BOSTON – When Peggy Hartshorn and her family began taking in pregnant women, she didn't know they were taking the first steps toward joining an international organization. But three years later in 1978, she discovered a network, now known as Heartbeat International, devoted to helping women through maternity.
"Some of them had been "thrown out" of their homes or been abandoned by boyfriends because they refused to have an abortion," Hartshorn says about the first women she helped in "Foot Soldiers Armed with Love," her book about the organization's history. She became the group's chairman in 1990.
AUGUSTA, Maine (AP) — Maine Gov. Paul LePage says with a laugh that he wants to use the guillotine to execute drug dealers at public executions.
The governor's office said Tuesday the remark during a radio interview on WVOM was just a joke to illustrate his support for tougher penalties for drug crimes.
