Moment of silence for him.

I can't imagine how many lives he saved and how much suffering he prevented.

Norma McCorvey, Jane Roe of Roe v. Wade decision legalizing abortion nationwide, dies at 69

I never heard much, if anything, about her personal story.

Homicide is very, very destructive and evil. It leaves despair and confusion in its wake.

It is the only stock in trade of the state.

She was manipulated by those feminists into it. Later became pro life and fought to end this evil institution. She died a true abolitionist.

Plaintiffs' lawyers often lay the hammer on their vulnerable clients to act directly against their interests in favor of the lawyer's interest. Especially in class action and civil rights cases.

Our way of doing things seems to create inherent and direct conflicts of interests between what the client needs and the lawyer wants.

I just learn today that Bill Paxton has died at age 61 from complications from heart surgery:

We're told Paxton underwent heart surgery and had complications post-op and suffered a fatal stroke.

update_Bill Paxton has died ... TMZ has learned.

We're told the actor died suddenly Saturday due to complications from surgery.

Paxton had a string of hits, including "Twister," "Titanic" and "Aliens." He won an Emmy for "Hatfields and McCoys." He was on a CBS series, "Training Day" at the time of his death.

The 61-year-old actor had 2 children and was married to Louise Newbury for 30 years.

The family says, "It is with heavy hearts we share the news that Bill Paxton has passed away due to complications from surgery." The family accurately describes his "illustrious career spanning four decades as a beloved and prolific actor and flimmaker." The family adds, "Bill's passion for the arts was felt by all who knew him, and his warmth and tireless energy were undeniable."

Not my favorite actor, but a very familiar face. Sad to hear.
