Wow PETA. Wow.
I mean, seriously? I shouldn’t be surprised. As has been written about on this site again and again and again, PETA is about as misogynistic an organization as they get. But this is beyond the pale.
This proposed billboard and press release essentially embodies the fundamental argument against abortion, which is that the woman [...]
U.S. tax code limits the political activities of 501(3)c organizations–basically, non-profits can’t participate directly in political campaigns, nor are they allowed to use a large percentage of their funds for lobbying activities.

This week I wanted to delve a little bit further into the topic by sharing a few suggestions for talking to pro-life family members about choice. I intentionally use the term pro-life here instead of anti-choice, because [...]
This week’s murder of Dr. George Tiller is a tragic reminder that the extreme right wing vigilantes who call themselves “pro-life” are anything but that. Scott Roeder was arrested on Monday in Kansas for shooting and killing Dr. Tiller while Tiller was at church. Roeder was also charged with aggravated assault for injuring [...]
