Jun. 26th, 2013 05:00 pm- Texas abortion bill defeated after missing deadline | World news | guardian.co.uk
The bill would have banned abortions in the state after the 20-week gestation mark, limit abortion-inducing drugs and require terminations to be performed in ambulatory surgical centres. Advocates say these and other restrictions in the bill would have also triggered the closure of 37 of the state's 42 abortion clinics.

- Michigan bans women representatives for using the V-word - Telegraph
... in a debate about abortion. There's an argument that it was for the context of the use: "And finally, Mr. Speaker, I'm flattered that you're all so interested my vagina, but 'no' means 'no.'", but that's not an argument that the people supporting it seem to be using much; given comments like "It was so offensive, I don't even want to say it in front of women. I would not say that in mixed company." Also, I am wondering if the telegraph was trolling with their original title for this story: "Michigan bans women representatives for vagina use"
