On The Federalist:<\/p>\n

\u201cIllinois Considers Another Terrifying Law Allowing Infanticide<\/a>\u201d \u2014 look, I don\u2019t write the headlines, and I know that the \u201cinfanticide\u201d label is now being pooh-poohed as scare-tactics, but the latest Illinois legislation, with 42 co-sponsors, not only removes any limit on abortion whatsoever (existing law at least nominally requires a medical reason for post-24 week abortions) and specifically affirms that abortion is about ending up with a dead baby, but requires that health insurance cover abortion, at any point, and without any coinsurance or cost-share.<\/p>\n

plus:<\/p>\n

\u201c The Future Of Feminism Is\u2026East Germany?<\/a>\u201d \u2014 a book review of Why Women Have Better Sex Under Socialism<\/em>.<\/p>\n

At Forbes, I\u2019m still on my soapbox about Illinois public pensions, with \u201cThree Steps To Fixing Illinois\u2019 Pension Crisis<\/a>.\u201d\u00a0 And, yes, I\u2019m still irritated that in fact, the new governor is kicking the can down the road.<\/p>\n

And at Jane the Actuary, I\u2019ve written a hopefully-calmer follow-up post to my irritable post here on the Chicago election:\u00a0 \u201c Chicago\u2019s Mayoral Election \u2013 A Call For Ranked-Choice Voting<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n

Plus, in \u201c Minimum wage, median wage: some data and thoughts<\/a>,\u201d I express my concern that, intuitively, even without digging into the copious literature, it doesn\u2019t make sense for a hike to a new minimum wage, as Illinois had done, that in parts of the state is only a smidge less than the median<\/em> wage, to only have the beneficial effects its supporters promise.<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
