Like with much the right pushes, it doesn’t work logically.

Abortion Bans Don’t Stop Abortions
October 13th, 2009

Which is why we need to keep this medical procedure safe.
The Guttmacher Institute’s survey found abortion occurs at roughly equal rates in regions where it is legal and regions where it is highly restricted.
It did note that improved access to contraception had cut the overall abortion rate over the last decade.
But unsafe abortions, primarily illegal, [...]
Public Abortions?

That’s the kind of thing anti-choice activists are calling for. Yes, the American Taliban was in town last week, disguised as “values voters”.

From a Jezebel post on Kourtney Kardashian deciding not to have an abortion:
And it’s never the time for a man to “push” his girlfriend into either a pregnancy or an abortion.
Okay, “push” may be the operative word here, but it seems to me like this says a man never has any role in the abortion [...]
Pro-Life/Pro-Choice Evenly Split
August 10th, 2009
3 Comments
There is almost universal silence from the media and especially the right in light of a new Gallup poll that shows the split on abortion to be 47-46, showing the previous poll with a +9 advantage for the anti-choice position to be a serious outlier.
Futhermore, if you dig into the issue you’re likely to find [...]
Senate Dems In Bold Experiment To Replace Brainpower With Poop
July 6th, 2009
42 Comments
The Senate Dems should be showered in poop for even considering the idea that they should deny health care coverage for abortions in order to curry favor with the wingnut Republican fashion. News alert: you have sixty votes. That means there is no plausible reason for seriously engaging the knuckle draggers, let alone with this [...]
Operation Rescue Domestic Terrorists Achieve Their Goals
June 9th, 2009

Very sad.
The family of slain abortion provider George Tiller said Tuesday that his Wichita clinic will be “permanently closed,” effective immediately.
In a statement released by Tiller’s attorneys, his family said it is ceasing operation of Women’s Health Care Services Inc. and any involvement by family members in any other similar clinic.
“We are proud of the [...]
Operation Rescue Is A Terrorist Organization
June 4th, 2009

Let’s not beat around the bush here folks.
The man who (allegedly) killed Dr. Tiller was a member of an Operation Rescue cell. Operation Rescue helped him to stalk Dr. Tiller. And now Jill Stanek (you’ll remember her from ads pushed by conservatives in the 2008 election) is working with Operation Rescue to publish the [...]
Pro-Choice With Restrictions
May 19th, 2009
189 Comments
My bet is that outside of being offered the two most strident versions of abortion policy, a slight majority of people would be pro-choice with restrictions. I certainly count myself in that camp. I’m pro-choice and support pro-choice candidates (mostly) but I also think that there should be some restrictions like only allowing it within [...]

One of the nation’s few late-term abortion providers was acquitted Friday of misdemeanor charges stemming from procedures he performed, but moments after the verdict was announced the state’s medical board announced it was investigating similar allegations against him.
Prosecutors had alleged that Dr. George Tiller had in 2003 gotten second opinions from a doctor who was [...]
Bad Economy = Abortions Up?
March 25th, 2009
76 Comments
Another unintended consequence, apparently, of conservative economic policies.
For many Americans, the recession is affecting their most intimate decisions about sex and family planning. Doctors and clinics are reporting that many women are choosing abortions and men are having vasectomies because they cannot afford a child.
Planned Parenthood of Illinois clinics performed an all-time high number of [...]

Michael Steele: Abortion Is “An Individual Choice”

Now, that is a perfectly rational and mainstream position to have… but not for the chairman of the anti-choice Republican party.
So how many minutes until Mr. Steele has to clear out his desk?
Catholic Church Excommunicates Mother, Doctor Of 9 Yr Old Who Had Abortion But Not The Father That Raped Her
March 8th, 2009

The Catholic church once again demonstrates the follies of organized religion.
A senior Vatican cleric has defended the excommunication of the mother and doctors of a nine-year-old girl who had an abortion in Brazil after being raped.
Cardinal Giovanni Battista Re, head of the Catholic church’s Congregation for Bishops, told the daily La Stampa on Saturday that [...]

Here’s a press release from right-wing Catholic agitator Bill Donohue, responding to President Obama’s reversal of the Bush administration’s policy of cutting off family planning funding for women around the world:
“Here we have a black president taking money from the taxpayers in a time of economic crisis and giving it to organizations—many of which are [...]
A New Day For Choice

It’s a great day when anti-choice activists protest and don’t get a call from the president (Bush was always too chicken to appear in person). Outside the circle. Outside.
UPDATE: President Obama on a woman’s right to choose.
On the 36th anniversary of Roe v. Wade, we are reminded that this decision not only protects women’s health [...]

Undo.
President Obama will issue an executive order on Thursday reversing the Bush administration policy that bans the use of federal dollars by non-govermental organizations that discuss or provide abortions outside of the United States.
Obama will sign the executive order on the 36th anniversary of the landmark Roe v. Wade Supreme Court ruling that legalized abortion [...]
McCain/Palin Don’t Consider Abortion Clinic Bombers Terrorists

She’s pretty unintelligible as usual. Seriously, can’t understand what she’s saying for 90% of it, but its intriguing the way they can’t just come out and say an abortion clinic bomber is a terrorist.
Guess they don’t want to offend the base of the base.
UPDATE: Ricky Gervais says Palin is David Brent. Kind of makes sense [...]
