The “Evil” Planned Parenthood Hooking Kids on Sex
The American Life League, a pro-life group, created a video about the evils of Planned Parenthood.

Michigan Senate Passes “License to Bully” Bill
In what can only be described as a cowardly political move, the Republican controlled Michigan Senate passed SB 137, which basically sanctions bullying.
