The House GOP's Plan to Redefine Rape →
notemily:
thehumorlessfeminist:
This is beyond sickening.
With this legislation, which was introduced last week by Rep. Chris Smith (R-N.J.), Republicans propose that the rape exemption be limited to “forcible rape.” This would rule out federal assistance for abortions in many rape cases, including instances of statutory rape, many of which are non-forcible. For example: If a 13-year-old...

Frank throws up another must read fastball but this time he really hits it past the wall. This is one of those pieces that makes me want to close up this little shop and redirect the domain to it. To quote any single part of it would be a disservice to you the reader but also, more importantly, the work. I can’t believe it is this early in the year and I may...

DonorsChoose.org is an awesome organization that connects teachers who need funding for classroom projects and supplies with people who want to help. Because I set up a monthly donation I’ll get a handy reminder each month to pick a project to donate $10 to, or if I don’t pick, the site will give that $10 to a project that really needs support. Scheduled do-gooding is never a bad...

Dupnik said that when Loughner ran out of bullets in his first magazine clip, a woman who had already been shot “went up and grabbed” the new magazine “and tore it away from him.” Dupnik said the name of the woman was known but he did not share it during the press conference.
After the confrontation with the woman, Loughner was able to load another magazine into his weapon, but “the...

winstonwolfe:
When you live in a country, no matter where on the globe it is, where individuals with a huge media spotlight feel it’s appropriate to issue a political “Hit List”, this type of thing can happen. “This type of thing”, being an attempt in broad daylight to take out an opposing political view.
Think about that for a moment…this wasn’t in an open market in Baghdad, a traffic circle...
