Gov. Abbott is now putting barriers along Texas border with New Mexico ( news.yahoo.com )

Bodycam video shows Ohio police fatally shooting pregnant black woman ( www.bbc.com )

Less than one minute. The police weren’t even called there for her, they were in the parking lot for an “unrelated call.” And why was an officer standing in front of her car leaning on the hood holding a gun in her face in the first place? There are so many things wrong with this.

1 in 5 women report mistreatment from medical staff during pregnancy ( www.npr.org )
