Infant mortality rates higher in areas dominated by conservative Protestants, study says

The study also suggested links exist between fundamentalism and other health problems suffered by infants as they get older.

The article is sophomoric at best. It fails to define some terms such as science and education which leaves and understanding that the author is claiming all science and all education is rejected by conservatives. Couldn't be farther from the truth. Talk about an obviously bias article.

A study like that can NEVER prove the existence of a link, only a mathematical equivalence.

Rather like the supposed link between saturated fat & heart disease which was promoted with such certainty that it was widely adopted. The result has been an increase in obesity, diabetes & - heart disease!

The study also suggested links exist between fundamentalism and other health problems suffered by infants as they get older.

That exact quote is, I hope, a hilarious grammatical error - "fundamentalism and other health problems!"

Ridiculous.

No link can be established.

Form your opinion and then look for evidence that supports it.

My first (bad) impression was the stealth swipe at the pro-life position, right out the gate (likely Brumley is a liberal who supports "the woman's right to choose"). And, yes, correlation is not causation. This "proves" what whoever wants it to prove.
