"....Someone needs to figure out what the hell is going on, or we're going to have much bigger problems than global warming. In the seventies, it used to be one in ten thousand children were autistic. Now it's one in a hundred fifty. What will it take for people to wake the hell up? One in five children will be autistic, and then what - we can't procreate anymore? If I were a young woman wanting to get pregnant, I would be very afraid...very...afraid."

-- from Louder Than Words, By Jenny McCarthy

This is not to say that we all should really be petrified to have kids! Of course not, and I'll have to disagree with my hero on that part :) We just have to exercise more caution when it comes to the things we are so used to considering "regular stuff" (i.e. vaccinations)
