...Republican party, walking the middle way on abortion is more like a jog through the gauntlet, and with John McCain it didn?t take much to set the clubs a-swinging. "I'd love to see a point where [Roe vs. Wade] is irrelevant, and could be repealed because abortion is no longer necessary," McCain told the San Francisco Chronicle on a left-coast campaign trip. "But certainly in the short term, or even the long term, I would not support repeal of Roe vs. Wade, which would then force X number of women in America to undergo illegal...
...criminals from coming of age in the 1990s, according to a controversial study, "Legalized Abortion and Crime," by University of Chicago economist Steven Levitt and Stanford University law professor John Donohue III.

Baseball memorabilia is having an MVP year. Last week three new treasures were made: Mark McGwire's career homer No. 500, and Tony Gwynn's and Wade Boggs' career hits No. 3,000.

The 1973 trimester construction of Roe v. Wade seemed at odds with what our eyes could see. Viability comes sooner now (a 1991 study found that 34% of babies delivered at 24 weeks can live).
