As the idea of free community college gains traction across the country, some lawmakers have gotten bolder in their concepts — expanding existing programs or pitching legislation that would offer free college to anyone.
We congratulate Massachusetts Governor Charlie Baker for expressing opposition to late-term abortions in the face of the so-called ROE Act bill on Beacon Hill.
Of course, Baker's logic doesn't hold up – it makes no sense to oppose late-term abortions when a baby is almost fully formed and still support earlier abortions when the only difference is degree of development. A human being is a human being, and either deserves protection of the right to live or doesn't, no matter the human being's age.
