The Expectant Mothers Health Protection Act of 2005
I want to see a law passed in this country that guarantees 100% payment of health care costs for all expectant mothers, before, during and after pregnancy, regardless of their ability to pay for the services.
I would also add 100% guaranteed health coverage for the newborn children.

3. Yes, love life!
And there should be more education in the field of solvents that are commonly used and thought not to be harmful... but which in fact are teratogens and cause harm to the developing fetus (child)

http://www.valdezlink.com/teratogens.htm

Now, the one I know the most about is 2-butoxyethanol. http://www.valdezlink.com/same.htm The chemical that causes so much harm that I believe it all by itself to be the cause of gulf war syndrome, CFS, CFIDS and lost of other ailments.

But the point is, that many of the 'gulf war vets' children have had learning disabilities and even have been born with birth defects. http://www.valdezlink.com/gwv_symptoms.htm#child

Moms must be careful of this chemical and so must dads!
They say children of those harmed by this chemical, the butyl ethers; ethylene glycols ... are more at risk for tumor of the brain and leukemia. Are we seeing a rise in these? I think we are

Where did I learn about this chemical, and why?
