Lindemann ’29: Crisis pregnancy centers are a threat Rhode Island can’t ignore

The Ocean State helped buoy the blue wave that swept the nation on Nov. 3. The Democratic nominee for governor, Helena Foulkes, won her race by over 100,000 votes. The Democrats running for the Senate, the House and Attorney General also won their races. None of these victories are surprising — we live in one of the bluest states in the country. Especially when it comes to pro-choice legislation, Rhode Island is extremely liberal. In 2019, the state codified the protections of Roe v. Wade into state law, and in 2024, we established legal protections for clinicians and prohibited legal action targeting legally provided health care.

Coventry pays landowners for conservation easements that bar development, but a participant at the Land Trust's Monday meeting said they would not check a house application for an easement, though a subdivision application on protected land would raise flags. A house could be applied for and built before anyone noticed, the participant said. Members asked that easement properties be flagged in permitting records.
