Save The Environment For Unborn Babies!

In our ever-continuing national schizophrenia, our government is now worried that unborn babies are being exposed to pollutants while in their mothers’ wombs:

"Unborn U.S. babies are soaking in a stew of chemicals, including mercury, gasoline byproducts and pesticides, according to a report released on Thursday.

"Although the effects on the babies are not clear, the survey prompted several members of Congress to press for legislation that would strengthen controls on chemicals in the environment.

"’Today, chemicals are being used to make baby bottles, food packaging and other products that have never been fully evaluated for their health effects on children — and some of these chemicals are turning up in our blood,’ said New Jersey Democrat Sen. Frank Lautenberg, who plans to co-sponsor a bill to require chemical manufacturers to provide data to the EPA on the health affects of their products."

GET THE STORY.

In other news, The Daily Planet was unable to obtain a comment from Senator Frank Lautenberg on the remarkable disconnect between his concern for the environmental safety of unborn children and his 100-percent voting-record rating by the National Abortion and Reproductive Rights Action League (NARAL).
