We hoped it was a hoax, but we knew that it could also be true. It was only a matter of time before a woman died as a result of our prohibition on abortion. Over the days it became more likely that the story was true and we were subdued. For me, it hit home when I saw Savita’s picture on the front page of a national newspaper. This was a woman with a husband, family and friends who loved her and were now grieving. This was a woman who was looking forward to a future, to becoming a mother. I can’t even begin to imagine the grief her husband must feel. The story made me feel deeply sad, despairing and ashamed of my country. ...

Recent changes to financial aid regulations have reduced access to post-secondary education for the poorest Americans, seeming to indicate a hardening of the lines of social class. The most significant change in the 2012-2013 aid year has been the denial of any federal aid for those without a high school diploma. This changes a policy that allowed non-high school grads to take a test called the “ability to benefit” test. If the student was able to demonstrate ability to do college level coursework, they were eligible to apply for financial aid. The new regulation means that people who, for whatever reason, were unable to complete high school are now unable to apply for all types of federal financial aid. This change disproportionately affects students from low-income backgrounds, who often face economic necessities that force them out of high school and ...
