2018 illegal birth registrations: RTÉ said abuses have been written about for decades 'by a small number of journalists'.
By 2018, I had been a decade writing specifically about illegal regs but am not mentioned as one of the 'small number of journos'.

Missouri Republicans passed new rules:
1. Women lawmakers are banned from showing their bare arms.
2. Women lawmakers are required to cover their dress with a “second layer”.
