Looking Upward

Sometimes, when following the news, it is hard to find the "good stuff" in and among the poison ivy. I'm guilty of it. I spend way too much time on this blog focusing on the negatives - but it's hard to come up with the stuff that is smart. But I really like this one proposed bill in Congress which would work to reduce abortions by increasing opportunities rather than by limiting choice...


The legislation contains initiatives including expanded access for contraception for low-income women, adoption tax credits, increased funding for health care for low-income mothers and children, home visits by nurses for new mothers, grants for unintended pregnancy reduction and funding for day-care programs and child-care centers on college campuses.

Read more about the sponsors and the likely failure of the proposal on Vindy.com.
