These sick acts, though disturbingly regular, can be explained as the work of a small, fanatic minority within the movement. What cannot be dismissed, however, is the right to lifers consistent disregard for the ultimate wellbeing of the mother or the fetus. The fetus "right to life" and the mother's right to an abortion (as guaranteed by the Supreme Court in its 1973 ruling) stand in irreconcilable opposition; in singlemindedly promoting the welfare of the unborn, anti-abortionists implicitly if not explicitly discount the concerns of the living.

...Mexico's interest in Central America. We are worried by the political turmoil, the economic crisis and the resulting instability. We cannot disregard the arms buildup. We have been very clear on the need to ensure that there is absolutely no foreign intervention in Central America.

...overwhelming impression the effort gives is that after seven years of pushing at boundaries, the Heads have taken a step back--into the street, away from the art school perhaps. What the new album amounts to is Remain in Light stripped down to essentials. Disregard for a moment David Byrne's lead singing. Though he's mellowed a bit, he yelps and grimaces vocally, much in the same way he did for the first album. But words have taken on less significance in and of themselves for T-Heads and are more an integral part--almost as instruments unto themselves...
