    The law was enacted decades before Arizona became a state on Feb. 14, 1912. A court in Tucson had blocked its enforcement shortly after the U.S. Supreme Court issued its 1973 Roe v. Wade decision guaranteeing the constitutional right to an abortion.

    Benjamin Franklin had a good idea that laws should sunset after 20 years and have to be renewed. Maybe we need to look into something like that so when we think things are settled, we don’t go back to the stone ages due to a federal court re-reinterpreting the law.

      The good news is that it is not all of the country. The bad news is that cons still have undue influence.

      I recently finished listening to the Fantasyland audiobook…I noticed that many of the problems seemed to be a problem of the right. He does address a few issues that are mostly liberal/left things, but there just wasn’t that much to talk about, really? The left’s fear of GMOs? Meh. But the overall picture of how much ridiculousness Americans embrace is a depressing one.
