Nebraska would become the first state to outlaw abortions after 20 weeks of pregnancy based on medical evidence that babies at that age feel pain. UPDATE March 30: The bill won 1st round, 38-5. If Bill 1103 were to pass, it would surely face a court challenge and end up in front of the U.S. [...]

The National Institutes of Health (NIH) guidelines for “embryo protection in research,” adopted by President Obama– are proving to be as tough as Barney Fife and as worthless as the public comments overwhelmingly indicated they’d be.
