Mercury reg. proposal 'watering down pro-life message'

Mercury reg. proposal 'watering down pro-life message' (OneNewsNow.com): The Evangelical Environmental Network claims one in six babies born in America are exposed to harmful levels of mercury through their mother's consumption of fish that ingest mercury from power plants. They're casting it as a pro-life issue.

Cal Beisner, founder and national spokesman for the Cornwall Alliance for the Stewardship of Creation, says the left-leaning group is "grossly" exaggerating the numbers that are actually more like one in 1,000. "In abortion, you have the intentional killing of a baby in every procedure, and to compare that with a hardly detectable delay in neurological development that disappears in two to seven years we think is quite mistaken, and we recognize that it's an attempt really to water down the pro-life message."
