Liberty, Stand Up to Stupak!

Bart Stupak’s amendment to HR 3962 prevents women receiving federal subsidies from buying health insurance that covers abortion.

Bart Stupak’s amendment to prevent anyone receiving a federal subsidy from buying a health insurance plan that covers abortions is a shocking attack on women on welfare. What’s [...]

The Rape Index: Statistics Speak for Themselves
In the words of Harper’s Magazine editor Roger Hodge, the magazine’s monthly Index is “a statistical poem.” He presumeably meant that it allows the reader to experience it and come to his or her own conclusions. Today, instead of explaining a position, I offer a ‘statistical poem’ about rape. Each statistic is preceeded by the [...]

One Vagina, Two Vaginae: Red Vagina vs. Blue Vagina.
Well, I have to admit it: I’m kinda angry. Or to put it less originally, MY VAGINA’S ANGRY! “Whoa,” you are saying as you back out of the room, “easy there, cowgirl.” I mean, really, that’s a joke: I feel my anger in my brain — you know, that pea-sized appendage. That’s also where I [...]
