US: Higher education costs increase for the most needy
The College Board, a not-for-profit organization that administers entrance and other standardized tests in the US and whose membership includes more than 5,000 institutions of higher learning, has released several reports on higher education in the United States. All of these studies lead to the inescapable conclusion that since the year 2000, middle- and lower-income students have been paying more for public higher education at a time when they are less able to afford doing so....

South Dakota Votes on Most Restrictive Abortion Law in Country: A Debate
On Election Day, voters in South Dakota will be asked to consider implementing the most restrictive abortion law in the country. A law passed earlier this year made it a felony for health providers to perform abortions - even in cases of rape or incest - unless the procedure is necessary to prevent the death of the mother. But pro-choice advocates managed to block the state from enacting the law. They collected about 38,000 signatures to force a statewide referendum. We go to South Dakota and...

Bush’s “Architect” Launched Anti-Gay Marriage Campaign After Burying Gay Father
The Washington Post recently reported that there is widespread panic amid the Republican establishment about next week’s midterm elections. But the paper found that there are two people whose confidence about Republicans prospects strikes even their closest allies as almost inexplicably upbeat -- President Bush and his top political adviser, Karl Rove. Does Rove know something the rest of the country doesn’t? James Moore, co-author of the new book “The Architect: Karl Rove and the Master Plan...

N.J. Decision Won’t Shift Election, But Could Lead to Marriage Equality
With Republicans likely to lose the House (and possibly the Senate), the media is eager to change the narrative and create another “defeat from the jaws of victory” myth about Democrats. With last week’s New Jersey court decision on same-sex marriage, some have speculated that it will drive conservatives to the polls. Already, George Bush has commented on the case and regurgitated the same tired rhetoric that frightened voters two years ago....
