Katie Klabusich, Truthout: As goes reproductive health-care access in Texas, so may go the nation.

http://www.truth-out.org/opinion/item/27060-the-ebola-vaccine-traffic-congestion-and-global-warming

http://truth-out.org/news/item/27071-the-fight-and-the-right-to-vote

http://www.truth-out.org/news/item/27063-this-city-came-up-with-a-simple-solution-to-homelessness-housing

http://truth-out.org/news/item/27061-when-it-comes-to-torture-silence-is-bipartisan
Victoria Bassetti, Brennan Center for Justice: Torture politics makes for strange bedfellows. For those of you who think the Obama administration doesn't know how to work with Republicans, think again. North Carolina's Republican Senator, Richard Burr, may soon be one of the administration's best friends.
