John Kiriakou, Reader Supported News
Kiriakou writes: "We live in a system that seeks vengeance against those convicted of crimes, a society that doesn't just want people to repay their debts to society, but wants them to continue to suffer, both during and after release.

State-Mandated Mourning for Aborted Fetuses
Lily Myers, Bust
Myers writes: "The bill would require women to pay for either cremation or burial for the aborted fetus. Yes, you read that right. Women would be legally required to fund a funeral for the aborted fetus. If that isn't just the perfect blend of emotional shaming and economic manipulation, I don't know what is."
