Finally, Chile Lifts Its Abortion Ban. Apparently, this was started during the reign of Augusto Pinochet and has been in place ever since. Now, it’s not a total reversal but it is a start. It’s a small step in the right direction … Continue reading →

Posted on March 30, 2017 by Silverwynde

I found this diamond of a turd via Dispatches From the Culture Wars. It’s a helluva doozy and that is putting it mildly: Iowa just gave parents reproductive control over their unmarried daughters. Seriously. 7. A cause of action for injunctive relief to … Continue reading →
