MONTPELIER -- When babies are born here, hospitals usually notify members of the expectant family, share the good news with any inquiring friends -- and contact a specially designated coordinator for the state of Vermont.

Once the newborn goes home, a state worker or volunteer approaches the parents. With permission, the visitor arrives bearing the good wishes of the community, along with story books, immunization cards, ointment, first-aid manuals, and antipoison medicine. If the parents seem to be struggling, the visitor puts them in touch with a state service center. If the situation in the home is dangerous, officials say, the visitor can alert authorities, though they insist that is not the purpose of the program.

''If the parents choose not to accept the visit, the visitors ask, `Would you like to meet someplace else?' If they choose not to have a face-to-face visit, they'll ask for a drop-off point where they can get the information,'' Green said. ''The ones who don't accept a visit, they'll try to get to them in other ways if there's a concern.''

Dean's goal will be to hook up every child under 3 with appropriate services, so that he or she is ready to learn in time for school.

Has Dean ever performed an abortion?

I already know that he is a cowardly draft dodger.

Medically unfit for military service. Just what we need in a Commander in Chief.

To like Dean is to hate America.

The Clinton's redux.

Bubba and Shrillery are miffed by Deans effrontery.

See, he's not so bad. When he's not murdering infants he's destroying the basis of the family.

"Has Dean ever performed an abortion?"

As he will neither admit it nor deny it obviously he's an abortionist. Or a coward.

This is my surmise.

Cowardly baby-killer for Commander in Chief! Yeah, that gets my vote!

"Welcome Baby" We are here to take you away from these dangerous parents who are not PC and want to raise you as they deem right.

And if they resist, we will send people with guns to kill them. And if you get murdered in the crossfire, it is your parents fault for not seeing the greater picture of Doctor Dean's brave new world as has outlined it for all of Amerika.

What is it about M.D.s when they get into politics? We just finished with one as Governor of Oregon, and he chapioned a very similar thing trough the legislature. I don't like the idea here, and I would dislike it as a national policy by orders of magnitude.

>> And if they resist, we will send people with guns to kill them.

But they wouldn't do that, would they? < /stupid question >

Let us be specific here. They will send your friendly neighborhood police officer to murder them.

Police the armed thug of the politician.
