Abortion and Gay Marriage Now Legal in Northern Ireland By Jay Greenberg

Abortion and Gay Marriage Now Legal in Northern Ireland

Abortion and gay marriage are now legal in Northern Ireland after new laws came into effect at midnight on Tuesday. Westminster MPs passed the laws on both issues by using their prerogative on behalf of the region, which it was able to do due to Stormont, NI's government, not sitting. Pro-life protesters and pro-abortion campaigners turned out to air their feelings on the change in abortion law. The leader of Northern Ireland's conservative Democratic Unionist Party (DUP) Arlene Foster said it was a "shameful day." "This is not a day of celebration for the unborn," Foster added. Foster assured citizens that decriminalization would not mark the end of efforts to prevent the introduction of abortion services in the region and vowed that her party would explore "every possible legal option" open to it.

Rep. Andy Biggs: Schiff 'Poisoned the Well' on Impeachment - He is 'Not Respected'

Rep. Andy Biggs (R-AZ) has blasted House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff (D-CA), saying he is "not a fair arbiter" because he has "poisoned the well" regarding President Trump's impeachment inquiry. Speaking during an appearance on "America's Newsroom" Monday, Biggs slammed Schiff for withholding vital documents and keeping witness testimony secret in an effort to obscure the probe from the public. "This [investigation against Trump] has been going on for three and a half years," the Arizona Republican said. "[Schiff] himself has basically tainted the well here because he's the guy who said for two years that there was... clear evidence of collusion. "And it turns out that wasn't true." "He's not a fair arbiter... that's part of why Adam Schiff is not being respected by the majority here," Biggs added.
