Quotes to Note

Pro-abortion feminists consider abortion as the way to allow women to become unpregnant at will -- so as to become as irresponsible as some men. They look upon abortion as a way for women to become like men.

In reality, abortion forces women to surrender to pregnancy discrimination. Pregnant women are made to feel inferior to non-pregnant women. By settling for abortion instead of working for the social changes which would make it possible to combine children and career, pro-abortion feminists agree to participate in a man's world under man's terms.

Pro-abortion feminists have betrayed the majority of working women who want to have children.

Pollution 'changes sex of fish'

A third of male fish in British rivers are in the process of changing sex due to pollution in human sewage, research by the Environment Agency suggests.

A survey of 1,500 fish at 50 river sites found more than a third of males displayed female characteristics.

Hormones in the sewage, including those produced by the female contraceptive pill, are thought to be the main cause.

The agency says the problem could damage fish populations by reducing their ability to reproduce.

It said its study highlighted the need for water companies to develop new treatments.

There has been concern for some time that chemicals, known as endocrine disruptors, are causing fish to change sex.

The latest study is the first to show the scale of the problem in Britain.
