Pennsylvania’s Shame: One More Step Toward Gilead
Kermit Gosnell, and the opportunists that followed. For Shame, Pennsylvania. You’ll come to regret this day.
Read More..>>Obamacare FAIL
Over at Daily Kos, Kaili Joy Gray makes some hay with Romney’s health care hypocrisy, noting that if he’s such a pro-life conservative, why does Romneycare cover abortion?
It’s a nice try, and it certainly undermines Mitt Romney’s pro-life credentials.
But to me, a person who cares deeply about reproductive rights, it just reminds me (again) that [...]
Speaking of Women’s Reproductive Rights
Attention all women in Washington DC whose rights have been thrown in the garbage can by the Democratic President and his Republican allies.
Forced to carry a baby you don’t want to term, due to men like Barack Obama and John Boehner who don’t believe you have the right to self-determination? Appalled and terrified of ruining [...]
Chumped Again
ooops. Looks like there’s gonna be a vote on defunding Planned Parenthood after all…
Consider that the deal that cleared the way for keeping the government open actually does guarantee a Senate floor vote on defunding language. If the House passes the fully-year continuing appropriations bill agreed to under the deal—that is, one that does not [...]
Shiny Objects
The fact of the matter is that Planned Parenthood is nothing more than a shiny object.
The Democrats have already caved, by agreeing to $78 billion in cuts:
“The numbers have been agreed to, but it’s an opportunity for the right wing in the House to really sock it to women,”Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-CA) said. “I don’t [...]
Pro-Lifers are Stupid and Short-Sighted
Morons:
A law under consideration in South Dakota would expand the definition of “justifiable homicide” to include killings that are intended to prevent harm to a fetus—a move that could make it legal to kill doctors who perform abortions. The Republican-backed legislation, House Bill 1171, has passed out of committee on a nine-to-three party-line vote, and [...]
How to Deal With Your Rape Baby
In the post below, I explained the impact of HR 5939, the so-called “No Taxpayer Funds for Abortion Act”, co-sponsore by the rapists’ friend, Chris Smith and the rest of the GOP leadership, which is 100% pro-rape. Their bill would re-define rape for the purposes of denying women abortions: in other words, unless your rapist [...]

When you call Chris Smith’s office and ask the objectively pro-rape representative’s staff what methods are best for raping a woman so she’s forced to keep the baby, expect that someone will tell you your questions are inappropriate:
For years, federal laws restricting the use of government funds to pay for abortions have included exemptions for [...]

The Two Abortion Wars: State Battles Over Roe v. Wade
Away from Washington, another ominous anti-abortion battle is accelerating in the states. Anti-abortion forces have been trying to take advantage of the 2007 ruling in which the Supreme Court upheld a federal ban on a particular method of abortion.

Twenty-nine governors are considered solidly anti-abortion, up [...]
Joe Sestak for Senate
Joe Sestak is the only choice for Pennsylvania. This is true if you’re a Democrat or a Republican, because only an IDIOT would want a reactionary, embarrassing lunatic like Pat Toomey misrepresenting them.
Booman Tribune is all over Toomey’s shitty record:
[N]o one is talking about Pat Toomey’s record. Toomey was the president of the Club for [...]
