‘My son could still be alive, maybe.’

Todd Shepherd writes this week about the death by suicide of Andrew Little at Delaware County’s George W. Hill Correctional Facility — one that might have been prevented. The victim’s mother described how medical privacy laws, however well-intentioned they are, made it impossible for her to keep up with her son’s mental health problems and help get him the treatment he needed. Malfunctioning locks on the cell doors may have also prevented guards from being able to get to Little in time to save his life. Read more at Broad + Liberty. ([link removed])

Pennsylvania has some of the nation’s more permissive laws about abortion, but Democrats in the state legislature want to make them looser still. Thomas Sheehan wrote this week about the politicians who seek — at the behest of abortion clinics — to remove existing health and safety regulations ([link removed]) , showing that the support from the abortion industry takes priority over women’s health, despite rhetoric claiming otherwise.

Guy Ciarrocchi writes about how fossil fuels are essential to modern life — and to Pennsylvania’s economy ([link removed]) . Environmentalists who rush to force us into more expensive energy sources don’t save the planet, they just force those jobs overseas and make life for the average American worse.

And finally, Broad + Liberty’s Liv DeMarco took a trip to the Philadelphia Catstravaganza ([link removed]) last weekend at the Greater Philadelphia Expo Center to see cats from across the region — and the people who love them.

What We’re Reading...
Can online conservatives be normal, just for a minute? It doesn’t seem possible, Ross Douthat wrote this week in his New York Times column ([link removed]) . The otherwise normal celebrity/sports story of Taylor Swift and her boyfriend Travis Kelce has spawned weirdo delusions on the online right about Pentagon psyops and rigged Super Bowls. It’s a football player dating a pretty singer. Relax!
