right?

Does anyone know the current status of the Unborn Child Pain Awareness Act
(S.51) in the
US Congress?
This is the bill which would require doctors to tell women considering
abortions that a fetus
feels pain by 20 weeks of age. It's sponsored by Senator Sam Brownback, Kansas
Republican.

Dear Tipsters,
At one time, the degrees of "mental retardation" were identified by the
adjectives moron, imbecile and idiot, terms that we do not officially use
today. However, when Binet's test was used to define them, this was a big step
forward from the previous rather subjective judgments
Well, one of my colleagues,
Bill Maclean, is currently editor of the American Journal of Mental
Retardation. I forwarded the original message to Bill to get his thoughts, and
I'll send his response to the list when he gets back to me.

Chris,
I should clarify that I DO NOT use “mentally retarded”. I use
Mental Retardation as a classification, and then, if I must refer to an
individual, I will say a person who suffers from the condition, not a “mentally
retarded” individual.

I agree that Matlin is an excellent text and I know that it is used at lot

My recommendation is for Goldstein. I found he does the best job of
breadth, depth and readability.
Reed and Maitlin tend to be a bit thin and, I have to disagree with
Karen, not as up to date.

I have used Matlin in the past and feel that it is a
good lower level Cognitive text. I currently use
Galotti and am very happy with it but it is probably
more of a Jr level undergrad text. It is a couple
steps up from Matlin.
A lot will depend on how ready your students are.
