From the Los Angeles Times: In a move that some called historic, the county’s oldest African American civil rights group voted Saturday to endorse same-sex marriage.

Late last Spring I became increasingly convinced that a major area not tackled by the pro-life movement in any coordinated fashion is the new eugenics movement in fetal medicine. Specifically, increasing numbers of physicians are advising, demanding, and even coercing women to abort babies diagnosed with what have become known collectively as “Poor Prenatal Diagnoses.” [...]
