don't take this as being too antagonistic, but if this were true why doesn't the superbike championship admin outlaw the use of helmets for it's races in the name of safety?

have you ever met someone with brain damage from cracking their head on the pavement?

i find it hard to believe that helmets don't prevent injury.. that why we have a SKULL instead of a nutsack around our brains.

sure i see the argument from personal freedom.. but to say that helmets increase injury..... well im not going to pretend i know for 100% sure.. and i will be doing some research after this.. but i'll tell you right now i feel far more comfortable riding with a helmet than without... and i don't trust stats without other opposing/more impartial sources
we also have seatbelt laws BTW too.. i trust you have no negative data on this?

As far as whether or not there are chicks out there using abortion as a form of birth control, granted, there are not many, but there are some, and that is disturbing.
of course there are a few.. but not enough to warrant the constant referral to them, it shows how far the pro-lifers strawmen have insinuated themselves into everyday conversation..
