...step in. The bill they passed last month, HB 1215, bans all abortion, including in cases of rape and incest, including cases that threaten the health of the mother; the only exception is if the mother?s survival itself is at risk, and even in those instances the doctor must ?make reasonable medical efforts under the circumstances to preserve both the life of the mother and the life of her unborn child.? Doctors caught performing abortions would be charged with a Class 5 felony, punishable by up to five years in prison...
...company that developed Plan B and now president of the Alan Guttmacher Institute, a reproductive-health research group. Because the drug's effectiveness drops 50% every 12 hours and is limited to the first 72 hours after unprotected sex, proponents of Plan B say any obstacle--a doctor who is unavailable to write a prescription or a pharmacy that is out of stock--runs down the clock toward an unplanned pregnancy.

Considering the fact that there are laws restricting how much pain butchers (for lack of a better word for people who work in slaughterhouses) are allowed to subject animals to, there should be a legal limit to how much pain...
...BEST OF YOUTH MARCO TULLIO GIORDANA The lives of two brothers--one a doctor, one a soldier--mesh and collide over 40 years in this fascinating and often moving six-hour drama. Six hours? Yep. Too long for a sit in a movie house, but just right for an evening or two's home adventure. This is old-fashioned filmmaking--beautiful people facing horrible problems--at its most seductive. At times it strains to represent every aspect of late 20th century Italy in one family (a Red Brigades radical is told to kill a prominent attorney, who is--her brother...
