Defining Terrorism: Anti-Choicers to Al Qaeda?

Many members of the pro-choice community have urged the Justice Department to treat Sunday’s events as an act of domestic terrorism.  At first, I thought “of course!”  As I’ve done more reading and heard the perspectives of some constitutional law scholars interviewed in the media I’ve become considerably more ambivalent about this.  Make no mistake, [...]

Boob Job Piggy Bank.

I’d like to give major props to Obama for his incredible answer to “the abortion question” in last night’s debate.  Nobody is pro-abortion and it is time that someone with Obama’s stature stood up to say it.  In case it wasn’t hugely clear to everyone, it is answers like this that [...]

Occasionaly I Wish I’d Supported Hillary Clinton

When I read things like this New York Times‘ Op-Ed piece, I sort of think that maybe I shouldn’t have been quite so hard on Hillary Clinton during the primary.

Jon Stewart as Pro-Choice Voice

I’m having a lot of trouble embedding the Comedy Central Player into WordPress… please, please watch the video I talk about below here.
I know that I’m a little late on the whole “Jon Stewart is the Most Powerful Man in America” thing, but I have been truly impressed with their coverage of the Republican [...]
