Our Somali Neighbors

Earlier this month, I asked a librarian how many Somali-speaking people reside in Eden Prairie. Here's their unedited response:

Dear Library Customer-

I did receive a call back from the Human Rights and Diversity Commission. They said they would have better information following this years Census process and would have something new by the end of this year or early next year. What they could provide right now regarding the Somali population in Eden Prairie was:

265 children registered in the Eden Prairie School District list Somali as the language spoken at home

They estimate that there are 500 Somali families in Eden Prairie.

I hope this information is helpful.

Thanks for using the Ask a Librarian service

If abortion were made illegal, what punishment would you like to see imposed, upon a woman caught voluntarily seeking out an illegal abortion?

Should such a case be treated precisely the same as any other method of first-degree murder?

Two Hypotheticals

Hypothetical A: Steve hates Pauline. One day Steve drugs Pauline, ties her up, puts her in the back of his pick-up truck and drives across town--to Mike's place. Mike tells Steve that the liquid in his syringe will cause speedy death in any human being. Steve then pays Mike $500 to inject Pauline--who dies immediately.

Hypothetical B: Sandra is unexpectedly pregnant and doesn't want to be. She asks some friends--and is provided with contact info for Bob, an illegal abortionist. Sandra then goes to Bob's place, where she pays Bob $500 for an abortion. Bob then performs the abortion on Sandra per her request.
