    Soon she found herself facing an unlikely predicament. With her U.S. health insurance not covering the mounting medical fees her newborn son requires, the hospital had initially withheld his birth certificate.

    The same liberal Democratic senators who stuck with the White House through six years of politically excruciating votes are set to break away in droves to oppose Obama's free trade efforts. Their goal is to block a bill that greases the wheels for the Trans-Pacific Partnership, an enormous 12-country trade deal that Obama wants -- badly -- to add to his legacy.

    When Congress passed the PATRIOT Act in 2001, it did not intend to authorize the indiscriminate collection of personal information about every American. But that is what Congress will be doing if it renews the law next month without changes aimed at protecting our privacy from an increasingly intrusive national security state.

    Why are they not trying to breed these? instead they decide oh lets just put armed guards around them and not put them in a controlled breeding ground.
  • claireboes on 27 Apr 15
     
    Instead of watching them try and naturally breed, why are they not trying to collect materials so save these animals? (as stated by person above) They have the opportunity to obtain things necessary for artificial insemination and they don't seem to be taking advantage of that. Maybe instead of saying that there were attempts are breeding, but failed, they should do something about this danger of extinction.

    Last month the attorneys general of Oklahoma and Nebraska filed a lawsuit aimed at forcing Colorado to ban marijuana. In my latest Forbes column, I note that the effort has provoked criticism not just from anti-prohibitionists but from conservatives who correctly see it as an assault on federalism.

    President George W. Bush was fond of saying that "9/11 changed everything." He used that one-liner often as a purported moral basis to justify the radical restructuring of federal law and the federal assault on personal liberties over which he presided.

The question at the core of Obergefell v. Hodges is one of the most consequential debates of the early 21st century, and one that is already helping to shape the 2016 presidential race."

    Well if they are already going to die, it's their choice. Obviously don't give to people who aren't in chronic condition. I personally would love to have this choice instead of waiting months watching myself die. They have a right not to suffer

    I understand where he is coming from. Having a rare killing cancer in your body, you can't do much. If the cancer does return and it's non curable I don't see why you would have to sit and wait to die.
