Drich keeps posting something along the lines of:
As far as I can see no-one has picked him up on this so I guess I should.
I am assuming he is referring to abortion.
Now if we are referring to abortion then the only way the word Baby could be applied is to late term abortions (over 20 weeks) at which point a baby could be technically viable (I think the current premature record is around 22 weeks). Prior to this the "baby" is more a potential baby or, technically a foetus.
Do Drich's numbers stand up?
No. According to the research about 9000 late term abortions (over 20 weeks) were carried out in 2008 in the US.

Now that is way too many but one does wonder how many of those late term abortions would have been performed earlier were it not for social/religious pressure delaying the decision.
Leaving that aside for a moment if this is Drich's main tool for proving how evil our human morality is lets take a look at the abortions God carries out - conveniently renamed miscarriages to protect the guilty party.
For example here (http://americanpregnancy.org/pregnancyco...riage.html)
It states:
"Spontaneous abortion (SAB), or miscarriage, is the term used for a pregnancy that ends on its own, within the first 20 weeks of gestation. The medical name spontaneous abortion (SAB) gives many women a negative feeling, so throughout this article we will refer to any type of spontaneous abortion or pregnancy loss under 20 weeks as miscarriage."
It then goes on to state:
"American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG). Studies reveal that anywhere from 10-25% of all clinically recognized pregnancies will end in miscarriage. "
http://miscarriage.about.com/od/riskfact...istics.htm offers us rather different stats. Higher actually. Apparently upto 70% of all fertilized eggs fail to result in pregnancy.
I think you will find that God's abortions outnumber ours by a massive margin.
As ever God's morality is worse than ours (even assuming he actually exists).
As ever Christians are so blinded by their faith they fail completely to hold him culpable for his crimes. That's the maltheistic magic at work.....
