Wednesday’s ill-considered decision will have the worst possible repercussions for American women. It will propel the anti-abortion movement forward until the nation finds itself a repressive land of back-alley abortions. The Supreme Court has no more notion of what goes on in an operating room than it does in a woman’s mind—and it should not presume to legislate on either...
...hitting catchers (though certainly not throwers) of all time. If Thomas belts 11 more home runs and gets to 500 for his career, count him in. Only steroid whispers can keep Sosa out of the Hall. Even Fred Claire, ex-GM of the Los Angeles Dodgers and a career anti-DH National Leaguer, admits that "on the plus side of the ledger, the DH lets guys that have been great players continue to have a role.

"The association with al-Qaeda is a real and major preoccupation." But, says Chaboud, such a partnership has yet to give rise to even a nascent federation of al-Qaeda groups across north Africa. Even within borders, jihadist groups remain disparate, atomized, and insulated to prevent infiltration...
