“pro-choice” label alienates, fewer self-identify

I wonder why. Support for abortion rights dropped to a new low in the 18-year Gallup survey.Witness feminist teeth gnashing over this one: The 41% of Americans who now identify themselves as “pro-choice” is down from 47% last July and is one percentage point below the previous record low in Gallup trends, recorded in May [...]

Bring on the jokes (because abortion is just soooo funny)

The abortion jokes, that is. For some reason liberals happen to think it’s such a laughing matter. Pat Archibold at NCRegister writes: “Newt Gingrich’s campaign is so dead, Mitt Romney wants to baptize it and Rick Santorum wants to put it in a jar and show it to his kids.” That’s the joke that Jimmy [...]

Celebrate mom by helping others avoid motherhood.

This rivals a suggestion on Facebook when a former schoolmate asked others to donate to NARAL in lieu of wrapping up a gift for Christmas. Saves paper and bows! Besides, what says joy of infant Jesus like the slaughter of the unborn? Kirsten Gilibrand stuck her foot in it today. Via Hot Air, behold: “This [...]

Oh history, inevitability and same sex marriage

A very useful reminder from Rich Lowry:   History is littered with the wreckage of causes pronounced inevitable by all right-thinking people. The failed Equal Rights Amendment looked inevitable when it passed Congress in 1972 and immediately 30 states ratified it. Opposition to abortion that was supposed to inevitably wither away is as robust as [...]

“Like, YAY” generation willing to trade “like, liberty” for that pack of free birth control pills

I can’t shake this out of my head. Pundette posted this gem among many yesterday of a college crowd’s response to a Romney rally [emphasis hers]: But there was no indication that Romney’s message resonated. Some of those watching called out “Obama 2012.” The first question was pointed: “So you’re all for like, yay, freedom, and all [...]

Idiocy: Nutella “victims” incapable of reading a label

Apparently we’re all exempt from reading government-mandated nutrition labels on our own. Two moms sued Ferrero USA because they claimed the advertising of the popular European spread led them to believe the product was healthy as it contains hazlenuts, skim milk powder, and cocoa powder. Apparently they never noticed it was sweet. Really sweet. Seriously, who [...]

A parent’s worst nightmare…?

Oh what a tangled web we weave, when first we ad-lib to conceive… From LifeSiteNews Single mom wants baby. But she’s on a budget, so sperm donor is out of the question. So she goes the way of “ex-boyfriend with benefits” – sorta – she pays him $1400 for his “service” – you know his guy friends [...]

Reproductive justice, indeed.

Heh. Via The Lonely Conservative. Need I remind you, the future belongs to the fruitful. UPDATE: linked at Theo Spark. Thanks, Chris! AND at Temple of MUT! Merci!

Taxing motherhood

I’ve highlighted Ann Althouse’s explanation of the tax benefit of having a stay-at-home parent before. A refresher: Why don’t more couples do the math and figure out that they should not do all that extra work for the government? Life is so much simpler with the 1-earner family, and the spouse who doesn’t bring in [...]

Sign of the times: Divorce Bling

Why wait to marry yourself years later and far away? Just go on out and buy your very own “divorce ring” at a jeweler near you. This 18k gold-plated (why splurge for the real deal?) ring from Boticca features a bridal bouquet stuffed into the skull of a dead bird. “Mourning is not just about [...]
