Law 'does not prohibit' sex-selection abortions, DPP warns - Telegraph:
"The British Medical Association (BMA) updated its guidance in the wake of an investigation by the Telegraph to advise doctors that "there may be circumstances, in which termination of pregnancy on grounds of fetal sex would be lawful".
The disclosure is expected to spark fury among dozens of MPs who have criticised the medical establishment for seeking to redefine abortion laws.
Keir Starmer, the Director of Public Prosecutions, today publishes a detailed memorandum explaining the controversial decision by the Crown Prosecution Service not to prosecute two doctors who agreed to arrange illegal abortions based on the sex of an unborn baby."

Supreme Court term begins amid government shutdown; Michigan case on racial preferences on agenda | Crain's Detroit Business:
"Among other top cases already set for review:
Michigan is fighting to preserve a constitutional amendment that bans the use of racial preferences in education after a federal appeals court ruled that the constitutional ban is itself discriminatory.
This case, unlike last term's look at a University of Texas admissions plan, does not involve the viability of affirmative action, but rather whether opponents of racial preferences can enshrine that ban in the state constitution."

Obama's MSM somehow missed this one: Leukemia patient loses his insurance coverage because of Obamacare regulations
VIDEO: Leukemia patient loses his insurance coverage because of Obamacare regulations
“I’ve worked hard because I’ve had to, and I’ve had to, because cancer runs in my family,” says Cerpok, who picked his current health insurance based on that family history.
His monthly premium is just about half of his monthly take-home pay.
Back in 2006, he found out he had an incurable form of leukemia that requires ongoing treatment until he dies.
In 2012, his treatment bill was more than $350,000.

In 2012, his treatment bill was more than $350,000.
But because of his insurance, his out-of-pocket was only $4,500.
That’s about to change because Michael just got a letter from his insurance carrier saying as of January 1, he would be dropped from coverage because of new regulations under Obamacare.

His doctor at the Mayo Clinic may be gone as well.
“Now it doesn’t mean I can’t go see my current doctor, but my $4,500 out-of-pocket, is going to turn into a minimum of $26,000 out-of-pocket to see the doctor that I’ve been seeing the last seven years,” he said.
Remember when Obama said, “If you like your plan, you can keep it.”

Boy suspended after using finger as pretend gun
Boy suspended after using finger as pretend gun | News - Home:
HARMONY, Fla. -
The mother of an 8-year-old Central Florida boy is fighting back after her son was suspended from school for using his finger as a play gun.
Bonnie Bennett said her son, Jordan, was suspended Friday at Harmony Community School in Osceola County after playing cops and robbers with another student.
“There was nothing in his hand. He used his thumb and index finger,” said Bennett. “It was a game. He made no threatening advances or threats to harm anyone. No words were said.”
Bennett said she would have been satisfied with some form of punishment but is worried now that since he's been suspended, her son will be seen as a violent child.
“They took a child that has never been in trouble before and went to the extreme,” said Bennett. “A child that has no history of violence is now classified as a violent offender.”
But the Osceola County School District said it wasn't just a simple game.
A school representative said the district can't comment on the specifics of what happened because of confidentiality, but after reviewing the entire incident, Jordan's actions showed to have violated the code of student conduct.

Identify the "deciders", tar and feather!-Zeeland (MI) public school in outlaws tag, chasing, 'running in packs'
Zeeland public school in outlaws tag, chasing, 'running in packs':
"New Groningen kindergarten teachers in Grand Rapids, Michigan caused some consternation amongst parents recently with a letter they sent home that banned the game of tag and other chase-oriented games.
The letter described the problem of children, "running in packs, pushing, knocking other children over, and making the game dangerous," which as we recall, was half the fun of the game.
"We want our children to treat each other with respect, kindness, and with safety in mind," said Ginger Smith, community relationship manager for Zeeland Public Schools, on Friday, in an attempt to clarify the situation.
Apparently, neither the school nor the district have received any direct complaints from parents regarding the policy, but at least one did contact the media."

MSM amnesia or lack of Googling skills enabling Dems again!- Democrats have demanded conditions for debt-ceiling increases 21 times since 1979
Politics: FYI: Democrats have demanded conditions for debt-ceiling increases 21 times since 1979 | Best of Cain:
Why, those irresponsible Republicans, risking the full faith and credit of the United States by threatening not to raise the debt limit!
It's unheard of!
It's unprecedented!
It's beyond the pale, I tell ya!
Except for one thing: It's as common as the day is long.
In fact, more than half of all the debt ceiling increases since 1979 came with conditions, and no party attached conditions more than the Democrats.
Writing today in the Wall Street Journal, Kevin Hassett and Abby McCloskey tell you what the mainstream media would have told you two years ago if it was not merely an Obama propaganda outfit:
Congressional Republicans who want legislative conditions in exchange for a debt-limit increase are following a strategy that has been pursued by both parties the majority of the time. Of the 53 increases in the debt limit, 26 were "clean"—that is, stand-alone, no strings-attached statutes. The remaining debt-limit increases were part of an omnibus package of other legislative bills or a continuing resolution. Other times, the limit was paired with reforms, only some of which were related to the budget.In 1979, a Democratic Congress increased the debt limit but required Congress and the president to present balanced budgets for fiscal years 1981 and 1982. In 1980 the debt limit, again increased by a Democratic Congress, included repeal of an oil-import fee. In 1985, the debt limit that was raised by a divided Congress included a cigarette tax and a provision requiring Congress to pursue an alternative minimum corporate tax in the next year.
