The House overwhelmingly passed a measure Wednesday that would ban all partial-birth abortions. A substitute bill, which would outlaw partial-birth abortions except in cases when the mother’s life is in danger, failed to garner support.

This is in regard to David Holt’s piece (Four out of five old men prefer David Holt to The GW Journal) from the March 16 issue of The Hatchet. What gives? There’s no reason to beat up on the GW Journal when a) it isn’t in competition with the Hatchet, as he suggests – it’s […]

Even Student Association senators complain about the lack of respect the SA gets on campus. Why would anyone come to us with problems when they think we can’t do anything? What can the SA do besides fund student groups and create laws for itself? We’re a rather sad bunch, really. After a few battles with […]
