I know we're done with this debate - but (I can't help adding my twopennorth-- something about the preemie stats (more premature babies born in the US than in countries with organised healthcare) struck me as odd. So I pottered about the internet a little and found this:
"In the United States in 2004, one in eight babies was born prematurely, compared with one in 18 in Ireland and Finland.
"Once a baby is born preterm, we do a good job of saving it," MacDorman said. "What we're not successful at is preventing preterm birth in the first place."
Fleischman seemed to agree. "The quality of neonatal intensive care is superb," he said. "We know how to rescue babies who are born very tiny, but what we don't do well is prevent prematurity."
Reasons for this, he said, include a lack of universal access to health care for women of childbearing age or pregnant women of any age. "That's a tremendous difference with our European friends," Fleischman said."

Carrots - I love ya, but peeing on more sticks is not going to make you any more or less pregnant...
