In Washington, D.C., anti-abortion protesters opposed to Planned Parenthood have been harassing children and staff of an elementary school because the school is near a soon-to-be built Planned Parenthood facility. But now the school is fighting back with a lawsuit. Two Rivers Public Charter School accuses the activists of blocking carpool lanes and even showing children graphic images […]
Carly Fiorina is an accomplice to murder and domestic terrorism. Yes, you read that right, and I will not soften or retract it. Not now, and not ever. Recall that at the second GOP debate, Fiorina, whom I have called the biggest political liar since Richard Nixon (I will never retract that assertion, either) said […]
The recently-indicted Attorney General of Texas, Ken Paxton, has filed a friend of the court brief with the U.S. Supreme Court which would deny insurance coverage to women if the policy pays for contraception their employers object to. A lawsuit has been filed by East Texas Baptist University and Houston Baptist University against the federal […]
We naturally expect right wing Republicans to say patently ridiculous–not to mention inaccurate–things, but I do believe that Oklahoma GOP Senator James Lankford has now jumped to the head of the class when it comes to stupid, bizarre statements that are both false and incomprehensible when subjected to logic and reason. During a debate on […]
An Arkansas nurse has been charged for the crime of performing an abortion, and her patient was also charged with concealing a pregnancy and abusing a corpse. You may want to read that first sentence again. It certainly caused me to scratch my head and mumble, “What the…” under my breath. Then I began to […]

There is nothing wrong with a person or group being religious, so long as that religious belief doesn’t infringe on the rights of another person. Far too often, however, that is exactly what happens among those of extreme faith. Allow me to introduce you to a group called Choices4Life, which operates in the name of […]
A Walmart pharmacist in Milledgeville, Georgia, refused to fill a woman’s valid prescription which her doctor had given her shortly after she suffered a miscarriage. Brittany Cartrett said the prescription for Misoprostol was given to her by her doctor shortly after she miscarried five weeks into a recent pregnancy. Use of the drug after a […]
I’ve heard some incredibly callous and ignorant reasons for abortion restrictions in my life, but I do believe a Republican lawmaker in North Carolina has now taken the mantle reserved for the most asinine and thoughtless. GOP state Representative Pat McElraft has co-sponsored a bill in North Carolina which would triple the state’s 24-hour waiting period for […]
Arizona GOP Governor Doug Ducey signed a extremely controversial bill Monday that prohibits women in his state from buying insurance that includes abortion coverage through the federal healthcare exchange. In addition, the bill Ducey signed also requires doctors to tell women they could possibly reverse the effects of a drug-induced abortion. Critics of the bill claim that provision is based on […]
