Anonymous asked: I feel extremely lazy asking this, but I have done exhaustive searches on JSTOR, Google Scholar, and the library website for my university in attempts to find research (or any other type of scholarly article) related to the the effects abortion clinic protesters have on women's emotional response to her abortion. Off the top of your head, do you have any information that could point me in the...

Anonymous asked: One pro-life argument I don't get is where they say (or make pictures that say) the fetus is the body of another person so the woman has no say, even though the fetus' body is inside the woman's body. But... when a man puts his penis in a woman's vagina (or mouth)... the penis is inside her but it's not her body, so using the previous logic, shouldn't she not have a...

That is an amazing gif.
I don’t really get why pro-lifers think this is such a great quote.
Is it supposed to make a person who had an abortion believe they are the parent of a dead child and suddenly need to break down and regret their decision?
What is the purpose of it? It’s such a self-gratifying...

nachtflix asked: Considering how dire the economy is, I can't believe there's not more outrage over the fact that tax dollars are being wasted on bills that everyone KNOWS will fail when brought to the courts. Whether you agree with abortion or not, can't we all agree that this is a gross misuse of tax dollars and, maybe, our elected officials should focus more on making actualized lives better...

Calculator: How Expensive is Birth Control? →
keepyourboehneroutofmyuterus:
Fun calculator at link!
To hear some conservative politicians tell it, you’d think birth control pills fall from the sky and IUDs grow on trees. During the recent controversy over President Barack Obama’s rule requiring insurance companies to offer birth control free of charge, GOP presidential hopeful Rick Santorum claimed birth control “costs just a few...

Sandra Bernhard talks to Cenk Uygur of TheYoungTurks.com about Democrats’ apparent willingness to push back against religious groups that want to block insurance coverage of birth control. “This is a whole new level of ignorance that we’ve never seen in this country,” Bernhard says, especially when it comes to the candidate she calls “Sick Rantorum.” She says, “Now we just have ...

In 1979, McDonald’s introduced the Happy Meal.
Sometime after that, it was decided that the Bible teaches that human life begins at conception.
Ask any American evangelical, today, what the Bible says about abortion and they will insist that this is what it says. (Many don’t actually believe this, but they know it is the only answer that won’t get them in trouble.) They’ll...

You know, words mean things. (Trigger Warning)
Telling people to go die or go and kill themselves actually means something. And when that becomes something you say at the end of every argument you have with someone who disagrees with you, not only is it juvenile, but it can have a real and tangible effect.
If someone DOES commit suicide because of a person’s near constant cries for them to do so during an argument, I only hope the...

How does The Pill work?
themodelofhealthproject:
Regardless of your views on The Pill, I’m going to explain how it works. Even if you don’t believe in contraception, I think it’s important to understand what it is, how it works and more importantly, why it fails. I’ve been on it myself for quite some time now and I realized that I was sort of taking it with blind faith in it’s magical powers to prevent pregnancy....
Seriously people.
Abortion was available well before Roe v. Wade. Abortions happened in biblical times and even before that. Remedies for terminating a pregnancy have been around for FOREVER. Midwives didn’t just help deliver babies, ya’ll.
And making abortion illegal will not change this fact nor will it stop people from continuing to terminate their pregnancies.
Abortion is not a modern day...
