Oakland soon could become a 'sanctuary city' for women seeking abortions as leaders in the East Bay's largest city are set to consider a resolution that protects abortion rights.

The resolution also calls on Congress to pass the Women's Health Protection Act, which would codify abortion into law. And it calls on the state and counties across California to provide money for abortion and contraceptives.

"We know there is a right-wing effort to turn back the clock on racial justice, on voting rights, on reproductive freedom and on the right for people to love whom they choose," Councilmember Rebecca Kaplan said."So we need to oppose this effort with our laws, with our actions and be in solidarity with one another in this fight."

Many Republicans don’t support the right to an abortion. They argue that the fetus is a human being and that aborting it is taking a life.

Bronx DA asks Visa and Mastercard to end business relationship with online 'ghost gun' retailers“We are asking that you take action now to help keep hundreds if not thousands of ghost guns from being built and used in crimes,” Bronx DA Clark told Visa and Mastercard in a letter. Component parts to assemble 'ghost guns' are usually bought online. Fun idea for curious journalists: Review every gun arrest in the Bronx over the last 2 years and see what the Bronx DA prosecuted and how many ever even went to prison. How many years does it take for Clark’s office to bring a case to trial? 2? 3? 4? How often does Clark’s office “loose” discovery material? Too often.
