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.

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 [...]
Philadelphia: Beware of Republicans Promising “Reform”
Earlier this week, the Philly Weekly reported on the city’s Republican town hall debate. All of them had interesting things to say, too much for me to provide a synopsis in a blockquote.
At the same time, no matter what any of these candidates say, I discourage all Philadelphians from voting for even [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
Joe Sestak Is On Our Side
Great ad: Pat Toomey is NOT on our side. Pat Toomey wants to put doctors who perform abortions in jail for murder: his office never got back to me when i asked if they would pursue charges against women who got abortions, or against those who help them, so you can take that as [...]
Read More..>>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 [...]
Why PA MUST Support Joe Sestak for Senate
Commenter Glomarization:
Hey, at least Toomey is (minimally) intellectually honest about what happens when you implement an abortion ban. Now, the real question is whether he’s willing to imprison the women who get abortions as murderers, or at least accomplices. How about the support staff, friends and family who help arrange transportation, payment, and aftercare? Whee! [...]
Woman is the Nigger of the World
I think this is an appropriate enough video to introduce the latest in hope and change, received in a fundraising email from the otherwise odious sellout on reproductive rights, NARAL:
I have an urgent update about the new health-care law.
To our dismay, the Obama administration just announced it will exclude abortion coverage in the temporary health-insurance [...]
