New Scientology Wackiness
The more you hear about this cult, the less appealing it becomes. LiveScience reports that scientologists are challenging newborn screening because they fear it interferes with their stupid "silent birth" ritual. Apparently, L. Ron also didn't believe in breastfeeding, even though the government is now saying bottle feeding is "risky".

I say, we let anyone who doesn't want the screening skip it. When their children die at a higher rate than other peoples, well, it will be a self-correcting problem. Yeah, yeah, the children are innocent and don't deserve this kind of crap, but what are you going to do? My advice is to stop caring.

Your website makes some good points. However, to use the material in a real debate would require more sources of information, especially for statistics claimed. Otherwise, it runs the risk of being dismissed as another 'moonbat left-wing blog'. The GOP likes to hear facts and figures before they resort to ad homs, strawmen and slippery-slope logical fallacies once their claims are refuted. Just my thoughts. And the Coulter-Hitler test rocks. But again, sources (such as when and where the quote occurred) would give it more merit in a debate.

Enjoy!
