    Whether or not you agree with abortion, it is a legal option for pregnant women in Michigan. But only up to a certain point. After 24.5 weeks, the only way a woman can terminate a pregnancy is if her life is at risk, or the pregnancy is the result of incest or rape. But what…

  • Should You Get Legal Advice Online About Child Abuse and CPS?

    The internet is like a shopping mall. Sure’s, there’s some great stuff available. But there’s also a ton of garbage you have to dig through in order to find what you want.
