Protecting Fetal Environment – Sr. Margaret John Kelly, DC

Sr. Margaret John Kelly, DC, served as a panelist sponsored by the US Bishops in  educational campaign reminding people that environmental toxins emitted from lead, mercury and greenhouse gasses threaten not just the health of children and adults, but also that of the unborn.

The U.S. bishops have engaged in an educational campaign reminding people that environmental toxins emitted from lead, mercury and greenhouse gasses threaten not just the health of children and adults, but also that of the unborn.

“All the new science indicates that many toxins can penetrate the placenta,” says Sister Kelly, an eight-year member of the USCCB’s domestic social policy committee. “Therefore, the child in the womb is like each of us in the environment.”
