WTF? 50 years?
Today, French lawmakers unanimously approved a bill exonerating women punished for abortion before it was legalized in 1975.
This "is an act of justice toward those thousands of lives shattered by unjust laws," said Aurore Bergé, minister-delegate for gender equality.

France exonerates women convicted over abortions before legalisation
Between 1870 and 1975, more than 11,660 people were convicted for performing or seeking an abortion, according to official estimates.

Muting a Black woman to claim the vote was unanimous is so incredibly on the nose
The White House claims the vote to rename the Kennedy Center was “unanimous.” That is false. I was muted on the call and denied the opportunity to speak or register my opposition. That is not consensus. That is censorship.

One of the first hominids, Hispanopithecus, lived 11 million years in what is now Catalonia. They are believed to have lived largely on tree canopies, only descending to take part in occasional sardanes. They did not have control of fire, and were therefore forced to eat their bruschettas soggy.

This is an important read by a researcher who has investigated the many deceptive and harmful practices of unregulated pregnancy centers in the US. It's astounding what these fake clinics are allowed to get away with.

Kaine: "I couldn't watch that video and say, 'Okay, America says that's okay,' then think about McCain getting shot down in North Vietnam & say, 'But it would've been wrong for the North Vietnamese to kill them rather than capture them.' If the US says this is okay, why wouldn't that have been okay"

I’ve read that the men’s toilet is on the left, because women are always right.
Thanks a lot bathroom doors with the gender written in weird symbols. I just want to pee, not solve a sudoku puzzle.
