#PhillyFive What We’re Reading: Oct. 13, 2014
What we're reading this morning.
1) ProPublica reports that a judge in Alabama with a religious fundamentalist's zeal has figured out a way to dismantle Roe v. Wade. At his swearing-in, he declared: "The very God of Holy Scriptures, the Creator, is the source of law, life, and liberty."

5) With seven high school football players now charged with hazing at Sayreville High School, New Jersey Spotlight raises the question if New Jersey's landmark anti-bullying law is enough.
