A robbed identity makes Canadians rush to import active cultures ... boils down to an economic argument. Immigrants have generated or may generate money. Therefore, we need them.

- 20867: The Ambivalence of Abortion
- ... child. Unfortunately, sometimes a mother can run the risk of death if they go through with the pregnancy.
