When one of the two people who introduced the measure is with Allen County Right to Life, how can this be said with a straight face?
Authors of a bill now before the Allen County Commissioners say its purpose is not to just limit abortions . . .
We can debatge whether it is right to make abortions tougher to get, but
Coming soon to a meeting near you, the hard sell:
Those who plan a big legislative push to streamline local government say they know what's coming their way: a lot of shoving back.

Barack Obama has said he considered joining the United States military when he left school but decided not to because the Vietnam war was over and "we weren't engaged in an active military conflict at that point".
