...enzymes in the seminal fluid may somehow aid bacteria in penetrating the cervix and entering the uterus. But both Naeye and obstetricians are cautious about any wholesale proscriptions of sexual activity during pregnancy. They point out that the births studied took place between 1959 and 1966, when the fetal and infant death rate was much higher than now. Thus improved methods of caring for expectant mothers and newborn infants may have obviated some of the harm that could result from sex during pregnancy. Also, the analysis did not take into account the effect of intercourse before the last month...
...when state officials found enough dioxin buried beneath their homes to kill half the earth's population. Several other industrial dumpsites in New York may also be feeding the chemical into nearby rivers; and from Maine to Arkansas to California and Oregon, dioxin has left a trail of sickness, fetal miscarriages and death wherever it has entered the environment...
...abortion is performed every 30 seconds. The three major abortion procedures--dilation and curettage, suction, and use of a saline-solution--correspond to slicing, crushing, and burning the fetus to death. The saline solution, usually used after the twelfth week, is comparable to napalm in its effect on fetal skin tissue (and on the fetus' internal tissues, because the fetus drinks the amniotic fluid). Almost all abortions occur after the sixth week of pregnancy. Electroencepholographs reveal a fetal brainwave pattern at 42 days, and this date probably represents the current limit of EEG technology, not the beginning of brain activity...

This week, at a National Foundation-March of Dimes-sponsored Birth Defects Conference in Chicago, Dr. Louis Bartoshesky of Tufts-New England Medical Center is scheduled to discuss the case of a baby born with signs of fetal alcohol syndrome. Only the father was a heavy drinker...
