• New study disproves common (and blatantly false) notion that women who seek abortions are more likely to have mental, emotional or addiction disorders.

• Shocking (again): Another leaked internal email shows Fox News Washington managing editor Bill Sammon ordering Fox anchors to cast doubt on climate science.

• So President Obama apparently intends to revive the Office of Special Counsel, a White House group focused on defending whistleblowers. If only he’d stop prosecuting them, first.
