John C. Dvorak details his unceremonious dismissal from PC Magazine after 32 years of continuous column writing.

An analysis of recent abortion bills in Texas and North Carolina reveals identical language regarding clinic requirements, such as proximity to hospitals and doctor admitting rights.

They suggest the legislation is a "blueprint" for a future bonanza in government-funded abortion services.

Texas State Senator Wendy Davis gained national attention for a 13-hour filibuster against Senate Bill 5, which proposed a 20-week cutoff for abortions and stricter standards for clinics.

The segment criticizes "icon changers" who protest reproductive restrictions but remain silent on issues like fluoride in water, GMOs, and the military-industrial complex.
