It is simply not enough for universities to say, “Our grants & research offices are looking into how research will be affected by the latest directive.”

University leaders must actively and very publicly make the case for the kind of work many of us do. The silence on this front is deafening.

South Carolina Republicans Reintroduce Bill That Would Punish People Getting Abortions With Death Penalty The bill pushes the doctrine of “fetal personhood,” and makes religious references to “God’s image” within its text.

Republican lawmakers in South Carolina have reintroduced legislation that would make abortion equivalent to murder, meaning that a person who obtains the procedure could be given the death penalty.
