4. This is obscene and there's no real science behind it

since FAS has been linked at least as much to paternal alcoholism in animal models. Epidemiological studies haven't yet been done on humans, I suspect no one wants to rock the patriarchal boat and besides, it's fun to harass women you don't know.

We need adequate civil rights protection for women, pregnant or not, so the ERA, which has finally passed the requisite number of foot dragging states, needs to be added to the constitution and busybodies need to find something else to poke their long blue noses into besides our vaginas.

I voted for the ERA in DC. I voted for it again in Mass. I've done my bit, it's time to drag grouchy men into line and have them recognize that women are adult human beings, not perpetual children with no autonomy and no civil rights.

The leading cause of damage to children is POVERTY. And I don't see the busybodies particulraly concerened with taking thzat on.
