New Writings

I follow last week's GOP presidential debate, minute by minute, in this week's North Star column. And on E-Gear, Apple vows to get more environmentally friendly, an at-home winery is closer to widespread release, and the people who stole those cell phones still haven't been caught. Apparently, the security guard on duty was caught washing his car as the robbery was taking place.

Were you in a hurry blogger when writing the column this week? You didn't mention the repeal of Roe v Wade or the evolution question....I even read your column twice to see if i missed it.

1. Roe was not repealed - it was partial birth abortion that was outlawed, which states have always had a right to ban as that is a procedure performed, by its very definition, during viability. The Roe court (later upheld and extended by Planned Parenthood v. Casey) held that before viability there can be no law placing an undue burden on a woman's right to abortion, but after viability, the state could enact a law prohibiting abortion if the purpose is to protect the life and health of the mother. And btw, IAAL (that's right no more IANAL for me), just not your lawyer.

2. That cell phone theft sounds like a forgotten Sopranos subplot.
