In New Mexico, a taxpayer funded hotline is referring women to Satanic Temple Health (STH) for abortions. Gov. Lujan-Grisham (D) defended this arrangement, calling it "synergistic. One of the unusual difficulties in securing the abortions many women need for their reproductive health is the aversion some medical professionals have to performing the procedure since, in their opinion, it involves the taking of a human life. Rather than become ensnarled in a fruitless debate over this topic, why not cooperate with an organization that considers abortion a sacred right?" "There is no risk that any of the personnel at STH will...

In fact, the Arizona senator sounded downright giddy when he introduced her in Cedarburg. "Isn't this the most marvelous running mate in the history of this nation?" he said. "He's pumped," McCain's longtime aide Mark Salter conceded after watching McCain and Palin in Albuquerque. "He's feeding off the crowds -- you've got these huge crowds, they're wildly enthusiastic and that's going to pump up any speaker. He loves campaigning with her." The duo, who had scarcely met before becoming a team, have begun forging a friendship helped by their irreverent senses of humor, aides say. The McCains and the Palins...

WHILE the international community readies itself for gradual global warming over the next century, a growing number of scientists are beginning to worry that climate change might come much sooner - and be much more catastrophic - than previously thought.
