Here I go losing friends on facebook again
Someone posted this
And knowing me I cannot shut up if someone’s rights are being stepped on. If you are prolife that’s fine. Its your choice not to have an abortion. But things like that photo and comments like this “ Because people don’t want to have an abortion and think that they’re actually killing a person. It keeps it off the conscience that way.” upset me.
I replied saying, “A...

File Under: Way To Stay Classy AZ
Summary:
A pretty fitting response to the language of the bill, which, according to a Senate fact sheet, “Prohibits using any electronic or digital device, instead of a telephone, with the intent to terrify, intimidate, threaten, harass, annoy or offend a person.”
One of the most popular Twitter accounts associated with the Anonymous community,...

Don’t want to have sex with Rush Limbaugh? You’re a humorless feminazi. Want to use contraception while having sex? You’re a filthy slut. Have sex without contraception and find yourself pregnant? You’re an idiot. Need an...

Friend — I’m officially back on the campaign trail. And it feels great to be out there. Because really, what being on the campaign trail means to me is simple: talking to you. What supporters across the country are thinking about right now is what’s going to be on our minds every day between now and Election Day. And for four years after that. So I’d like to ask you one question right now:...

What’s Behind the Conservative Attack on Women? :... →
ragingbeard:
The real attraction of the birth-control issue was that it could be used to bash Obamacare. It’s not proving to be a very effective weapon, however. When birth control is uncoupled from the religious-freedom argument—and when conservatives start talking in ugly ad-hominem language, like Limbaugh’s, or clueless anachronistic language, like Santorum’s—women, in particular, do not...

No one’s politics should interfere with a woman’s access to birth control!
Yesterday, the all-male New Hanover County Board of Commissioners unanimously voted to turn down a state family planning grant that would cover contraceptives and other family planning services.
When asked why he was voting to reject this grant and deny women basic health care, Commissioner Rick Catlin said he...

Help protect voting in North Carolina →
The new leadership in the NC General Assembly is pushing legislation to make voting harder for working people, senior citizens, people of color, and students. They want to shorten Early Voting, end Same-Day Registration during Early Voting, and require registered voters to show a government photo ID when they vote. Safeguards against voter impersonation are working - we don’t need to...

Anti-choice politicians across our country are out of control.
What other conclusion can you draw from the all-male panel at a congressional hearing on birth control? Or what about Rush Limbaugh’s tirade against Sandra Fluke and women who think the birth-control coverage policy is a good thing?
You might have read that these tactics are causing problems for our opponents. We can’t think for a...

For those select few who do get an education, rather than working on a road crew, what should be taught in the classroom? “Darwin’s theory of evolution should not be taught as absolute fact in the science classroom,” he has mused. On law and history Santorum squares off against what he sees...

"Sex Strike" to support women's rights to... →
On the one hand, I think this says something great that men have to have sex as well for a baby. It takes two to tango and it’s not just “keeping your legs closed.”
On the other hand, my boyfriend fully supports a woman’s right to contraception and supports Obama’s legislation so I’m not sure what withholding sex from him would accomplish xD

George Zimmerman should be arrested, MOST DEFINITELY. Why is this even a question? Why is this something people need to sign a petition for? Walking down the street while black is not a crime, murder is.

Dear MoveOn member,
When Rosa Parks refused to leave her seat and launched the Montgomery bus boycott, it wasn’t just a spontaneous decision. She’d been trained in nonviolent direct action at a place caller the Highlander Center. And the brave folks who organized the freedom rides and the lunch-counter sit-ins had similar training.
Now, from the Wisconsin workers who took over their...

I have always considerated myself an independent but recently I feel more and more liberal. I wanted to start this blog for a few reasons. One is that while talking to Amy I said something like I don’t care that money equals speech now but speech still equals speech.

I am a socially liberal woman who currently resides in North Carolina. Tumblr is my safe place because too often, when I venture out, I am saddened by the people around me. I am 23 years old and graduated with a teaching degree. Yay, Amy is a...
