Hey guys...
Sorry about the lack of content.
As I’m sure some of you know it’s Midterms, which means death in my court.
So I’m sending out a call for submissions.
You can use by Submissions link or my Ask box, but if you’ve ever wanted to say anything on pro-choice or if you’ve ever wanted to say something totally radical and pro-choice then now’s your chance.
I promise...
Roeder trial updates! →
Thanks to @rsylvester
A few highlights I caught today:
Roder took the stand.
The judge ruled against the use of voluntary manslaughter. The Jury must decide if Roeder is guilty of first-degree, premeditated murder.
It seems sanity prevailed in general.
“It isn’t our duty to take life, it’s our heavenly father’s.”
– Scott Roeder, anti-abortion activist who shot Dr Tiller, on why abortion shouldn’t be acceptable in the case of incest.
Do the words “cognitive dissonance” mean anything to you, Scotty?
(via traitorous)
Teehee!
You just made my psychology brain very happy. ^___^

Dear Anti-Choice Idiots,
Stop saying “it is murder to kill a baby the day after it’s born, but not the day before”. You’re being lying fuckheads.
No abortions are done past 26 weeks. Ever. It’s dangerous to the mother’s health past that point. Not morally wrong, dangerous. Get that through your heads please. It’s like getting a root canal. There’s nothing morally wrong with...

Every time you claim that a woman has to “take responsibility” for having sex by having a child you are, in effect, calling the fetus a punishment.
ok so ‘taking responsibility’ is always for something bad?
I never said that.

It’s irrelevant to the debate.
