A bill aimed at banning the practice of abortion save in special circumstances is being considered in North Dakota, coming as other states look to loosen their restrictions on the procedure.
Too bad most Americans don’t get nuance
This is an incredible statement. I hope that Speaker Welch embraces the invitation to engage in this dialogue and prioritize these policy goals.
Countdown for the attack dogs who have gone after me for saying this same thing, “Black men tend to be vilified, while Black women are not believed.”
He gets nuance because he is a Democrat. Period.
We all know that, right?
Wow, this sounds like the victim response of a person scared of their attacker. They should be in the business of forcefully condemning domestic violence and workplace intimidation.
Denver, Colo., Jun 7, 2019 / 04:00 pm (CNA).- When the Netflix series ‘13 Reasons Why’, which features teen suicide, first aired in 2017, mental health professionals expressed concerns that the show could have a contagion effect, triggering an increase in suicides among teens inspired by the show.
A new study suggests these fears were not unfounded. According to a study published in the Journal of the American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry, United States youth ages 10-17 had a 28.9% increase in suicide rates in young males in the month (April 2017) following the debut of the show.
“The number of deaths by suicide recorded in April 2017 was greater than the number seen in any single month during the five-year period examined by the researchers,” the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) reported. Increases in suicide rates among youth were also found in the month leading up to the shows release, and through December 2017, nine months after its release.
