Quick Bits
Feministing also is very dubious as to single sex education in public schools below the college level. After watching Democracy Now! discuss fears the U.S. government is getting too involved in the upcoming election there, I read that Nicaragua passed a complete ban on abortions. Not that the "life" exception meant much in practice. It is suggested that over 32K illegal abortions are performed there annually, often in dangerous conditions. Too many disgusting Republican campaign things to list ... the NJ ruling should provide some more fodder for their little minds.
