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 Hill: Sixty percent of adults say abortion should be legal in…

God 'told' FL Rep to follow AL with no exemptions for rape, trafficking, mother's life. But NOT IVF!
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 Alabama or Oklahoma. This is…
CBS poll: An overwhelming majority of Americans favor keeping Roe v. Wade
Just more evidence that we’re ruled by a tyrannical minority who have gerrymandered, suppressed, obstructed, and otherwise cheated their way to their current political hegemony. CBS News: Two-thirds of Americans want Roe v. Wade left in place, and most who hold that view would be disappointed or angry if the ruling were to be overturned…
Susan Collins on new abortion laws: 'I’m not sure exactly why we're seeing this happen'
“Obtuse” is not a strong enough word for Susan Collins. We need to come up with a more forceful term, like, I don’t know, “fucking obtuse” or “obtuse as shit” or “Jesus Christ, this woman is a fucking idiot.” In a recent interview with WGME-TV in Portland, Maine, Collins, who (in)famously voted to confirm Supreme…
RNC chair slams abortion laws lacking exceptions for rape, incest
It’s hard to imagine what Ohio and Alabama might do for an encore. Reinstitute prima nocta? Public stonings for unmarried nonvirgins? Forced marriages of 13-year-old girls to Roy Moore or … James Woods? How much worse could it get? As it stands, they think an 11-year-old girl who gets raped by her uncle needs to have…
Alabama: Abortion is worse than the Holocaust, Stalin's purges, and the killing fields put together
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 the Chinese “Great Leap Forward”…
Alyssa Milano calls for universal sex strike 'until we get bodily autonomy back'
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 cannot risk pregnancy. JOIN ME…
If conservative Christian theology is really true, abortion is the only moral choice
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 pregnant women be released from…
