  “When compared with peer countries, the United States was the absolute worst with respect to still births, infant mortality and low birth weight.”
  What other industrial countries have a comparable racial demographic to the U.S.? I realize the religious Left refuses to use “nuance”, science, and reams of data on race to join the reality-based community, but can you commit a sin here for your readers and tell us how white Americans compare to “peer” white Europeans, for example?

  Why no mention of maternal mortality, especially since your own state of Indiana does so well? By the way, why is that?
