abortion
Your Wonkette has been fastidiously trying to ignore anything related to this bizarre, sad Casey Anthony case, not only here but in life, because once upon a time there was such a thing as an “OJ Simpson trial,” which set everyone a very high bar for 24-hour reality crime shows that probably will never be [...]
Republican “moral math” alert! Ohio state representative Robert Mecklenborg was arrested for driving around drunk on an Indiana state highway, which is sort of an “anti-life” thing to do, you might say. But just a few days ago, he also voted for the Fetal Heartbeat Bill, one of those fake “pro-life” thingies that Republicans love. Do they [...]
Take heart, angry war fetus! The cranky olds of the Ohio House of Representatives have imaginary-heard your testimony and finally passed their “Fetal Heartbeat Bill,” an unconstitutional law that prohibits abortion after six weeks. In other words, this was a law passed “for fun,” as it has no chance of becoming actual law. Here is [...]
Dildo-shaped GOP presidential candidate Rick Santorum gave a speech in Iowa to remind voters that pregnant women are sick fakers who just love the late-term abortion fun. From ThinkProgress: Santorum: When I was leading the charge on partial birth abortion, several members came forward and said, “Why don’t we just ban all abortions?” Tom Daschle [...]
What does every wildly creepy pro-life goblin fantasize about doing to every pregnant teenage girl seeking an abortion? Kidnap and imprison her until she gives birth while terrorizing her with under-lit video conference lectures? Yeah, that. And behold: the world’s first “pro-life horror movie.” The film premiered this weekend at the Hoboken International Film Festival. [...]
The House passed the No Taxpayer Funding For Abortion Act yesterday evening by a 251-175 vote. This has no chance of becoming law, but considering Republicans have promised to make abortion illegal since Roe v. Wade was decided 40 years ago, it’s not like they’ve really ever planned on banning it. If they did ban [...]
Rick Santorum needs some attention! Say something ridiculous and offensive, Rick! “Well, look at — and I know they dispute this — certainly a lot of evidence that the location of their clinics happen to be in places, historically places, where there are high concentrations of minorities, for example.” Sure, that will work! Just say [...]
It’s been a rather slow news week, so the media elites and pretty much everyone else have decided it’s time to unleash the research that will ruin Donald Trump’s shot at the Republican presidential nomination. (Not like it was hard to uncover or anything.) 2012′s cartoon rich man frontrunner won’t even make it to his [...]
Screwing D.C.: the one thing all of Congress can agree on.™ D.C. Mayor Vincent C. Gray and several members of the D.C. Council were arrested Monday at a protest on Capitol Hill, as city officials turned up the volume on their complaints about a federal spending deal that imposes controversial riders on the District. Apparently [...]
Bad news, we guess: Americans have just quit having babies. Why? Oh, no reason at all, everything’s fine, la la la. The birth rate for the main procreating age range of wommens, 20-24, dropped by a shocking 9% in just two years (2007-2009). In the doomed American Southwest, the birth rate plunged by 10%. Overall, [...]
This bro does not want to disparage rape and incest victims, he just wants to disparage other women, because women always be pretending they got raped so Indiana will let them have all the abortions they want. So many abortions fit through that loophole, you don’t even know! Women make huge profits pretending to get [...]
Because a state lawmaker read “a magazine article on such practices in China and India,” Arizona is set to ban abortions made on the basis of the race or sex of the fetus. Not that there’s evidence women in Arizona abort a fetus based on its perceived race or sex; there isn’t. But this is [...]
You’ve probably heard the “social security is bankrupt!” propaganda enough times to half believe it. Social Security is outta money! — even though it’s currently sitting on $4.3 trillion, and it’s fully funded by existing contribution schedules and existing reserves for the next quarter of a century. And after 2037, it’s still 75% funded. Time [...]
