Christian environmental group says the EPA's new rule on mercury pollution is a pro-life issue

Christian environmental group says the EPA's new rules on mercury pollution is a pro-life issue | MLive.com: Rev. Tracey Bianchi, an evangelical pastor and mother from suburban Chicago, argues mercury poisoning is a pro-life issue because it can cause permanent brain damage and developmental disabilities in the unborn.

The campaign also includes billboards in Arizona, Pennsylvania and Ohio and emails to nearly 10 million evangelicals and Catholics. "One in every six babies in the U.S. are born with harmful mercury levels in their blood," said the Rev. Mitch Hescox, Evangelical Environmental Network president. "Pro-life members of Congress should be doing everything they can to protect the unborn from this threat, For the life of me, I can't understand why some are trying to block the EPA from regulating mercury levels when they know the unborn will pay the price."

Cal Beisner, founder and national spokesman for the Cornwall Alliance for the Stewardship of Creation, responds
