Detroit Students Fight For Their Education – State They Aren’t Dollar Signs
Out of the mouths of babes. On hearing that the schools emergency manager would use his unilateral authority to close nearby Southwest High School, a couple of hundred kids last week walked out of Detroit’s Western High (Mark Maynard’s got video).

In practice, that means the state has banned abortions after about 18 weeks (20 weeks from the last menstruation) […]
