Lies Told By Republican Fundraisers
From a fundraising letter sent me last month by the “College Republican National Committee”: These [anti-war] protests are being led by liberal professors leftover from the 1960’s… the same professors who fail students for simply expressing their support of President … Continue reading
Withdrawn
The White House has withdrawn its SCOTUS nominee, Harriet Miers. Hm. Guess she won’t make it on the highest bench after all. UPDATE: NARAL Pro-Choice America’s response to the withdrawal.
How to eliminate extreme poverty according to the UNFPA
Via Planned Parenthood, the UNFPA has recently released its 2005 State of the World Population report. Which in my opinion states the obvious. That the elimination of extreme poverty cannot be achieved without ensuring gender equality and making reproductive healthcare … Continue reading
Good news, Bad news, more Miers zaniness
First up–some good news (if you’re a woman in Alaska), via Bush v. Choice, and the Alaska State Medical Board, who voted down a proposal that would have required a woman to have a doctor’s appointment before accessing emergency contraception. … Continue reading

(Huzzah!) Well there’s some good news. Bush’s ‘golden boy’ of the FDA has resigned from his post. Though I’m sure she’s pleased in seeing this, Interim President of Planned Parenthood, Karen Pearl, calls for science to return to the FDA’s … Continue reading
Last night, via New Orleans….
Bush’s address to the nation. (shrugs shoulders) Well personally, after watching the speech all I was left with was a skeptical outlook, yet again. And how could I forget some cynicism to go along with that sentiment–but that’s just how … Continue reading
