Abortion
Clearing out some links from the past year, I came across this abortion-related interview with URI student Antonia Simmons by The Public Radio’s Lynn Arditi. This part makes me wonder if maybe all that’s needed is more education about biology: I am a 20 year old woman and I deserve the right to make my…
It may be Crazy Season, but the rationale Democrats are giving for their votes is enough to make one despair of our nation’s capacity to analyze problem, develop solutions, and survive.
