It's NOT Obamacare or Obama's Healthcare Plan
agirlnamedstewart:
It’s the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act. Did people call HIPPA “Clintoncare”? I know HIPPA and PPACA aren’t the same thing.
All this Obamacare language smacks of how the default for dialation and extraction is now partial birth abortion. Language defines how we view our world. I wonder if people would be so vitriolic over patient protection and affodable care.

Your period
The negatives
Say bye bye to wearing white bottoms this week
You want to claw everybodys face off
CRAAMMPSS!
You cry over everything that goes wrong
Back pain
Your face breaks out
Cravings for random food that aren’t in your house
Your jeans won’t zip
The positives
You’re not pregnant

Drill, Drill, Drill by Eve Ensler
I am having Sarah Palin nightmares. I dreamt last night that she was a member of a club where they rode snowmobiles and wore the claws of drowned and starved polar bears around their necks. I have a particular thing for Polar Bears. Maybe it’s their snowy whiteness or their bigness or the fact that they live in the arctic or that I have never seen one in person or touched one. Maybe it is...

Rabble: Call your representatives today →
rabbleprochoice:
Tell them that ALL rape is forcible. If you have a daughter, a sister, a mother, an aunt, a girlfriend, please call your representatives to remind them just WHAT this redefinition of rape will mean for them. Saying “no” will not be enough, under this new redefinition, to give them BASIC CARE after their abortions.
Do some research on your representatives and appeal to the...

– And, yes, this is going on.
Let’s outline, one more time, the reasons why requiring “force” as a part of legally defined rape is a bad idea, hey? Because there are many. And let’s skip right past the part where many rapes would no longer be defined as such (I’m… really not sure how you redefine...
