Crickey-it’s possible to imagine that without restrictive abortion laws these cases of sexual abuse would be much less visible. I still don’t think that children should be being forced to go through pregnancy.

STILL.…this girl was being robbed of her childhood and autonomy.

I’m reading all the glowing tributes to Bob Dole, none of them start with “Whatever you think of him as a person and a public figure.”

What did she do, exactly, to be referred to in this manner?

More broadly, why do we always cave to Republicans on our opinion of our leaders?

We gave up our right to abortion because she was so terrible. We elected Donald Trump as president because she was so bad. What was it about her, exactly, that made us do that?

“ A pregnant 19-year-old woman in India was allegedly decapitated with a sickle by her younger brother, who then posed for a selfie with her severed head along with their mother.

The horrific murder—deemed an honor killing after the woman eloped with her fiance without her family’s consent—took place in the western Indian state of Maharashtra on Sunday, according to the BBC. Both the young man, identified as Sanket Mote, and the pair’s mother, identified as Shobhabai Mote, have been arrested in connection with the murder of the woman, named Kirti Avinash Thore.

“Kirti was preparing tea when Sanket attacked her from behind with a sickle while the mother caught her daughter’s legs,” Kailash Prajapati, Assistant Police Commissioner, SDPO Vaijapur told local media. “He beheaded her and brought the head outside the house. We suspect that the mother and son took a selfie with her head. We have sent the phone to the forensic lab to try and retrieve the photo. The duo then left on the bike.”
