As Executive Director of the American Infertility Association Pamela Madsena says, "no one should reproduce against their will, or without their knowledge or consent.

The House and Senate intelligence-committee leaders have agreed to coordinate their probes loosely to avoid unnecessary duplication of effort. In a rare move, the House panel quietly voted on June 12 to grant all 435 Representatives access to the Iraq intelligence, although a Capitol Hill source said fewer than 10 members outside the committee had reviewed the material...
