...prohibits one very specific and very rare type of abortion procedure: Intact Dilation and Extraction (IDX). In IDX, a physician delivers all of a second-trimester fetus’s body except the head, punctures the base of the skull, and then suctions the skull contents before removing the head from the mother’s body...
...outs. In the bottom of the first, Kidder led off with a walk. Brown bunted her to second and she advanced to third on Murphy’s single. The designated hitter then took second on a double steal attempt before Kerper grounded out. Bock followed Kerper with a base hit to left on a full count. Kidder scored, but Murphy was thrown out at the plate...
...never get much sleep at a patrol base at night.

In typical truculent fashion, he ran for parliament in Moscow instead of his old Sverdlovsk home base, taking on the party establishment directly, and winning a seat in 1989. With that as a political base, he fought successful campaigns for the chairmanship in 1990 of the Russian Supreme Soviet, the former parliament, and then the newly created presidency in June 1991.
