Posted by Brendan on April 18th, 2007 filed in Republican perverts, abortion, anger, direct action, reproductive rights, right wing dingalings

As I’ve pointed out repeatedly, when it comes to reproductive rights, there is no worse friend than NARAL, which did not fight Alito or Roberts, and which supported all of the “pro-choice” republicans who put these two corrupt fascists on the bench.
Even now, there is literally NOTHING on NARAL’s front page about the SCOTUS decision:

Posted by Brendan on February 2nd, 2007 filed in abortion, calling bullshit, reproductive rights

Why, look who’s crawled out from under her rock!
It’s Nancy Keenan, come to tell me that Pennsylvania gets an F when it comes to reproductive rights.
You know who else gets an F? Nancy Keenan.

It was Nancy Keenan who failed to use NARAL’s pile of money stop the confirmation of John Roberts and Samuel Alito. It [...]

Moral BS from NARAL

Posted by Brendan on December 8th, 2006 filed in abortion, reproductive rights

“NARAL is now in the business of giving cover to Democratic Leaders who are trying to bullshit pro-choice liberals into thinking they aren’t selling them out.
(We saw this same ploy in Connecticut earlier this year.) Apparently, it sees itself as an inside player helping the Democrats keep from having to go out on a limb [...]

“The Administration strongly supports House passage of H.R. 6099 (WARNING: PDF), which would provide information and options to pregnant mothers contemplating an abortion regarding the development of the unborn child and the capacity of the unborn child to feel pain. H.R. 6099 would require those who perform abortions on unborn children 20 weeks or more [...]

Nancy Keenan is a Mole

Posted by Brendan on December 6th, 2006 filed in abortion, calling bullshit, emergency contraception, hypocrisy, letters, reproductive rights

[UPDATE: Welcome Firedoglakers! Come for the politics, stick around for the For Better or For Worse deconstructions!]
I’m a little late to the table regarding the new atrocity that choice sellouts NARAL are backing: the Unborn Child Pain Awareness Act, a Republican bill that “would require doctors to provide fetal pain information to women seeking [...]

Raj Bhakta: Robo-Calling Scumbag

VOTERS ARE BY now accustomed to automated political-campaign calls, but many were stunned by one that hit households in Montgomery County and Northeast Philadelphia over the weekend.
The recorded voice was that of a distraught, tearful woman.
“I had an abortion performed on me,” the woman said in a shaky voice, adding that she wanted to tell [...]

Open Letter to the Bimbos at NARAL

Posted by Brendan on November 3rd, 2006 filed in anger, calling bullshit, hypocrisy, politics, reproductive rights

Before any of my readers get all discombobulated that I referred to NARAL as “bimbos” let me remind you that by rndorsing Joe Lieberman, NARAL is endorsing a man who believes that Catholic hospitals in Connecticut should have the right to deny emergency contraception to rape victims, which earned him the moniker Rape Gurney Joe.

Correspondence With NARAL

Posted by Brendan on August 15th, 2006 filed in criticism, hypocrisy, letters, media, politics, reproductive rights

Last week NARAL sent me an “action alert” asking me to help support real sex education rather than abstinence programs.
