Bid to Legalize Abortion in Argentina Clears First Hurdle in Congress

Argentina’s lower house narrowly approved a measure that would allow women to terminate pregnancies during the first 14 weeks.

Some is better than none.

Birthcontrol is a necessary part of civilized life.
It is neither a good or an evil.

Uncontrolled growth causes the collapse of civilizations and populations.

Cannibalism is evil.

Australia Artist Is Buried Alive to Symbolize Historic Cover-Up

In a nod to Aboriginal history, the artist Mike Parr will spend 72 hours entombed under a road in Hobart, Tasmania.

It is a dramatic sunt.
History belongs to everyone.

The story must be known for the act to be meaningful.

Republican cruelty is a pre-existing condition.

Review: ‘The Affair’ Is Back, and Things Are About to Get Crazy. Again.

Showtime’s and perspective- and time-fracturing soap opera returns for a fourth season of sex, death, psychological baggage and 24/7 childish behavior.

Power, sex, and money.
The real world is enough.

I spent Saturday with extended family.

Sooner is better.  As soon as you can is best.
