The battle over the abortion pill has finally reached the Supreme Court. The FDA made the abortion pill more accessible as medicated abortions were spiking and now the Supreme Court is investigating whether or not the FDA made the right decision. The pill allows for more comfort and less embarrassment as well when a woman chooses an abortion.

Our officers also need to be taught not to reach for their guns unless absolutely necessary. Despite years of discussion, we still see police killing innocent people instead of using other techniques to better the situation.
