curliestofcrowns: greengrey: There’s only one time you can compare chopping down a tree with abortion. Say I go plant on tree on my neighbor’s lawn. It starts to grow. They don’t want this tree! They cut it down. Don’t think anyone alive would make the argument that they should be forced to keep the tree. As a matter of fact, I think the suggestion would outrage republicans. It’s THEIR...

– via State Senator Tom Lamb  Really? You earnestly believe that? You are willing to go against the Constitution, i.e., everything this country stands for, to “make a statement?” You are okay with women being PURPOSELY MISINFORMED so you can let everyone know you value human life? You couldn’t just...

Arizona Immigration Law
ethelthefrog: Yesterday, on Facebook, I challenged anyone to give me one argument why AZ’s immigration law is wrong, illegal, or whatever. Nobody accepted the challenge.

I made a t-shirt about why it’s wrong according the Bible....

The Amber Alert you just reblogged is a goddamn hoax. Nothing of the sort has appeared on any national news station. If it was an actual Amber Alert, it would be on the news.

I live in a small town in Michigan crammed full of Conservatives and I blog because no one else will listen to my "Liberal bullshit". I'm just wondering because I'm like that. Keep up the good work.

Pro-Life: A Quick Primer
sluthaditcoming: When you self-identify as “pro-life,” you are affiliating yourself with a very specific movement. You are giving tacit approval to the work of James Dobson. You are aligning yourself with people who think Scott Roeder is innocent of any actual crime. It may not be what you mean, and you may not like it, but that movement has defined the phrase. If you don’t think women should...

sfortuna-deactivated20100604 asked: So the movement which champions comprehensive reproductive justice for women, including abortion but also enough information and resources to help make that a last resort, is a "weenie cop-out"? Um, no. Because this IS about choices - we fight for bodily autonomy, not for funtimes in the doctor's office because people enjoy abortions or the circumstances which lead to them. They...

I am Pro-abortion so Women can have a Choice
waifsworld: I totally agree in your post where you detail being pro-life in the support of women, but when you call yourself “pro-abortion and pro-life,” that’s where it gets problematic. Pro-abortion is dangerous vocabulary, used pretty much only by the anti-choice supporters to paint their opponents as evil murderers. But we are not pro-abortion. No-one is; we all recognize it as a...
