TWO TOUGH QUESTIONS
Question 1:
If you knew a woman who was pregnant, who had 8 kids already, three who were deaf, two who were blind, one mentally retarded, and she had syphilis, would you recommend that she have an abortion?



Read the next question before looking at the answer for this one.

Question 2:

It is time to elect a new world leader, and only your vote counts.

Here are the facts about the three leading candidates.

Candidate A -

Candidate C -
