Number of the Day

80: The number of abortion restrictions enacted so far this year in state legislatures across the United States. That number is "more than double the previous record of 34 abortion restrictions enacted in 2005—and more than triple the 23 enacted in 2010. All of these new provisions were enacted in just 19 states."
