Note: this was originally posted by Dr. Sharon Presley and was co-authored by 11 individuals involved in the libertarian movement. The full version of the open letter appears here. (Edited 2.3.12; in my rush to get this up online, I had inaccurately credited Presley as the sole author of the letter.) Stefan Molyneux’s recent video, [...]
Yes, I’m the asshole for ever pointing out misogyny over there. CAUSE OMG THEY’RE ALL FEMINIST AS HELL, Y’ALL! /eyeroll
Let’s ignore the fact that I’m a bit confused on how Parker could be emptying her bank account by depositing checks into it. Let’s also ignore the subtle misogyny in the PPD & TSA’s actions here; John Parker is not Kathy Parker’s keeper, nor does Kathy Parker belong to John Parker. Let’s think, instead, about [...]
Abortion is green! For the next few weeks, NNAF is running their second annual Bowl-a-Thon fundraiser. NNAF — the National Network of Abortion Funds — works with regional groups to provide private funding for abortions. Basically, you fork over money and that money is used to pay for a woman’s abortion (either in part or [...]
This post also appeared at Gonzo Times. So, people are understandably pissed over Glenn Beck’s assertion that only hookers need Planned Parenthood.

I figured that was a good opening for some links on girls and music: Girls Rock Philly. “Girls Rock Philly (GRP) is an initiative to bring Philadelphia a girls-only, week-long summer day camp [...]
You may agree with Sheen’s views on rehab, the government, 9/11, or therapy. You know what they say: even a broken Charlie Sheen is right two times a day. The thing is, a changed man who cured himself through “winning” doesn’t gleefully proclaim that a rapper “inspires [him] to stay violent.” How on Earth can [...]
Tomorrow, I’ll be heading to the post office to mail off a stack of postcards for National Day of Appreciation for Abortion Providers (March 10th). Each one has the following message on them: Dear _____, Happy National Day of Appreciation for Abortion Providers! Thank you for all your hard work & your commitment to reproductive [...]
Over the past few months, pro-choice advocates have been getting slammed with news articles detailing various states’ proposed abortion law changes.
