We were worried that you, the Wonkette Reader, might not have quite enough rage coursing through you today, and so here is the story, via Dan Savage at The Stranger, of Savita Halappanavar, a 31-year-old woman who died in Galway, Ireland, last month after doctors decided that, although she was already miscarrying and there was no chance her 17-week-old fetus could survive, she didn't quite qualify to have her life saved because the dying fetus still had a heartbeat. Ireland's abortion law only allows the procedure when the mother's life is in danger, just like the "moderate" position that Mitt Romney proposed, and which "pro-life" purists (including the 2012 GOP platform) oppose because, as Congressman
i heard it last night on the world radio program as well. it's getting some traction even here and we're not known for, you know, furriners.
i'm so sorry miss. my grandmother too died after years with alzheimer's (she had to be put in a home as she beat up my granddad apparently).
Horrible disease, Alzheimer's, as SB said. When my father-in-law was diagnosed, my wife's cousin (who'd watched her own mother fade away over many years and then for a few more continue to breathe as a reminder that that body used to be home to a person) asked if he had any other health conditions. When my wife said no, she said "Bummer".
A miserable thing it is, to wish your loved ones dead, but that's what Alzheimer's does.
Bushmill&#039;s Irish Whiskey - <em>not</em> distilled in the Republic of Ireland. Jameson, on the other hand, is, and is responsible for roughly 75% of total Irish Whiskey production.

Yeah, me too (Lagavulin, Talisker, or whatever is cheap at the time as I&#039;m not that fussy now I have two kids in college). The distillery that produces Bushmill&#039;s is in &quot;the six counties&quot;
Yeah, most Catholic ladies I know (especially my wife) nod politely while old men sworn to celibacy waffle on about women&#039;s bodies, but pay them no heed when deciding what they would like to do with said bodies.

Ever since somebody made fun of Palin&#039;s fucked up kid, you aren&#039;t allowed to say that on Wonkette.
Don&#039;t forget the especially apt &quot;langer&quot; (n: shithead, asshole)
