Question Everything
Operation Rescue Reveals Identity of Anonymous Abortion Doctor, Because Abortion Is Like Bank Robbery
Lest anyone remain under the delusion that these people are actually pro-“life”
How is this even legal? They’re purposefully putting these doctors’ lives in danger.
House Passes H.R. 358, the "Let Women Die" Act of 2011
Yesterday the GOP-led House of Representatives, with the blessings and encouragement of the United States Council of Catholic Bishops and extremist religious groups such as the Family Research Council, passed a bill in a vote of 251 to 172 that would, among other things, allow doctors and hospitals to “exercise their conscience” by letting pregnant women facing emergency medical conditions die.
Topeka, Kansas City Council Considers Decriminalizing Domestic Violence to Save Money
Since the county stopped prosecuting the crimes on September 8th, it has turned back 30 domestic violence cases. Sixteen people have been arrested for misdemeanor domestic battery and then released from the county jail after charges weren’t filed.
I’d act surprised, but then again, Kansas is the state that brought us the brutal, cold-blooded murder of Dr. George Tiller. I’d just like to know, why does Kansas hate women?

The Rwandan Genocide of 1994 was a truly traumatic and horrifying event. It was one of the most brutal acts of murder ever committed.
- Over the course of 100 days from April 6 to July 16 1994, an estimated 800,000 to 1 million Tutsis and some moderate Hutus were slaughtered in the Rwandan genocide. A recent report has estimated the number to be close to 2 million.
- During this period of terrible slaughter, more than 6 men, women and children were murdered every minute of every hour of every day. This brutally efficient killing was maintained for more than 3 months.
- There are between 300,000 to 400,000 survivors of the genocide
- Between 250,000 and 500,000 women were raped during the 100 days of genocide. Up to 20,000 children were born to women as a result of rape.
- More than 67% of women who were raped in 1994 during the genocide were infected with HIV and AIDS. In many cases, this resulted from a systematic and planned use of rape by HIV+ men as a weapon of genocide.
- There are 10 times as many widows than widowers – almost 50,000 widows of the genocide.
- Nearly 100,000 survivors are aged between 14 and 21, of which 60,000 are categorised as very vulnerable.
- 75,000 of survivors were orphaned as a result of the genocide.
- Of those that survived the genocide over half the children stopped their schooling, because of poverty.
- 40,000 survivors are still without shelter, many whose homes were destroyed in the genocide.
- 7 in 10 survivors earn a monthly income of less than 5000 Rwandan Francs (Equivalent to 8 (eight) American Dollars)
The Hyde Amendment at 35: Lessons for Activists
The original Hyde Amendment proposal was unabashedly extreme, with no exceptions whatsoever, not even to save a woman’s life. Its sponsors were completely transparent about their goals. Rep. Henry Hyde (R-IL) said in 1976, “I certainly would like to prevent, if I could legally, anybody from having an abortion, a rich woman, a middle-class woman, or a poor woman. Unfortunately, the only vehicle available is the [Medicaid] bill.”
DOJ: Rick Perry's Texas Redistricting Plan Purposefully Discriminated Against Minorities
The Justice Department said late Friday that based on their preliminary investigation, a congressional redistricting map signed into law by Republican presidential candidate Rick Perry appears to have been “adopted, at least in part, for the purpose of diminishing the ability of citizens of the United States, on account of race, color, or membership in a language minority group, to elect their preferred candidates of choice to Congress.”
Waterboarding … “To call something an ‘enhanced interrogation technique’ doesn’t alter the fact that we thought it was torture when the Japanese used it on American prisoners, we thought it was torture when the North Koreans used it, we thought it was torture when the Soviets used it. You know, it’s the moral equivalent of saying that rape is an enhanced seduction technique. ” ~ Ted Koppel
The “enhanced seduction technique” comment is completely brilliant.
Fight the gender binary, free womyn
I thought maybe someone would jump in and stop the madness, but it just keeps getting worse.
“ Republicans have long tried to drive Democratic voters away from the polls. “I don’t want everybody to vote,” the influential conservative activist Paul Weyrich told a gathering of evangelical leaders in 1980. “As a matter of fact, our leverage in the elections quite candidly goes up as the voting populace goes down.” But since the 2010 election, thanks to a conservative advocacy group founded by Weyrich, the GOP’s effort to disrupt voting rights has been more widespread and effective than ever. In a systematic campaign orchestrated by the American Legislative Exchange Council – and funded in part by David and Charles Koch, the billionaire brothers who bankrolled the Tea Party – 38 states introduced legislation this year designed to impede voters at every step of the electoral process. ”

My rallying cry in 2012 will be “Piss off Republicans: cast a vote!”
