'I think he had braids'

Jeezum crow, a 17-year-old high school student killed Monday night , Devearl Singletary, was the second kid from his school to be murdered this month. And two more murders: in Broadway East (a rare picture of a victim's feet sticking out of a sheet) and 20-year-old Kevin Pierre was shot to death in the 200 block of Belnord Ave.

The woman who tossed Pine-Sol and bleach at her romantic rival at a Walmart has an unlikely ally: her babydaddy's daddy. "I’m not going to defend my son when he’s wrong. He’s wrong," Fred Culp told the jz.

Jury selection begins today in the civil suit brought by the parents of Philip Parker Jr., an inmate strangled on a prison bus; meanwhile Judge Sylvester Cox is considering letting jurors tour the bus in a darkened garage.

The U.S. Supreme Court has declined to hear arguments in a case in which a UMBC pro-life student group claims its free speech was inhibited by having to relocate a graphic anti-abortion display. Meanwhile, Congress is preparing to debate the "Embryos Before Hos" bill.

I would be careful about taking that Jezebel article at face value. I have no love for pro-lifers, but the really sensationalistic stories about them (remember the claim by Mother Jones that Georgia might make miscarriage a capital crime?) are usually less than entirely accurate.

The real threat to abortion rights in this country doesn't come from boogie-man legislation that'll let women die outside of hospitals rather than get an abortion. It comes from endless smaller restrictions and regulations on abortion clinics that make it close to impossible for even the most well-run clinics to comply with health laws. Look at how VA is trying to regulate abortion providers to death. THAT is what we should be worried about.

you're totally right. But 'embryos before hos' is just too funny.
