I can't believe we're re-debating shit I thought we had settled over 20 YEARS ago. Personhood amendment would actually give more paternity rights to rapists than they would to the women raped, who would have literally no legal recourse.

Even if students go to State or Community colleges instead of Pvt 4-year schools - now out of reach of the middle and working classes, they save nothing on textbook costs. Now that the boy in in the system, we can get the booklists further in advance and try a wider spectrum of options with more than 48 hours notice ( ... )
