On Wednesday, Republicans who control the state House efficiently batted aside family-friendly amendments to a bill they fraudulently claimed was an attempt to help disabled kids and their families -- but was really just another sham attempt by culture warriors to restrict a woman's right to choose.

After narrowly losing Tuesday's Democratic Party primary to Chicago-area Congressman Dan Lipinski, challenger Marie Newman indulged herself with a concession speech perhaps unique in intra-party elections. Strictly speaking, it wasn't a concession speech at all: Newman pointedly refused to congratulate her opponent or even acknowledged that he won.

A state law that prohibits doctors from performing abortions based on a diagnosis of Down syndrome was placed on hold by a federal judge on Wednesday.

On Wednesday, U.S. District Court Judge Timothy Black issued a preliminary injunction putting House Bill 214 on hold while abortion providers challenged the law's constitutionality.
