15. Thank you for this good work.
Edited on Mon Jun-01-09 12:57 PM by truedelphi
Just today, I read a letter in the newspaper where I used to work.

A person writing a letter to the editor, complaining that the Morning After Pill was a killer because it was an abortificant as it prevented the "fetus" from attaching to the uterine.

I wanted to reach inside the paper and jab her a good one.

How many wanted babies are prevented from their existence by industrial fumes and from herbicides and pesticides? I lived in Silicon Valley - the "pollutionless" work area, supposedly.

Women working in the "clean" labs where semiconductor chips were developped could not get pregnant,no matter what methods they tried.

After scientists investigated, it was found that certain chemicals in the air prevented the ovum from attaching (Probably) and that is why there was such a high rate of infertility abmong the married women there who were trying to conceive.

But you never see a Pro-Lifer asking for fewer chems in the workplaces. And in many communities, it is the RW Christians who own the paper mills, and the tanning factoires, etc.

Not only do the workers' health suffer, but the pollutants are then released into the air and water, and so affect people not even working in those walls.

It is all such hypocrisy!
