AlterNet: Abstinence Double Standard Threatens Girls’ Health (by Feministing’s Jessica)
Buy My Baby. Selling advertising space on your kid — ethical?
Pregnant and Unhappy About It. “As an abortion provider, I see women every day who don’t identify with either the pro-choice or “pro-life” movement. They come because they’re pregnant and don’t want to be.”
Nancy Keenan, President of NARAL Pro-Choice America: Anti-Choice Legislators Have Gone Too Far (you think?). Perhaps the most entertaining part of the article is the comments section, where a lovely young man from the Army of God (remember them? They reguarly bomb abortion clinics, harass women and have been linked to the murders of abortion providers?) tells us how much the anti-choicers love life and babies. And he really hates the Illuminati, the fact that George Bush planned 9/11 and now wants to put you in a concentration camp, and our impending nuclear annhililation at the hands of Russia. Also, in case you were curious, half of all couples are infertile, the United States government uses foster care as a cover for pedophilia rings, and satanists work at abortion clinics and probably eat dead babies to satisfy their blood lust (since this is done anyway during their human sacrifice ceremonies). Really, check it out. I think resistance6 earns the award for Best Troll EVA.
