Supremely Inappropriate: Anti-Trump, for Gorsuch Ginsburg

It gets tiring writing about U.S. Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg’s inappropriate politicking.

Planned Parenthood Ad Proves Waiting Periods Save Lives

Planned Parenthood recently released an advertisement in favor of waiting periods. The ad, perhaps inadvertently, proves that waiting period laws save lives.

Twenty-seven states have made waiting periods laws, […]
