Of 10,273 patients, nine-year outcomes were similar whether chemo was given, suggesting surgery and hormone therapy suffice for many early stage cases.

Lesbian couples seek foster rights amid religious exemptions
A MAP report notes religious exemption laws shape LGBT family lives across 21 states, with 19 states plus DC offering public accommodation protections. In Nebraska and other states, gay couples face barriers to fostering, adoption, or foster licensing due to religious beliefs, while some courts limit parental rights in divorce cases involving non biological parents. Todd Vesely and Joel Busch recount years of discrimination and a legal suit with the ACLU after Nebraska denied their foster license because they are a same sex couple. Kristy and Dana Dumont describe delays and rejections from state agencies and faith-based groups, joining suit to challenge policies that allow religious groups to refuse placements for same sex couples.
