Kobe Bryant, one of the greatest basketball players ever, played his last game April 13th. His last game was quite “Kobe.” He took too many shots, but he made a lot of them. 60 points on 50 shots, one of the most absurd games by a single player in history.

Donald Trump shocked America again, asserting that women who obtain an abortion, if the procedure were outlawed, should be subjected to “some sort of punishment.” The backlash was swift. Punishment for women who procure abortions is out of step with mainstream pro-life conservatives, who instead advocate punishment for abortion providers.
