VM -“if they were in fact interested in protecting babies’ health.”
I don’t think you understood my point. I don’t think the Gov. has any business getting involved, even though they claim to care about Jewish babies. I’ve had too much experience with their love towards Yidden – that to me it’s only the fox guarding the hen house. If they care about human babies -how about regulating Abortion? (I mean much more regs.) Notice I didn’t say stopping it totally because that is protected by the Supreme Court. But regulating it would probably pass Federal Court scrutiny. So, I don’t live in some sort of dream world.
But my problem is -two wrongs don’t make a right. While I agree that these orgs. should fight these regs. -I don’t agree with their attitude -that there is no problem. Why do our leaders & our orgs. always put their head in the sand when it comes to important issues? I could post a long list of everything that’s been swept under the carpet, but that would be off topic.
I don’t think they do this because they don’t care about kid’s health, but because they are not versed in science they end up doing what’s PC in the Frum comunity.
If they want to address the issue of MBP -they should start by implementing a guideline that would make MBP virtually safe for everyone!
