This isn't news to anybody. Now... we were busy discussing whether an embryo has a "right to life" beyond it's mother's "right to her own body." >I realize this doesn't fit some people's ideology!

There are also 'scientists' that believe black people are inferior. How do you stand? The creationists learned a long time ago that if you attatch the word 'science' to any irrational concept, stupid people will not question it. -- Charles Forsythe CSDF@MIT-VAX "We pray to Fred for the Hopelessly Normal Have they not suffered enough?" from _The_Nth_Psalm_ in _The_Book_of_Fred_
