The biggest danger to fetuses is George W. Bush

According to a report released today by the Environmental Working Group, the unborn--ultimate treasures of the Christian right, George W. Bush, and the Republican senators who voted that it was just fine for them to be exposed to pesicides--are indeed soaking in a veritable witch's brew of toxins. Mercury, gasoline byproducts, fire retardants, and yes--pesticides--were found among 287 contaminants present in the blood of ten umbilical cords.

From the report:
Of the 287 chemicals we detected in umbilical cord blood, we know that 180 cause cancer in humans or animals, 217 are toxic to the brain and nervous system, and 208 cause birth defects or abnormal development in animal tests.
Hey soccer moms and NASCAR dads: The Bush administration is poisoning your children, born and unborn. They don't give a damn about fetuses, and neither do you.
