The Bush Admin IS trying to poison fetuses

[JPJones]

Mercury is a dangerous toxin that threatens people and wildlife as a pollutant from coal-fired power plants. The EPA estimates that enforcement of existing toxic air pollution protections in the Clean Air Act will limit mercury pollution to 5 tons per year by 2008. The Bush Administration’s plan weakens the limit to 26 tons per year by 2010 – allowing 520 percent more mercury pollution. A new EPA report discusses the ways pregnant women pass mercury on to their babies, causing mental retardation, but why did the Administration sit on the report for more than nine months and only release it after journalists exposed their findings?

Isn't it a bad sign when pregnant women are warned not to eat fish?

2. Note that Hg causes mental retardation

in much smaller doses than it causes death. What better way to guarantee a new generation of worker critters that vote Puggy?
