Today is the anniversary of the 1973 Supreme Court decision affirming Americans’ right to choose an abortion.
“Moral” anti-choice activists are attempting to criminalize abortion–in decidedly immoral ways.
A Utah woman has been busted for “lewdness” after her stepchildren walked in on her while she was dressed in pants but no top.
Tilli Buchanan, 27, and her husband had been installing drywall alone in their garage. They both removed their shirts when they became itchy from the industrial fibers.
When his children—her stepchildren—ages 9, 10, and 13 walked in and saw the two working topless, both adults stayed calm. But the children’s birth mother called police.

A new Alabama law requires that felons convicted of having sex with children and now getting out on parole take drugs that will chemically castrate them. If they refuse they can be kept in prison—even if they have absolutely no sexual interest in children.
