The American Thoracic Society estimated that stricter ozone regulations would only prevent 8,000 deaths a year, OR a death toll approximately two and a half times that of 9/11 (repeated every year). This may be a small price to pay for freedom from burdensome regulation. To make an omelet you gotta break some eggs, right? Some might find this incompatible with a culture of life, but at least it’s not abortion, right? Granted there’s evidence that links ozone and ambient carbon monoxide on low birth weight, fetal death, and spontaneous abortion, but those scientific facts probably come from elitist scientists who will say anything to keep their funding. Right?
