Is Pfizer Liable for Pregnancies Caused by Faulty Birth Control?

Are they liable if women end up pregnant? Largely depends on the state.

Higher Crime, Fewer Charges on Indian Land

Indian reservations across the United States have grappled for years with chronic rates of crime higher than all but a handful of the nation’s most violent cities.
