Each year some 47,000 women around the world die as a result of unsafe abortions.

The first in a series of bills challenging the state’s prison realignment received a cold reception today in the Assembly Public Safety Committee as members rejected legislation that would send sex offenders who violate their parole back to state prisons instead of county jails.

California Lawmakers Tap Rich Loophole in Campaign Finance Law

Surprise, surprise. California lawmakers are increasingly exploiting a legal loophole to skirt campaign finance limits. Does this have a familiar ring?

That allows them to raise unlimited […]
