Brian Greenspun, publisher of the Las Vegas Sun, discusses the importance of voting in a era in which Christofascists (to borrow a term from Michael in Norfolk) would seize control of women’s bodies.

Genevieve Grabman looks at the dismal state of health care for expectant mothers in the United States. It’s not a pretty picture. Here’s how she starts her article (emphasis added):

Fundamental to the preservation of democracy is that citizens play by the rules.
I don’t think it’s a stretch of the imagination realize that one of our two major political parties has decided to stop doing so.
