...health services than non-adoptive parents. Yet after studying more than a thousand children, both adopted and not, Margaret Keyes warns that assumption may be flawed. The Minnesota psychologist and her colleagues found that disparity could be due as often to innate factors such as perinatal care or his birth parents' genes. "The deleterious effects may quite possibly have come before the adoption ever took place," Keyes, the study's lead researcher, says...

They discerned in the Council a call to greater church democracy, and an assertion of individual conscience that could stand up to the authority of even the Pope.

This restriction unfairly affects certain demographics who are not in the position to acquire a state ID, like the poor, the elderly, and the disabled. Furthermore, the evidence that the Court cites to justify its fear about voter fraud is weak at best. The Court?...
