one.

::: The study ended in 2003, when the youngest would have been 39. The average of 42 applied to those who had an abortion, which means they were on average 12 years old when Roe v. Wade legalized abortion nationwide. It makes sense that the younger side of the population was more likely to have had an abortion, so an average of 42 is plausible.

::: Regardless, that is the age given by the study says and I've offered to email it to folks who want to analyze it. One took me up on my offer here.--[[User:Aschlafly|Aschlafly]] 15:26, 24 April 2007 (EDT)
