<<I'm searching for GMO now, I've never heard of it.
It's Genetically Modified.

That's appalling. If their children were going blind, they'd be grateful enough for that rice.>>

But they've been told Genitically Modified Organisms are bad. Think about the GMO tomato we couldn't accept. The only difference was it didn't rot as fast.

Gmo is also done through hybredization and been done for years. Way back to the Incas. You know corn was originally
tripsicum dactylaides? That's a plant that has 8 seeds on the top of the main branch. I have some in my garden, and I have 200 acres of corn. They don't look very much alike.

One of the best search engines, IMO, is webtop. webtop.com

The same people designed Euroferret which no longer updates. webtop provides the top headlines , if there are any, as well as the sites. Has drop and drag features.

Having lived in various parts of the "third world" for 14 years, I wonder about providing abortion advice. Abortions are an expensive form of birth control. The health needs are so great, where will the women that are hearing about them, actually be able to get one? I can see providing knowledge about abortions as a means of convincing those that want to promote abortion to provide funds, which will get staff into the countryside or provide for a clinic which can be used for regular health care. Perhaps things have changed. When I gave blood for a hospital emergency, in a rural city, the only hospital sent someone out to buy the transfusion bag. They had no inventory.
