'''The Battle of Bunker Hill''', a battle fought in the [[American Revolutionary War]], occurred on June 17, 1775 between the American Revolutionary forces under the command of General [[Israel Putnam]], and the British forces under the command of Major General [[William Howe]]. Howe was determined to take Charlestown Heights, overlooking Boston harbor. It was actually fought on nearby Breed's Hill, when Colonel [[William Prescott]] erred and set up his 1200 men at that location and began to construct earthworks. It is considered to be the bloodiest battle of the [[American Revolutionary War]]. Despite being repelled twice, the British were successful in a bayonet charge when the American ammunition gave out. The Americans lost 140 men killed, 271 wounded, and 30 captured.<ref>Encyclopedia of Military History, Dupuy & Dupuy, 1977</ref>

Tactically a Britsh victory, it was a morale boost for the colonial forces who met British regulars and didn't falter in the face of the enemy until their supplies were exhausted.

The famous quote '''"[[retarded strategy|Don't shoot 'till you see the whites of their eyes!]]"''', attributed to either General Putnam or Colonel [[William Prescott]], was from this battle.

'''Pregnancy''' is a term often used to refer to the physical state of many animal species (most notably humans) in which an individual is carrying a developing infant inside of its [[womb]]. While female individuals of a species are typically thought of as being the only members of a species capable of pregnancy, there are some cases in which a male individual, and not a female, is responsible for harboring the developing infants within his body. Additionally, the duration of a typical Pregnancy varies significantly between species.

Pregnancy typically follows successful [[copulation]] between a male and a female individual of the same species, though modern medicine has made available alternate means of inducing pregnancy. Following pregnancy, an infant individual of the same species as the male and female [[Parent]] individual is expelled from the womb of the pregnant individual. In some cases, multiple individuals can be produced and expelled from a single pregnancy. In other, less fortunate cases, [[miscarriage]] has been known to occur. Miscarriage can cause significant psychological trauma for the would-be mother, and is one of the leading causes of pregnancy related suicide. Pregnancies with the potential to result in miscarriage have known to be 100% preventable by voluntary induced [[abortion]].
