Not part of the movement? Riiiight!
In the rear window of the 1993 blue Ford Taurus that he was driving was a red rose, a symbol often used by abortion opponents. On the rear of his car was a Christian fish symbol with the word “Jesus” inside… Dinwiddie said she met Roeder while picketing outside the Kansas City Planned Parenthood clinic in 1996. Roeder walked into the clinic and asked to see the doctor, Robert Crist, she said. “Robert Crist came out and he stared at him for approximately 45 seconds,” she said. “Then he (Roeder) said, ‘I’ve seen [...]
Full Story... →This is not new:
_ May 31, 2009: Prominent late-term abortion provider George Tiller is shot and killed in a Wichita church where he was serving as an usher. The gunman fled but a city official said a suspect is in custody.
_ April 2007: Authorities say Paul Ross Evans placed a homemade bomb in the parking lot of the Austin Women’s Health Center in Texas. A bomb squad disposes of the device, which contained two pounds of nails. There are no injuries.
_ Oct. 23, 1998: Dr. Barnett Slepian is fatally shot in his home in a suburb [...]
Full Story... →So now the drumbeat from the right is going to be “Hey! This Scott Roeder character is not “Pro-Life”, he’s “A rightwing extremist!”. Hah. Good luck with that political alchemy! It seems unlikely that you can separate the two. The anti-abortion crowd has been pretty firmly affixed to the right-wing for some time now. You don’t use the issue as a political club in your bag of tricks and then just quietly exorcise yourself from it. Nice try, though!
It does beg the question though whether there is a “pro-life’ movement that is distinct from the “anti-abortion” movement. I’m [...]
Full Story... →President Obama recently announced that he plans to change some crappy Bush-era policies allowing doctors and pharmacists to refuse care to female patients who need contraceptives or want to terminate their unwanted pregnancies.
Anti-choice nutjobs are, of course, pissed off. But this time they are taking a new approach. Instead of their normal accusations that The President supports killing babies, they are accusing him of giving women breast cancer. Seriously.
According to Karen Malec, president of the Coalition on Abortion/Breast Cancer (and noted wingnut):
Basic medical texts acknowledge that women can help prevent breast cancer by having more [...]
Full Story... →Tony Perkins, the christofascist, homophobic asshat who runs the Family Research Council, is thoroughly fucking confused as usual. And he isn’t the least bit embarrassed to share his confusion with the rest if us.
In his God-as-Santa-Claus fantasy, there is a God with a big, white beard who personally tracks the actions and thoughts of every person in the world. When those people do what God wants, they are rewarded. When they don’t, they are punished.
The current economic problems, therefore, must have been caused by people on Wall Street pissing off God…
While the economy clearly is at [...]
Full Story... →So the McCain/Palin camp announced that Sarah Palin will FINALLY sit for an interview on Thursday.
I would like to suggest a few choice questions she should be asked…
Ms. Palin…
Modern screening processes for genetic disorders like down sydrome are safe and effective and available to most women who are at risk.
Because abortion is currently legal and safe, 90% of pregnant women who receive a down syndrome diagnosis choose to have an abortion.
This has led to a large drop in the number of children born with down syndrome are each year- down to around 5,500.
Once you [...]
Full Story... →This story of Bristol Palin being pregnant and the Palin camp trying to cover it up was the first thing I heard in relation to Palin and her daughter. Then the rumors that Sarah lied about giving birth to her son, and was instead covering for Bristol having done so.
Who knows what will come of the Trig Palin story. It certainly is more plausible that Sarah gave birth to him – as Downs Syndrome is more likely in older mothers giving birth. What still does not make sense is the lack of real evidence that Sarah was [...]
Full Story... →These people are ill. The latest email smear floating around (and wingnut meme) is that Barack Obama supports infanticide. He will not only fuck your white daughter, but he will take your babies, kill them, and eat them! Seriously.
The latest from the inbox originated from Frankie&Dwight (lawsmovingco@alltel.net):
Subject: EVERYONE NEEDS TO WATCH THIS
Everyone needs to watch this.
great guy – huh
you make up your own mind.
Here is the smear video:

The interesting thing is that it features Jill Stanek, know anti-freedom crusader who has blogged that the Chinese eat fetuses. [...]
Full Story... →So with the recent DC handgun ban ruling by the Supreme Court and the resulting glee on the right (despite the court continuing to allow “reasonable restrictions”), I began thinking.
Why is it that the right is so solid on this right and so absolutely opposed to a city or municipality with unique crime and violence problems banning handguns, while turning around and displaying the exact OPPOSITE behavior when it comes to a woman getting pregnant and deciding whether or not they want to have that child?
On one hand (guns) it is government hands off!
On the [...]
