Mindi Messmer is a New Hampshire Democrat. That means with few exceptions terminating a pregnancy from conception to birth. You’ll be hard-pressed to find another sort. So, to hear her claim to care about a fetus, you’d be right to ask what the government has to gain from that stance?

First, for added context, Messmer is so indifferent to life before birth she voted against treating their unplanned deaths as a crime. So, keep that in mind as you read this.
Mindi Messmer, of Rye, who is running for a seat on the Executive Council and is the co-founder of New Hampshire Safe Water Alliance, wrote the law creating the stricter standards. … Messmer said these chemicals were specifically chosen for regulation after their detrimental effects on unborn children and babies was scientifically recognized.
Suspension of disbelief is essential to audience immersion in many forms of entertainment. This isn’t passable as fiction, and it is unbelievable as reality.
To Messmer, an unborn child isn’t even a person. Criminals have more rights. But now we are supposed to believe that because she is a co-founder of the New Hampshire Safe Water Alliance, and wrote the standard I’ve repeatedly called ridiculously low, that the unborn is a concern?
Messmer is working an emotional issue related to something we all need (water) while running for political office and relying on science that is considerably lacking. There is no consensus. People who work with much higher rates of exposure to PFOA and PFAS than anyone recommends for local water supplies have never reported higher than normal rates of cancer than the general population.
Can long term rates of high exposure lead to a risk of cancer? Yes. And fluoride is toxic to humans. The dose makes the poison. Many things are beneficial in lower doses and harmful at higher concentrations. And we simply do not have any evidence that anyone is at risk from 70 ppt instead of the ridiculously low 12 ppt Messmer and the Democrats are trying to force down our throats.
The idea that New Hampshire should redirect millions to meet some arbitrary number made up by Mindi Messmer (in this case) to save unborn babies she can’t even recognize as people is absurd.
If we’re smart, we can still modify our water standard to the EPA’s recommended number and feel both safer and save ourselves and our money from the likes of Mindi Messmer.
