Cost/Benefit analysis on … Abortion in North Carolina

By Steve McGough / May 19, 2011 /

That’s right, a North Carolina legislative panel actually had a discussion that concerned the “extra cost” to the state if a woman elected to have a baby as compared to the cost of an abortion. What do you say to this?

ObamaCare unconstitutional – Obama demands states follow law anyway

By Steve McGough / February 18, 2011 /

Guarantee incumbent reelection act in Iowa

By Steve McGough / March 10, 2009 /

I thought this may be something from the Onion until I found the text of the bill online at the Iowa General Assembly Web site.
