Texas abortion ban INCREASES infant deaths!

Basically, a study showed an almost 13% increase in infant death, mainly from genetic/chromosome defects that the mothers were forced to carry to term, where in a more humane society they could have had an abortion and avoided a lot of misery. One in eight.

Still banned? Abortions for ectopic pregnancies, which have an almost zero percent chance of delivering a viable infant, and an extreme risk of mother mortality.

A small town in Alabama gets the right to vote for its town council after SIXTY YEARS

Patrick Braxton was reinstated as mayor. He ran - unopposed - when he learned that his town's leadership had been appointed by white officials who occasionally rotated roles. The mayor and the entire town council appointed themselves and led the town of Newbern, consisting of 133 mostly black residents. Braxton learned the rules for elections and filed for mayor with the county clerk. He won by default as the then-mayor did not file for re-election. And the second day he showed up at town hall, all of the locks had been changed and the council had re-appointed the previous mayor.

Braxton filed suit, and finally a civil rights compromise was reached and Braxton is mayor again. The town's next elections will be in 2025.
