Governor Brownback Signs Kansas Abortion Laws
The Governor signed them on Friday, thirteen days after they had been passed by the legislature.
One bill bans abortions, which are based on the sex of the baby.
A second ends tax breaks for abortion providers.
The third defined life as beginning at fertilization, but did not do anything to limit abortion.
Opponents of the bills say that they threaten access to abortions, while their supporters say they just clarify things.
However, some supporters are upset that the bills did not go further and do more to limit abortion.
Kansas' laws follow moves by Arkansas and North Dakota to tighten their own abortion laws.
Bostonians Celebrate Capture of Bombing Suspect
The suspect was taken to the hospital in serious condition, but is expected to recover. It is believed he was injured in Thursday night's shoot out with police.
Officials are using a rarely used public safety exception that gives them the right to interrogate the suspect, for forty-eight hours, without giving him rights. The exception is allowed when there is a clear and present danger to the public. It also allows for any information gained, during the interrogation, to be used in court.
Several US Congressman have called for the time limit to be waived, in this circumstance. Some have said he should be listed as an enemy combatant, which would give the Justice Department an ever freer hand.
While the man hunt was under way, the city of Boston had been completely shut down, by order of the Governor. During the search police, FBI, and military forces went door to door, searching for the suspect. The lock down was lifted within minutes of the suspect's being located and surrounded.
Once the news came that he had been capture, the city emptied into the streets. US flags were waved, patriotic songs were sung, and every emergency vehicle or personnel was cheered as it went by.

Napolitano Reelected in Italy
Napolitano gained reelection in the sixth round of voting.
In Italy, parliament elects the mostly ceremonial president.
However, he does have the ability to dissolve parliament should the need arise.
Italy's parliament was voted in, nearly two months ago, but has still been unable to form a government.
If they continue to be unable to do so, as seems likely, it will be up to Napolitano to dissolve parliament and call for new elections.
