3 Drollinger says the Bible doesn’t permit women to teach men, but does have some “unambiguous responsibilities” for women: homemaking, home management, mothering, teaching younger women, displaying hospitality, and dressing modestly

Thanks to reporting from various sources, we now know that at least 14 GOP lawmakers (nine senators, three governors, and two congressmen, both from CA) are tied up in various segments of Bob Mueller's probe into election interference in 2016.
Six are tied in due to money they got from Russian oligarchs Viktor Vekselberg and Len Blavatnik. They are Sens. Mitch McConnell (MS), Marco Rubio (FL), Lindsey Graham (SC), and John McCain (AZ), along with Govs. John Kasich (OH) and Scott Walker (WI).

It has become even clearer to me today that a whole lot of pro-choice people sincerely believe late-term abortions only happen to save a mother's life. Sadly, this is not true.
This subject really merits a longer article, and I've written about it a little in relation to the 20-week abortion ban Congress considered this term. But a few quick points.
"Mother's health" exemptions are often invoked to argue that late-term abortions are always medically necessary. But ever since abortion was legalized, abortion-rights jurisprudence has defined "mother's health" incredibly expansively.
