DR OZ: "Schools are a very appetizing opportunity. I just saw a nice piece in The Lancet arguing the opening of schools may only cost us 2 to 3%, in terms of total mortality. Any, you know, any life is a life lost, but ... that might be a tradeoff some folks would consider."

O brave new world that has such people in it.

They don't care about life only stopping abortions.

But, as Ben Carson and Rand Paul also demonstrate regularly, one shouldn't be taken in by credentials. Expertise in doing one thing doesn't translate into general capability.
