Two billion dollars in bonds
would be issued next year, followed by

Bad drivers would be charged

To ensure the new money is spent

Women actually need to start taking
folic acid before they get pregnant.
That's because the most critical time
for brain and spin development is in
the early stages of the pregnancy.

By the time most women realize
they're pregnant, this development is
already well underway.
