No I don't know that and neither do you. This is no longer about an abortion. I can't believe that anyone would try to justify not providing normal standard of care just because the baby is not wanted.

I've been thinking about this a good bit lately. Just last week, I was playing with a UCI data set for poker hand recognition. I used a neural net for the recognizer and tested it against the training and the test data set -- 99% accuracy!
Seems pretty impressive, right? But, a simple, rule-based system would be 100% correct, always.
I have a bad feeling that we're going to start seeing a lot of 99% solutions for 100% problems.

The system can also mistakenly identify fathers and sons as the same voter, ignoring designations of Jr. and Sr.
Sounds like these "experts" didn't do any real analysis at all. How do father and son get identified as having the same birthdate (including year, which the program they criticize is using)?
"Tom's heart ached to be free, or else to have something of interest to do to pass the dreary time. His hand wandered into his pocket and his face lit up with a glow of gratitude that was prayer, though he did not know it. Then furtively the percussion–cap box came out. He released the tick and put him on the long flat desk. The creature probably glowed with a gratitude that amounted to prayer, too, at this moment, but it was premature: for when he started thankfully to travel off, Tom turned him aside with a pin and made him take a new direction."

Or get an XMOS microcontroller . Multiple CPUs. Also, each CPU has hardware support for multi-tasking, so each of four to eight processes gets a guaranteed portion of the system clock.
The system programming model is based on Communicating Sequential Processes (CSP). The I/O lines have hardware support so you can do FPGA-like timing and control, but using a nice, high-level language. Lightning fast. Rather popular for audio-processing systems.
It also introduced indentation equals blocks, which was a huge mistake, and again, it would not have been any less of a language if it had simply adopted curly brace syntax.
To the contrary, I've contended before that Python's use of whitespace to delimit blocks has been a key component in its *success*. Why? Simply, because it is one of the few languages that has that feature.
Some developers (myself included) really like this whitespace significance, but others hate it with a passion and talk shit about it every chance they get. Consequently, very few new languages adopt that behavior.
So, every time a hot new language comes around, it siphons excited developers and users from established languages (e.g., Perl -> Ruby). But (perhaps) that tends to not happen to Python, because for a lot of its developers and users, whitespace significance is really terrific and there are very few alternatives if you like that. It seems that Python keeps its developers for a long time and the language and the incredible diversity of libraries reflects that.
'It is claimed Pearse flew and landed a powered heavier-than-air machine on 31 March 1903, nine months before the Wright brothers flew their aircraft,[1] but the documentary evidence to support such a claim remains open to interpretation, and Pearse did not develop his aircraft to the same degree as the Wright brothers, who achieved sustained controlled flight.[2] Pearse himself never made such claims, and in an interview he gave to the Timaru Post in 1909 only claimed he did not "attempt anything practical... until 1904".' -- Wikipedia
If I give another couple thousand to the Federal government, it will have no noticeable effect on the Federal budget. If I get my tax bracket to do that, it will have an effect.
But that is not selflessness. Not wanting higher and higher taxes is the quality on which liberals *constantly* claim that conservatives are "selfish", when the opposite is clearly true. You might have some argument if you didn't push for tax hikes in tax brackets other than your own, but you couldn't honestly claim that.
Firstly, you don't need to campaign to have your own taxes raised. You can give more than required, if you choose, already. So don't pretend that.
Secondly, you are wrong in your claim that conservatives are not more likely to give to "people in general who need help". See here.
"They were also 23 percentage points more likely to volunteer. When considering the average dollar amounts of money donated and time volunteered, the gap between the groups increases even further: religious people gave nearly four times more dollars per year, on average, than secularists ($2,210 versus $642). They also volunteered more than twice as often (12 times per year, versus 5.8 times)."
and
These enormous differences are not a simple artifact of religious people giving to their churches. Religious people are more charitable with secular causes, too. For example, in 2000, religious people were 10 percentage points more likely than secularists to give money to explicitly nonreligious charities, and 21 points more likely to volunteer. The value of the average religious household’s gifts to nonreligious charities was 14 percent higher than that of the average secular household, even after correcting for income differences.
Religious people were also far more likely than secularists to give in informal, nonreligious ways. In 2002, religious people were far more likely to donate blood than secularists, to give food or money to a homeless person, and even to return change mistakenly given them by a cashier."
Now, I admit that this example conflates "religious people" with conservatives, but the strong correlation between those two groups is even better documented.
It is well documented that conservatives, in general, are far more generous and charitable than liberals. Selflessness is not reflected in the forcing of others to pay higher taxes.
Hmm. This conflicts with this source. NC pays $0.5295/gallon while Pennsylvanians pay the most at $0.766/gallon. Several states pay more than NC in federal and state taxes.
Your 31% figure is spot on for Pennsylvania average prices, though the figure does rise to 35.3% if you compare against the cheapest price.

Good point. Rick was operating in a virtual environment - he wasn't part of it. So his perception of time couldn't be stretched out like ours can.
