South Dakota Conservatives Propose Legalizing The Murder Of Abortion Providers

8:47 am EST February 15th, 2011 | Conservative | 32 Comments

Remember, none dare call them the American Taliban.

A law under consideration in South Dakota would expand the definition of “justifiable homicide” to include killings that are intended to prevent harm to a fetus—a move that could make it legal to kill doctors who perform abortions. The Republican-backed legislation, House Bill 1171, has passed out of committee on a nine-to-three party-line vote, and is expected to face a floor vote in the state’s GOP-dominated House of Representatives soon.

Live Action’s Planned Parenthood “Sex Trafficking” Video Probably A Hoax

12:39 pm EST February 1st, 2011 | Conservative | 21 Comments

This is really not surprising.

Rather, the Live Action video shows edited comments made by a single Planned Parenthood employee. Live Action has so far refused to publicly release the full video of the incident, instead posting what the organization itself admits is an “abridged 11-minute video.” (Live Action claims they are “sending full footage” to law enforcement officials.)

Is Live Action accurately portraying the Planned Parenthood employee’s statements and actions? It’s impossible to say for sure without the full video, but there is good reason for media to be skeptical. Lila Rose, after all, began infiltrating abortion clinics in collaboration with James O’Keefe — a convicted criminal who repeatedly lied about his heavily edited ACORN videos. Rose herself has a history of smearing the subjects of her videos.

Republicans Try To Redefine Rape

10:37 am EST January 28th, 2011 | Republicans | 204 Comments

Republicans once again demonstrate what they think about women at their most vulnerable

For years, federal laws restricting the use of government funds to pay for abortions have included exemptions for pregnancies resulting from rape or incest. (Another exemption covers pregnancies that could endanger the life of the woman.) But the “No Taxpayer Funding for Abortion Act,” a bill with 173 mostly Republican co-sponsors that House Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) has dubbed a top priority in the new Congress, contains a provision that would rewrite the rules to limit drastically the definition of rape and incest in these cases.

With this legislation, which was introduced last week by Rep. Chris Smith (R-N.J.), Republicans propose that the rape exemption be limited to “forcible rape.” This would rule out federal assistance for abortions in many rape cases, including instances of statutory rape, many of which are non-forcible. For example: If a 13-year-old girl is impregnated by a 24-year-old adult, she would no longer qualify to have Medicaid pay for an abortion. (Smith’s spokesman did not respond to a call and an email requesting comment.)

Obama Statement On Roe Vs. Wade Anniversary

9:17 am EST January 24th, 2011 | Politics, Supreme Court | 23 Comments

Thank God we’ve got a pro-choice president.

For Immediate Release January 22, 2011
Statement by the President on Roe v. Wade Anniversary

“Today marks the 38th anniversary of Roe v. Wade, the Supreme Court decision that protects women’s health and reproductive freedom, and affirms a fundamental principle: that government should not intrude on private family matters. I am committed to protecting this constitutional right. I also remain committed to policies, initiatives, and programs that help prevent unintended pregnancies, support pregnant women and mothers, encourage healthy relationships, and promote adoption. And on this anniversary, I hope that we will recommit ourselves more broadly to ensuring that our daughters have the same rights, the same freedoms, and the same opportunities as our sons to fulfill their dreams.”

More Fake “Christians” On The Right

They’re happy because a doctor who performs abortions has leukemia.

Funny, none of the Bibles I grew up with says that’s the right response. Oh, it’s conservative Christians? Then the actual Bible need not apply.

Robert Bork To Oppose Elena Kagan, Will Boost Pro-Choice Support For Kagan

1:13 pm EST June 21st, 2010 | Supreme Court | 8 Comments

I think the White House ought to send old Bork a thank you note. Whatever concerns pro-choice folks have about Kagan should continue to evaporate.

Failed conservative Supreme Court nominee Robert Bork is joining anti-abortion activists to publicly oppose confirming Elena Kagan as a justice.

Bork plans to detail his criticisms of Kagan during a Wednesday news conference organized by Americans United for Life. The group calls itself the country’s first national pro-life organization, and brands Kagan a pro-abortion activist.
