Four Good Things From 2016, And One Is The U.S. Election
The year was not a total loss.
Teen Pregnancy Reaches Record Low
New reports that came out this year showed teenage pregnancies and abortions are at an all-time low. We can all agree that these figures are a good thing.
The new report from the Guttmacher Institute, the former research arm of Planned Parenthood, shows that abortions among teenagers in 2011 reached the lowest point since 1973 when Roe v. Wade allowed abortion on demand through all nine months of pregnancy.

"There are clearly more than 300 members of the House of Representatives, the overwhelming amount of Democrats and a significant number of Republicans, who would support the national security legislation, were it to receive an up-or-down vote on the floor of the House," Jeffries said on CNN yesterday.  Jeffries’s best bet is a long shot, a rarely successful legislative maneuver known as a "discharge petition," which would require at least four Republicans
