Keep Roberts Out of the Supreme Court!

John Roberts is not one to be appointed to the empty Supreme Court seat. If positioned to the seat, Roberts will work hard to overturn Roe vs. Wade, as he has stated that it was wrongly decided.
I personally disagree with abortion except in extreme cases, but a woman should always have the right to choose. If Roe vs. Wade is oveturned, we will go back to back-alley abortions that will put women’s lives in danger.

Famine in Niger

I can’t even think about the starving childen without my eyes tearing up and my sinuses clogging. Niger is in the midst of a famine that kills hundreds of thousands of people, especially children under 5 years.

Children, gaunt and sick and too weak to lift their heads, are dying all over the country. There are no available estimates of how many have died this year–in the wake of a drought and locusts that decimated last year’s crop–but Doctors Without Borders, the international relief agency, has treated nearly 15,000 starving children this year. Many could not be saved.

Some of the charities bringing aid to Niger, please help if you can:
