The bills that Congress reject are as informative as the ones it does. Reviews of all the legislation that meet their fate in government halls.
The Great Betrayal
It was a crushing day on so many levels. It started with great expectations of a hope-filled future and ended with a devastating slap in the face. The worst of it was realizing how naïve I really had been. I felt so conned and deceived. I pride myself on being discerning, so it was a devastating revelation.

Breaking Down Indiana's New Abortion Legislation
In the wake of the Supreme Court’s decision in June to overturn the constitutional right to abortion, Americans across the nation have been protesting and eagerly awaiting the outcomes in their states regarding legal and accessible abortions and reproductive healthcare. Governor Eric Holcomb of Indiana, the state with the third-highest maternal mortality rate in the country, has just signed the new Senate Bill 1 (SB 1), almost totally banning abortions.

'Private' Domestic Violence Is Now Everyone's Business
Warning: Brief mentions of animal and child abuse. Canada's worst mass shooter, the late Gabriel Wortman, returned to the news as police release information about his extremely violent genealogical history. Wortman's father Paul was highly abusive as was George, Paul's father.
Nicole ChardenetPublished 2 months ago in The SwampNew Laws Demanded by Recent Events
With the Supreme Court ruling overturning Roe v Wade and many states effectively banning all abortion, which will most likely lead to banning many forms of contraception, and with a sizable number of political office holders who fervently believe a ten-year-old should be forced to have a baby, certain laws must logically change to conform to the new rulings. The following are my suggestions:

37 individuals. Most are probably forgotten by the public at large, most, if not all, were probably never even remembered in the first place. Some spent their final moments in a classroom, some in a grocery store, and some celebrating a parade. Some probably experienced some terror in their final moments, maybe some were “mercifully” spared. Some individuals were just beginning their life, while some were beginning a new stage in life. Some of these individuals were fathers, some were mothers, some were brothers, some were husbands, some were wives, some were cousins, and some were friends. Speaking in absolutes though, *all* of the 37 were senselessly, and viciously, executed in mass shootings in the past 60 days in the United States of America.

Oh, You Want An Abortion? Sorry, You Don’t Deserve One
So you supported Donald Trump and his rise to power. You voted red like you always do as a good Christian in your home state, located in the Deep South. You clapped as he stacked the Supreme Court with as many conservative “Christians” as quickly as he possibly could.

A Moment of Silence
On May 24, 2022, twenty-one people in a small town near El Paso, Texas, lost their lives. Of these, nineteen were elementary school children—too young, one would assume, to have done anything which would have warranted such a violent death.
