...child” is unproductive. What our society needs is to understand the reasons why women feel they must need abortions and address those reasons by providing extensive education for all and enacting policies that provide financial support and social support for pregnant women and parents. We need to redirect the attention away from these rare but usually necessary procedures and onto issues impacting those who have already been born—for example, addressing the needs of 13 million children living in poverty. To do otherwise would truly be “morally repugnant...
...have astronauts back in the deep-space game, the money would have to come from somewhere, and pan drippings left over from the shuttle and ISS would not do it. But Bush at first seemed serious, promising to complete the station by 2010, mothball the shuttles after that and redirect the saved resources to the new manned initiatives, all without sacrificing such scientifically priceless-and fiscally prudent-programs as new space telescopes and the growing fleet of interplanetary probes flown mostly by the NASA-affiliated Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL).

His idea: to redirect a branch of the Mississippi through the heart of Terrebonne Parish, the most densely populated in the delta. Shipping lanes would remain routed through New Orleans, but much of the Mississippi would be diverted at Donaldsonville, 90 miles upriver from the city, so sediment-rich waters could revive the ancient...
