As disturbing as those issues are to me, I want to focus on an important, but unspoken part of the pro-choice/pro-life dialogue. That is, women bear the overwhelming brunt of the condemnation when it comes to abortion and bear the most responsibility for birth control in general.

Hi Middle America, poor white people, and everyone else so mad that the world was no longer favoring just you and your shitty circumstances, that you voted for a maniacal…

We were having this big family reunion and my mother decided she was going to make several brussel sprout casseroles for the dinner. The thing is I don't like brussel sprouts, but if I have to, yeah, I'll eat them. I talked to my mother and tried to get her to make her amazing kugel, a noodle casserole that is out of this world. You see the problem with brussel sprouts is that not many people like them, but people love some kugel.

Why has the cost of EpiPen risen over 500% in the last 9 years? Because Mylan and their CEO decided to excessively profit off of the sale of a dirt-cheap medication and relatively cheap delivery technology that routinely saves peoples’ lives, including young children.

The next Republican Congress and President will, rather than make improvements and expand health insurance to all, repeal the Affordable Care act and fire 23 million Americans from their insurance policies, eliminating their financial ability to receive healthcare.
Missouri Lawmaker Wants To Make Biology Class An Elective

Missouri Lawmaker Wants To Make Biology Class An Elective

Fact:  You cannot teach biology without evolution. Several years ago, my 10th grade son was taking AP Bio.  My Bio major (and quite successful immunologist today) brother asked to see his textbook.  When I (art major sister) asked why, my brother said, "Just wanted to make sure the textbook started off with evolution.  It does, so all is fine." Which brings us to this nonsense:
A Missouri lawmaker has proposed what ranks among the most anti-evolution legislation in recent years, which would require schools to notify parents if "the theory of evolution by natural selection" was being taught at their child's school and give them the opportunity to opt out of the class. The bill had its first public hearing Thursday after being introduced in late January. State Rep. Rick Brattin (R), who sponsored the bill, told a local TV station last week that teaching only evolution in school was "indoctrination."

Yep, it's possible.
Belief in evolution among Republicans has dropped more than 10 percentage points since 2009, according to a new poll by the Pew Research Center. Pew found that 43 percent of Republicans said they believed humans and other living beings had evolved over time, down from 54 percent in 2009. More (48 percent) said they believed all living things have existed in their present form since the beginning of time.
Oh my, that's embarrassing.  Guess all this talk of the importance of STEM classes doesn't resonate with the GOP.  Science, technology, engineering and math are obviously not Jesus approved.  Good luck with that.
ABC Is Wrong To Hire Jenny McCarthy For The View

ABC Is Wrong To Hire Jenny McCarthy For The View

I would really like to know ABC's thinking on this.  First, the only subject that Jenny McCarthy seems to have had an opinion on is vaccines cause autism.  I've actually spent the last half hour googling her to discover if her activism crosses into areas other than autism and came up empty handed.  So why would ABC select one issue McCarthy to co-host a show that covers a multitude of issues? And there's concern over giving Jenny McCarthy such a large platform.
