The Onion | We're #2!



Every day, The Onion hits the streets and asks people to weigh-in on the most pressing issues facing the country. We'll be serving it up to you every day, so keep coming back.

U.S. Infant-Mortality High

In a survey of 33 industrialized nations, the United States was shown to have the second-worst infant-mortality rate. What do you think?

 

  "Hey, don't put this at my feet. I stopped shaking my babies months ago."
  Kate Thorton, Career Counselor

    Do the babies that are dying belong to Kevin Federline? In that case, I'm all for infant mortality.

    If the current government is letting these babies die, is it safe to assume the NSA had knowledge that these infants would have grown up to be Democrats?

    Yeah, but we are the strongest country in the world, what else matters. Why worry about a few dead babies, unless you are talking abortion, then its murder.

    What are the criteria for determining infant mortality? some countries don't count infant mortality until after the baby has lived a few days. If our health care is so bad, why don't those who think so go to a country where it's better! Why isn't longevity considered along with infant mortality? that might help put things in better perspective.

    Who did the polls for the mortality rates and what were the qualifications?  The United States has been known to cry for a child who fell down a water well.  Are the morality rates including abortion, and is the Abortion Party who fondly call themselves Democrats discounting abortion rates?
