...abortion was a good attempt to walk the middle line between two sides of what can be deemed an irreconcilable issue. It is encouraging to see the two sides of the abortion debate willing to sit down and talk inoffensively about their serious differences. But there was no mention of the disproportionate number of minority fetuses being aborted. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reports that three times as many black fetuses as white ones are aborted.

...Ironically, it is advances in medicine - not to mention an overabundance of bureaucracy as well - that created this war's unprecedented number of recovering outpatients. In past wars, injured soldiers were treated and discharged to VA hospitals for follow-up care. Walter Reed has kept them longer to improve use of the latest prostheses or ease post traumatic stress disorder and mild brain injuries, maladies rarely diagnosed in Vietnam...
