I don't see why they shouldn't be included. I remember Toady saying in a DF Talk that if you can prove something existed before the 1400s (the historical cut off point for DF) then it could be included.AFAIK you remember it wrong. Toady is against guns, amen.
Checked: "They concluded that having an abortion or miscarriage does not increase a woman’s subsequent risk of developing breast cancer." (http://www.cancer.gov/cancertopics/factsheet/Risk/abortion-miscarriage)"deliberate misinformation" - where? How?
The breast cancer thing. Haven't had a chance to look it up myself, but friends are saying it's a lie. I can't think of why such a connection would exist, myself. Coupled with the striking out of motions, even from medical professionals, to strike that part out of bill, it just reeks of intentional misinformation.
It is bit more complex - part of people believe that it is protecting victims (=fetus)."worst possible kind of interaction between religion and government" - Heh. I really dislike overstatements like this. There many worse ideas, by orders of magnitude. One example: "Because rape is equated with zina-adultery/fornication-under Hudud law, rape victims are required to produce four pious male witnesses." [after rape islam girl google search]
The common principle between these two examples is they're both religiously motivated and serve no real purpose otherwise other than to create victims.
A great example of the worst possible kind of interaction between religion and government.
[...] However, deliberate misinformation disgusts me, and this legislation is frivolous and harmful given the current abortion trends listed in the article.
Yeah and I think it would give siege weapons more application than right now - a cannon loaded with grape shot would actually be a reasonable defense against a wave of goblins (And it would be awesome to read the reports).We have siege weapons. And Toady is against guns - so no guns (except modding).
