It does not provide an exception relating to the health of the fetus — apparently their view is that living with whatever horrific problem might be discovered is preferable to "dying." It does provide an exception for saving the life of the mother, but it specifically excludes "psychological or emotional conditions"…

You're just wrong about Chicago.
Fair enough. Dibs is one thing about living in Chicago that really gets me riled up!
Does it look like this person did a lot of shoveling to "earn" the right to call dibs?
I'm very anti-dibs, and I'm glad to live in a neighborhood that, for whatever reason, just doesn't do it. This story is a good example of how out of control it is. The snow we've had in the last couple weeks hasn't even required shoveling out — it's been light and fluffy, and even with five or so inches, it's easy to…
The best possible outcome for him now is that he would get a new trial — that's what he's asking for. The appeal that's happening now is not of his conviction — that appeal happened more than a decade ago and was denied. What he's appealing now is the trial court's denial of a petition asking for a new trial based on…
Now that Jay's latest version of the story is that they were burying Hae's body in Leakin Park around midnight — several hours later than he testified at trial — that pretty much puts all that cell phone evidence in the toilet. What cell towers were pinging at 6 pm or 7 pm (the calls the focused on at the trial)…
YES I DO! Thank you!
Haven't been as impressed with a celebrity lil sis since Khloe Kardashian reached down and pulled her baby out with her own hands.
It was the last day of exam week of my first semester of law school. I had to do two things: turn in a take-home exam and go to health services to pick up a prescription. Health services was halfway across campus, so I borrowed my friend's bike. I cruised over there, never having to stop at a stop-sign or anything. I…
The day that was posted was the first day I ever visited jezebel.com. Literally my first impression of this website. I will never be over that story. I think about it often. And it is way grosser than this pumpkin seed business.
Me too, but I also wish I could believe it was intellectual curiosity and not a constant attempt to overcome a sense of never being good enough, which is heartbreaking.
whoops, I was so busy going away to perform my investigative research that I didn't realize you'd already updated in the meantime. #teamtrebek, anyway.
I just went and read a Jeopardy discussion website. Their reading is this, and it makes perfect sense: the girl got really upset when she lost the game, so much so that she didn't come back on stage to stand in her place during the closing credits of the show, as is usual for contestants, apparently even those who…
I saw this. I don't actually remember his actual words when he told the little girl that she wouldn't be playing final jeopardy. But I do remember the extremely awkward moment at the opening of the next day's show, in which he said something along the lines of, "well, you know, yesterday we had an emotional situation,…
Me too! I'm 41, never touched it. A couple times as a kid the drive-thru screwed up and gave me a not plain cheeseburger, so my mom wiped everything off with a napkin, so I probably ate a couple buns that had some residue in there. But I try not to think about that.
Yes it's great. It's sort of Downton Abbey meets Mad Men plus a healthy dose of sisters-doing-it-for-themselves feminism.
I've been binge-watching Call the Midwife for the last week, so the thought of an Englishwoman pregnant is all 1960s costumes to me. She would look great!
Just like any creator of a text — whether it's a novel, a movie, a tv show — Sorkin is putting an idea out there in that text. If Aaron Sorkin has a top-secret personal belief or opinion about the moral obligation of disbelieving rape victims that is different from the one he unambiguously put out in the world through…
