How a Late-term Abortion Saved My Life →
bostonwalkforchoice:
These stories explain why we need late-term abortions to be available everywhere and why we need more men like Dr. George Tiller.
On Sunday May 30th, a man walked into a church in Wichita, Kansas and shot to death Dr. George Tiller. Dr. Tiller was volunteering as an usher that Sunday, so he was standing in the lobby of the church when the gunman entered. Unfortunately,...

One night a conundrum was presented to me: How can any middle-class person not like Obama?
I did not have a catchy, witty reply at the time with which to adequately answer such a question and last night gave me just the chance I needed to find the answer to this question. It eventually turned into a (sarcasm) nice, fun (/sarcasm) discussion between myself, a cousin, a cousin-in-law (CIL), and my...

States Pass Staggering Array of Anti-Choice Laws,... →
Some of the scariest parts of this:
Oklahoma has seen no less than eight attempts to block women’s access to abortion care in that state during the state’s 2010 legislative session. From a bill that would require physicians to “grill women” by asking them no less than 37 questions, forcing women seeking an abortion “to report their ‘marital status, age, race, education, number of live births,...

Hey! I'm still alive (and well!)
Hello everyone, I know it’s been a while, so let’s sum up the past few months in a nutshell:
I LOVE my job. It keeps me very busy. I have days where I’d love to freak out and blow stuff up, but for every one of those, I have at least 10 where I am thankful I’m able to do what I do.
Grad school. Um. Yea. It’s kicking my ass and keeping me busy as all get-out. Good...

Colorado wants to ban Contraception →
rabbleprochoice:
So Colorado wants to ban the use of basically all contraception products except for condoms because a certain religious group believes that an egg, even unfertilized is a person.
So what do we have here?
Utah and Kenucky want to charge women with criminal charges for having miscarriages, Colorado wants to ban contraceptive use…when is someone going to show up on my doorstep...

I’ll miss having Jesus participate in renditions of YMCA off of I-75. Anyhow, goes to show churches…spend your money helping people with REAL stuff that can help them and now showy shit like this. The person who proposed this financed it for $250K. Imagine how many children could get life-saving immunizations with that kind of money?

The House voted Thursday to let the Defense Department repeal the ban on gay and bisexual people from serving openly in the military, a major step toward dismantling the 1993 law widely known as “don’t ask, don’t tell.”
Senator Joseph I. Lieberman, who sponsored the repeal measure, said the ban did not “reflect the best values of our country.”

What a week!
Is it over yet? I want a new one!
Between a new class and a professor who is masochistic with homework stuff (moreso than usual), new job stresses (new work schedule, LOTS of stuff to remember, and I LOVE my kids), and then a bomb of bad news on Monday…. I can’t take much more.
The bad news had me run the gamut from raging anger and “WHY?” to raging anger directed...

And yes I will argue with you over DADT, you fucking homophobe. And no I DO NOT CARE if you’ve served in the military before and I haven’t.
