I have to wonder where these dumbasses come from.  Seriously, this is about the fourth major misogynist/rape apology thing Republican men have done or said this week: http://www.rhrealitycheck.org/article/2012/08/23/idaho-republican-%E2%80%98i-don%E2%80%99t-think-women-even-know-what-rape-is%E2%80%99

And yes, he's another one of those "Famblee ( Read more... )

If you can't fucking figure out how a woman's body works in basic reproduction, not only do you automatically fail Human Biology 101, but also should disqualify you from making laws and opinions about women's issues in general.

And yes, Mr. Akin, women CAN get pregnant by rape, unless there is some form of preventive BC involved such as the " ( Read more... )

Y'know, I get really fucking sick and tired of Republicans using such chaotically-stupid hyperbole when it comes to anything that offends their precious sensibility.

Pennsylvania Rep. Mike Kelly (R), an ardent opponent of abortion rights, said that today's date would live in infamy alongside those two other historic occasions. Wednesday marked the ( Read more... )

Apparently, these geniuses are behind the Komen/Planned Parenthood kerfuffle:

Church opposition reached dramatic new proportions in 2011, when the 11 bishops who represent Ohio's 2.6 million Catholics announced a statewide policy banning church and parochial school donations to Komen.

Such pressure helped sway Komen's leadership to cut funding to ( Read more... )

Especially when US male politicians are nothing but man-children who treat our state houses as if it were a frat house and not a, oh, you know, a place where important state/federal business is conducted?  If I were Mr. Albo's wife, I'd divorce the asshole just for making hay over how she hurt his fee-fees by not having sex with him after learning ( Read more... )

Naturally, I'm never surprised when Rick Santorum comes up with such blatant asshattery with what he spews forth from that stupid mouth of his, but of course the fact that he re-hashed the ole' "make lemons into lemonade" bullshit when it comes to impregnated rape victims is of a particularly special kind of asshattery nonetheless.

I don't think I ( Read more... )

So a certain female representative from the great state of Virginia, who is named Virginia Foxx (R, naturally), claims that she is all for women's rights except when she isn't.

Guess she didn't get the memo that being against a woman's right to choose her own reproductive destiny is among the very definitions of being misogynist.  Or that being a ( Read more... )

Normally, I would not dare go anywhere near Fox News, because a)they are a right-wing propoganda outfit and not really "news" b) the man who runs NewsCorp is a douchebag who allows his minions to violate the privacy rights of others by tapping their phones (and doing Goddess-knows-what-else-illegal means of doing business) and c) said douchebag ( Read more... )

Lila Rose is one sad sad little girl.  You see, she has this little anti-choice club where she had people posing as pimps and prostitutes in an effort to make Planned Parenthood look bad.  However, her actions were exposed as a hoax when Planned Parenthood reported the incidents to the FBI and Attorney General Holder.  Now, she's just flailing ( Read more... )
