That was an interesting question. You asked about whether there was any differences between the written theology as opposed to a more verbal one. Yeah, the main face that we looked at obviously did have a written. What we didnt look at, and weve actually referred to this in the paper, was the enormous richness of traditional faiths and certainly i can speak mainly in africa, but im sure the truth is in asia where the faiths have been there for years and sometimes in a sink syncrotistic way. More modern faiths such as christianity and islam, we didnt look at those because the diversity of those would have needed a lot more work. All we could see was a very interesting thing, was that there was a considerable enthusiasm among all of the faith leaders for seeing how they could be more involved and actually there was a great opportunity expressed in the work that we did for making faith leaders more aware so that their sacred teachings, the preachings about traditional values could actuall

Theres also a robust literature on Mental Health problems following abortion. These problems include, anxiety, depression, so on number two. State abortion restriction regulations are medically unwarranted.

Historically states have regulated procedures by establishing standards that protect patients from injury and death. The fact is the patient physician interactions do not occur within a vacuum. The issue whether patients have access is a two sided edged issue. This is because you can have access to care which is inadequate being performed by incompetent practitioners or have access to good care. Zip codes do matter.

Can be met and expectations exceeded. At the end of the day, we must never forget our nations veterans. The sacrifice and service to this nation is second to none. Not only does it
