The Appellate court reversed a lower court on Thursday and ordered the state’s redistricting commission to start work on new proposed state congressional lines impacting 26 House seats. “We’re looking forward to getting back to work,” said Karen Blatt, the commission’s Democratic co-executive director. “And we’re looking forward to working with our Republican side as well.

As a pro-life activist, I’ve heard flippant feminists and...
