people can get away with saying anything
from yahoo! news:
SILOAM SPRINGS, Ark. - Shayna Richardson was making her first solo skydiving jump when she had trouble with her parachutes and, while falling at about 50 mph, hit face first in a parking lot.
Although badly hurt, she survived - and doctors treating her injuries discovered she was pregnant. Four surgeries and two months later, Richardson said she and the fetus are doing fine.
"Just this last week we went and saw the doctor and we've got arms, we've got legs. We've got a full face. The baby is moving around just fine. The heart rate looks good. So not only did God save me but he spared this baby," she said.
...yes, yes. four surgeries later, GOD saved you and your baby. keep saying the bullshit--the associated press will keep printing it, without a slight nagging or interjection from the conscience of good sense. maybe this is their idea of printing some 'good' news. i'm truly glad this lady and her baby will live. most sincerely, i am. but this news story is, in general, very depressing to me because of what was never said. in one of the most fundamentalist countries in the world (ours), people read things like this and take it as corroboration for their dangerous worldview. people can go on being suspicious of science and respectful of religion, while science saves babies and religion, all over the place, is killing them.
