Interesting Claim that the FLDS are killing Babies

Weird too, considering their doctrines. I have nothing to go by so, go by and drop her a comment. Or two...

From the "Executive Director at Americans Against Abuses of Polygamy" who calls herself "Boots." I'm tempted to make a joke about the "Executive Director Formerly Known as Boots," but can't quite work one out yet.

"I received an answer a couple of days ago to the challenge I have issued, for anyone to show me another city in the United States, of the same size, which has the same child death rate as Colorady City, Arizona, home of the FLDS.

Here is the resonse to the challenge:

I accept your challenge in regards to explaining the number of children ran over by cars in Colorado City.According to the NTSA the per-capita child pedestrian fatality rate is 1.6 per 100,000. Using their formula the rate for Colorado City is 1.79 per 100,000. Colorado City has a marginally higher rate than the rest of the country.This minute increase can easily be attributed to there being more children in that population than in other areas. For instance you used Lake Havasu so I'll use that population as well. Colorado City has 3.28 times more children age 15 and under than Lake Havasu. With over 300% more children there are going to be more incidences of any nature involving children.I look forward to your reply.


Here is my reply:

Are you telling me that Colorado City, Arizona has more children in it than the entire state of Connecticut? Just to be fair I compared Colorado City to an entire state, which had the same number of deaths, in the same time period."

I truly do not know where to start with this one. Maybe she's not getting responses because no one gives a flying rip. So I thought I'd help her out.
