Dinosaur Eggs Found in China
April 22, 2015
While doing road construction in Hong Kong, China, dinosaur eggs were discovered! The city already has a large collection of eggs, and is proud to announce that they are adding to the collection.
They even call themselves the "Home of Dinosaurs", since winning a Guinness World Record for the world's largest collection of dinosaur eggs in 2004. The eggs were underneath a busy city street. A total of 43 were found, and 19 of them were completely intact. The eggs are considerably big, with a 5 inch diameter. Researchers are working and examining them to try and figure out what species they belonged to. Some of the eggs they have in the collection belonged to dinosaurs that roamed around 89 million years ago.

Kansas Governor Signs Bill Making Second Term Abortion Illegal
April 8, 2015
Republican Governor of Kansas, Sam Brownback, signed a law into effect on Tuesday that bans all second term abortions. People in support of Brownback's decision are ecstatic, claiming that it was a "groundbreaking step". The governor says that second term abortions are "knowingly dismembering a living unborn child." The law doesn't exactly state the time when a women can't get an abortion anymore, but it says that the dilate and evacuate procedure is now prohibited in Kansas. People in opposition to the law, such as Planned Parenthood, say that the law is "extreme political measures aimed at denying women access to health care and at undermining their decision-making ability." Obviously, the debate about abortion will continue to swing back and forth, but for now Kansas has taken a major step in the conflict.
