Voters dont like laws that would eliminate methods of birth control and fertility treatments. So pro-lifers are rebrandingPro-life advocates would like voters to believe that referendums that just happen to define life as beginning at conception are not, in fact, so-called personhood amendments. You know, the kind that will result in a complete ban on abortions, a ban on many forms of contraception, some interference in end-of-life care and the potential end of in vitro fertilization altogether.So its not a surprise that pro-life zealots are, three weeks ahead of Election Day in the US, duplicitously trying to rebrand their totally-not-personhood amendments, rather than, you know, be upfront about the true effects that those laws might have on the people voting for them.

    Denver Post, Saturday - 05/04/2024 - 06:30 AM

    Dear Amy: I am a divorced mom in my early-30s, with primary custody of my 8-year-old child. I have been dating “Ben” for the past two years. He is a great guy and he is very good with my son. We have been talking about getting married. He has never been married before (no kids) and I am gun-shy, to say the least. I own my home, my son is happy, and I am trying to be extremely careful about our future. Last week Ben took me out for a drink.

    Time, Friday - 05/03/2024 - 03:48 PM

    The best Taylor Swift needle drops will make you think about her music a little differently.

  • There’s Yet Another Danger Lurking in Your Gas Stove
    Time, Friday - 05/03/2024 - 03:45 PM

    In a fast-food culture, there may be few things better for your health than making a simple home-cooked meal. But while the meal itself may be a good idea, the cooking part can be a problem—at least if you own a natural gas or propane stove.
