It's already in toothpaste....and probably shouldn't be, definitely shouldn't be in our drinking water.

Fluoride crosses the placenta and enters the fetal brain. Fluoride is known to be biologically toxic, and the fetus is exposed from the moment of conception. It also bioaccumulates in the bone with a half-life estimated at 20 years. How is it possible that this is allowed?

The chemical compounds that are added to “fluoridate” the drinking water, eg hydrofluorocilicic acid, are toxic

Dentists have no training in fluoride’s effects to the human body which doesnt reside in the mouth. All they have are talking points not backed by science to protect organized dentistry’s political viability

Neither my neighbors nor my elected officials have any right using my tax dollars to dose me through my water with a substance for which I have a medical reason to avoid, forcing me to have to buy water for drinking, cooking, and even brushing my teeth!

Fluoride is a medicine. Personally I don’t want the government putting medicine in my drinking water. There are a number of studies which show the adverse effects of fluoride. The slogan, “when in doubt keep it out”. makes perfect sense to me.

Mass medicated in crude and unprofessional. Mass medication is not the way a professional delivers a health or dental care product to his/her patients. How can it be OK for a city or a state to deliver a substance to its entire population; fluoridation is, indeed, public health malpractice.

Will enable more instances as the one in Memphis where ICE incorporate military training & tactics to civilian populous and point weapons at someone's unarmed daughter. There's still rights we protect the people with while in this country. Attempts to further give military a bad image for agendas.

Not only do I not like this map, I don't like the way they split Boone County in half last time either. Kehoe is wrong. Nothing this legislature does represents me and my values.

Don’t like politicians pushing the constitution aside to further their Trump led political agenda!

Me neither. How are they not embarrassed?

This seems like a political form of "bike shedding". Instead of focusing on important conservative legislation, lets move around lines on a map and pretend it makes some kind of improvement in Missourian's lives.
