Mississippi Abortion Ruling

Judge Daniel Jordan today ruled that Mississippi's new law, which effectively shuts down the state's sole remaining abortion provider, must be put on hold. Citing a lack of medical or patient safety reasons for passage, as well as multiple examples of government officials explicitly stating that the purpose of the law was to eliminate abortion services in Mississippi, Judge Jordan has stayed the law pending a hearing on the merits.

Romney and Lying

Always nice to hear a presidential candidate (still presumptive at this point) repeatedly and intentionally lie to secure votes:

Obama has racked up more debt than all previous presidents combined? False.

Obama wants to end Medicare as we know it? Nope - that's a main ingredient in the Ryan budget.

Obama's healthcare overhaul will balloon the deficit? False.

The list goes on, the fact checkers do their work, and still this man lies all the time. I'm wondering if it has become such a habit for Romney that he no longer notices. It's quite obvious he doesn't care.
