Bishops object to research on abortion methods
The National Conference of Catholic Bishops in Washington reaffirmed the traditional defense of fetal life while condemning efforts by the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development to develop early abortion methods. They argued that parents and doctors should decide, not government officials, and called for repeal of restrictive laws amid a rising trend in courts. A Modern Medicine poll showed 62.8 percent of doctors favored abortion on demand with legal consent to a competent physician.

The result is water scarcity, dying cattle, and stark poverty in villages like Sells where wells and plumbing are scarce.
