ReproductiveRights

It is one of the GOP’s tried and untrue slanders, deployed every time a Republican President nominates an anti-abortion Catholic to the federal judiciary. The GOP and its amen corner claim Democrats are waging a “war on Catholics” and requiring a “religious test” for office. This week’s confirmation theater for...

It’s amazing what staring down the barrel of a Handmaid’s Tale-style dystopia can do. In the wake of some particularly draconian abortion laws recently passed by several mostly Southern states, Americans now strongly support a woman’s right to choose in all or most cases.

The Florida GOP literally refers to pregnant Florida women as “host bodies.” Now, we are expected to get an abortion ban that is in every way as bad as Alabama’s—and may even be worse. Our state is purple (we have more Democrats here than Republicans), and yet our state legislature resembles...

Always read the fine print. From section 2(i) of Alabama’s new “It’s Uter-us not Uter-you” law: (i) It is estimated that 6,000,000 Jewish people were murdered in German concentration camps during World War II; 3,000,000 people were executed by Joseph Stalin's regime in Soviet gulags; 2,500,000 people were murdered during...

Well, this is good news for men who work in the lotion industry, but that’s about it. Short of a lard embargo, I can’t imagine what would get Donald Trump’s attention faster.  x Our reproductive rights are being erased. Until women have legal control over our own bodies we just...

Those goofy bastards in Georgia have painted themselves into a lot of corners by declaring, through legislative fiat, that a very young fetus is actually a person who’s due all the same rights as any American. Does this mean 6-week-old Georgian fetuses are actually citizens and can’t be deported? Must incarcerated...
