I'm sorry, but that was a poorly written article. He goes on and on about how well the intactivists did at the hearing and how

The senators and their supporters were obviously not expecting any kind of competition, and they got their asses handed to them.

I have reason to suspect otherwise. I have friends who study public policy and go to many local, state, and federal hearings and from what they've told me about concerned citizens and organizations is that they always come woefully unprepared. I have no reason to think otherwise in this instance based on the article.

The remark about circumcision preventing spina bifida was not addressed in the text but when the idiocy of the assertion was pointed out in the comment section the article's author responded:

Wow. Thanks for that insight, DN...

Instead of actually researching the points made by his opponents he just asks a bunch of rhetorical questions throughout the article and I have no reason to believe that they behaved any differently at the hearing. The fact that he didn't take the time to research the assertions made by his opponents shows that they were not prepared when they went in. If I had a copy of the email that mentioned spina bifida I would forward it to a number of organizations that deal with the disorder because I'm sure they would have a few words for the senator who made such wild claims.
