The Flint MI water crisis has apparently led to a decrease in fertility and according to the media less welfare babies is a bad thing

I agree somewhat, S54; poor people tend to get the shitty end of the stick, but that's the way our system works. Money talks, etc. But I believe government should make sure drinking water is safe, that seems pretty basic. You shouldn't have to be wealthy to get decent water. Anyway...
It's interesting to note that all the early news stories about Flint's water focused on the cognitive effects on chyldren. Now we find out that lead screws up adults' fertility. Is there anything in news media that doesn't somehow link back to Kyds? And no, infertility is not the worst thing that can happen to anyone, despite what some think.
