As Emily Waldorf languished in an Arkansas hospital,
she felt like “a ticking time bomb”.
It was 2024, and the physical therapist was in the midst of miscarrying a much-wanted pregnancy.

Circuit Judge Jeffrey Tickal ruled last week that…

In the olden days when I was a young 'un, I used not to wear a scarf, because "whatever for?!"
