Seven and a half years ago I had a partial nephrectomy to remove half of my left kidney.
Today, my renal specialist told me that she was absolutely amazed that my one and a half beans were functioning at 94% of what two healthy ones would.
I'll take that as a win

Last November Missouri voted (51.4%) in favor of a constitutional amendment restoring abortion rights to women in Missouri.
Last week. The MO. Repubs advanced another amendment. This one allowing abortions in the case of rape and incest, and only in the first 12 weeks.
The fight isn't over.

That I could make those people dance
And maybe they'd be happy for a while."
