...explicitly illegalize abortion means very little when we look at the sector of the population that the amendment will most seriously affect. For the low-income women who have no hope of getting access to supplemental insurance, much less $372, and have not planned their pregnancies, Stupak effectually will render abortion illegal, forcing them to seek illegal, unsafe abortions. Mr. Lewine also underestimates the difference between splurging on an iPod and paying for an abortion. Having an abortion is not an easy choice, whatever anti-choice proponents might say—even outside of the certainly devastating realization...
...reasons for setting so specific a date to begin withdrawal are not purely political—as opposed to strategic. Obama emphasized that any drawdown starting in July 2011 will be conditional upon the situation that develops on the ground. Because this catch obviously holds the power to render the timeline meaningless, it seems the date is only a political concession to the nation’s left, meant to quell discontent among those who feel America should leave Afghanistan today...

Despite an incredible performance from Hardy, the story’s limitations render every other character—from his girlfriend to his quick-witted handler to the chilling pedophile that approaches him in the asylum—fundamentally marginal. It would be a pleasure to watch Hardy’s undeniable range and power at play alongside other talent for extended periods of time; for all his breadth, his character has only two speeds (break-neck and dead-stop) and very little depth. Instead, “Bronson?...
