"If you are neutral in situations of injustice, you have chosen the side of the oppressor. If an elephant has its foot on the tail of a mouse and you say that you are neutral, the mouse will not appreciate your neutrality." --Bishop Desmond Tutu

Does this mean that gays are born that way, too?

Another conservative religidiot mathom falls by the wayside. Apparently, using that wacky technique called "science," some smart people figured out that having an abortion does not cause depression, or so-called "post-abortion syndrome." (NOTE: so-called "post-abortion syndrome" is a meaningless term in the same way "enemy combatant" is a meaningless term)
A team at Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore reviewed 21 studies involving more than 150,000 women and found the high-quality studies showed no significant differences in long-term mental health between women who choose to abort a pregnancy and others.
150,000 women seems like a good statistical sample to me. And they studied all English language studies from 1989 and 2008 to draw these conclusions.
"The best quality studies indicate no significant differences in long-term mental health between women in the United States who choose to terminate a pregnancy and those who do not," they wrote.
Isn't that amazing?
Science. It works, bitches!
