I was a little suprised to find an “Abortion vs Adoption” story set on MSN in the same place they usually reserve for the hard-hitting “How to tell if he (she)’s into you” investigative reports. With MSN being what it is, I was suprised by how much they failed to disappoint me. [...]

Our country’s obsession with fetal privilege is supposedly all about loving those darling clumps of cells. Punishing dirty girlz is theoretically just one of its side effects.
Ladies and gentlepeeps of the jury, I present to you people’s #1488760985770 in the case against this ridiculous claim: the story of Christine Hutchinson. Christine is being [...]

Kyso has a point about the Dutch sinking to new lows on the reality TV front, but at least the French stepped up to the plate — the Cannes Film Festival rewarded a political film with the Palme d’Or:
A harrowing film about illegal abortion in Communist-era Romania beat 21 movies by well-known directors such as [...]

Just when you thought reality tv couldn’t get any more tasteless, the Dutch, of all people, set a new bar:
A Dutch TV station says it will go ahead with a programme in which a terminally ill woman selects one of three patients to receive her kidneys.
The donor, a dying woman, will chose the winner with [...]

Via Amanda, ABC wins some sort of record for cramming the greatest amount of anxiety over menstruation possible into a single article. I was honestly shocked to go back up to the byline and discover that the damn thing had been written by a woman.
The curse. Aunt Flo. Riding the Crimson Wave. And, in [...]

In between the two extremes of “No abortions, ever!” and “Abortion on demand without apology” are the great masses of people who find the idea of abortion icky but aren’t quite comfortable with an outright ban. These people usually find a rung of the “exceptions for rape and/or incest and/or fetal deformities and/or the [...]

Oh, man, Kyso wrote the funniest post for you guys today. I’m still wiping the tears from my eyes.
Everyone really would’ve liked it (especially the part about the alleged molestation ring over at Townhall.com), but I’m afraid it couldn’t be posted. Turns out we have a little-known rule requiring all PAB [...]

Joseph A. D’Agostino certainly gets no pleasure from pointing out the delicious irony that because of 40 years of Western feminism, Chinese girls are on the verge of extinction.
Suck it up, ladies, we have no one to blame but ourselves.
The sex imbalance continues to worsen, not improve, thanks to the ever-increasing spread of cheap abortion [...]

A couple of Rebeloution groupies have their own petition up and running for the Rebeloutionettes to thank the Rebeloutionaries for taking the survey which cleared up, once and for all, the modesty issue.*
I mention it only because a quick look at their blog suggests that maybe Marc should expand his Bluey series to include more [...]

Good news from Portugal

Portuguese women will soon have access to legal early-term abortion.
Prime Minister Jose Socrates has said abortion will be legalised in Portugal despite the turnout for a referendum being too low to be legally binding…
The proposal allows all women abortion until the 10th week of pregnancy….
In cases of rape, abortions are allowed within 16 weeks. The [...]

Poor Wyoming. If you had to order the states from most memorable to least, Wyoming would probably land in the low forties, nestled somewhere between Nebraska and Idaho. [Actually, scratch that -- Idaho's shape is quite memorable compared to our National Square of Wyoming.]
Point is, when it comes to Wyoming, there isn’t a [...]

I (heart) me some birth control pill. I really do. I have to admit, I kind of fell for the scare stories about it and avoided it for a long time. I always had an excuse: I don’t see my boyfriend often enough to bother taking a pill every day, I don’t [...]
