Saturday buzz

In The Star:

  • David Klepper examines the health exception in Kansas abortion law. Should a woman who is severely depressed be allowed to get a late-term abortion?
  • Mark Morris reports that Katheryn Shields and Phil Cardarella want an early trial -- before the KC mayoral election -- in the mortgage fraud case against them.

Foley scandal open thread

    Here's a new open thread specifically for the Foley scandal.

    But first, a bit of news: Missouri GOP Rep. Kenny Hulshof tells the Columbia Daily Tribune that "he was not in favor of" Hastert "stepping down from his post for his handling of the" scandal. Hulshof: "I think it's premature to call for Dennis Hastert's resignation at this time. The investigation needs to run its course. ... Anybody and that includes Republicans, Democrats and members of the media, who knew of these instant messages, and did nothing, should be held accountable."

Wednesday's open thread

   Comments about topics other than the Foley scandal can go here. We've started a separate open thread for Foley (see above.)

Thanks, Keith Chrostowski
