Let’s use a rusty coat hanger to kill a fetus inside a woman — it’s not like she will have complications or the fetus will be unsuccessfully aborted. With these Congressional debates and campaign fodder, it seems as though women’s rights have taken a drastic step backward. It is frightening that conservative Republicans like Santorum are doing as well as they are in the polls. Now with Rush Limbuagh’s tirade against Georgetown University student Sandra Fluke on his nationally syndicated radio show, calling her a “slut” and “prostitute” for advocating contraception, conservatives appear to be more backwards than ever. Women must be ready to once again fight for their rights.

...Continued from page 1

A barrage of missed attempts ensued. The 3,458 fans were waiting for another reason to cheer. Then it came. Umipig’s elbow 3-pointer edged the Titans within one, 67-66, and ignited the gym. The deafening sound grew when Ware missed his one-and-one free throw. The Titans were a basket away — attendees were on their feet and ready to burst — and Seeley hit the off-center trey. The clangorous cheers reverberated throughout the gym. The Titans took the lead and hoped to hold on for dear life. “You make an error like that against a good team and it’s going to cost you,” said LBSU Head Coach Dan Monson. He attributed the Seeley’s basket as a result of an error in communication between players. CSUF shot 68 percent from the free-throw line this season and any miss could spell doom. Seeley and Kwame Vaughn made 6-of-6 of their first free throws when they were put on the line. Ware hit a trey from the right elbow with six seconds left to make it, 75-74.
