Basically these babies can neither think nor feel, and are therefore only human genetically.

In the United States, approximately 1,000 to 2,000 babies are born with anencephaly each year.

About 95% of women who learn that they will have an anencephalic baby choose to have an abortion.

Of the remaining 5%, about 55% are stillborn. The rest usually live only a few hours or days.
Yes, but according to the fundies, their mothers must endure the pregnancy to the end, give birth, and be permanently traumatized by what they just gave birth to.
Many of the women in South Dakota that may get this condition will have to see this horror but they get what they deserve by supporting the Fundies that control their State government.

Or they can simply walk across the state line and get on in surrounding ND, NE, MN, or WY.

There is nothing that suggests the occurance of anencephaly is any higher per capita in Nepal than it is anywhere else in the world.

Leave it upto Rot to try and connect the dots!


A Lot of people have been talking about birth defects on the rise becasue of DU and chernobyl plant accident, Anencephalic birth defects being one of the signs of such, leave it to you to immediately jump to the defense of poisoning all of us with this crap.

Let me guess, agent orange was just a tasty salad dressing brought to our soldiers and civilians in vietnam by our almighty military too?

There's absolutely no doubt whatsoever that DU creates mutations, it is very clear that the surge in deformed babies after the first gulf war was because of DU.
How it would get to what i would a imagine is a small village in Nepal, i cannot imagine.

[edit] Birth defects in Iraq that is!

Many of the women in South Dakota that may get this condition will have to see this horror but they get what they deserve by supporting the Fundies that control their State government.

Or they can simply walk across the state line and get on in surrounding ND, NE, MN, or WY.

The people in SD are in BIG trouble if they have to depend on ND, NE, or WY for appropriate healthcare. I think some retired OB/GYN for MN has been flying in to SD to provide abortions.

She has, she is on a rotation with 3 other doctors who fly out to Sioux City from Minneapolis.

And you're a moron.

The total quantity of radioactive material released (/) area and (-) whatever has a short halflife and has already degraded (=) not much above background.

Case closed. You lose.

We're not talking about 20 miles around Chernobyl (that's going to be contaminated for awhile)... and DU is expensive and not very radioactive.

Please, leave the bullshit for your anti-nuclear-power threads.
