Ireland is set to open an inquest into the horrifying (and probably unnecessary) death of Savita Halappanavar, the Indian dentist who died from suspected complications from septacaemia after the hospital that admitted her reportedly refused to terminate her pregnancy. Halappanavar was 17 weeks pregnant at the time.

Head without a brain, Michele Bachmann, took to the floor of the House to warn American citizens that Obamacare is coming to murder us all. Hide your kids, hide your wife, because Obamacare is literally killing everyone around here. Literally.

Why can nothing be easy in this country?
