Thursday's Notes

* Jose Antonio Vargas, a Pulitzer Prize winning writer, revealed a deep secret recently.
DefineAmerican has the story of his life as an undocumented immigrant.

*  An interesting headline by BusinessInsider shows how some people may view the new legislation passed by the Ohio legislature:

JAILBREAK: Ohio Passes Prison Reform Bill That Lets Inmates Out Early

Despite all the assurances by Gov. Kasich, he cannot guarantee the safety of citizens.  Kasich now wants to sell off Ohio's prisons.  Are these measures risking our lives?

* Ohio now has the most restrictive abortion bill in the country and it does not allow exceptions for victims of rape or incest.  Ohio's GOP members of the Ohio General Assembly, seem more interested in stopping women from making their own decisions about their bodies instead of creating jobs.  Why do Republicans view women as incompetent and unable to make their own decisions?
