Goddammit.
Zuzu scooped me on the passing of Molly Ivins, Bush’s personal political Alecto, past mistress of righteous verbal asskicking. This is from a column that ran in the San Francisco Chronicle just a few weeks ago: This war is being prosecuted in our names, with our money, with our blood, against our will. Polls consistently [...]

Scott Lemieux, among many many other bloggers, has written reams about the inconsistent way in which pro-lifers equate fetuses with babies. Another example jumped out at me from this pandagon thread about the trend towards equating “fetal abuse,” the mistreatment of your pregnant body, with child abuse, the mistreatment of a child.

A woman was raped by a stranger, went to the police to report it, and was thrown in jail when a paperwork error showed there was a warrant out for her arrest — from when she was a juvenile. Whoops. The woman had a prescription for emergency contraception from a local hospital, but the medical [...]
