    What exactly is the status on abortion here?

    Very confusing after a few girlfriends were talking about it as if it were no big deal, yet I have read it is illegal. What exactly is the standing on this, legally and the actual reality, legal or not.

    This 10 day closedown law?

    The Colmado at the bottom of Abe Lincoln Ave (opposite the Hispanola Hotel) has been closed down for ten days after a drugs bust resulted in a cop being shot and wounded. Is this a standard fine for allowing drugs to be sold on a property or for a cop being shot? Seems like a light punishment to me.
