Melissa Harris-Perry Blasts Indiana Candidate Rep. Richard Mourdock

Oct 28, 2012 1 Comment by

The last thing I wanted to do today was to revisit Richard Mourdock’s idiotic comment about rape, abortion, and God. Yeah, I’ve said enough here and here. And quite frankly, I’m sick and tired of debating about God, his will, or his infallibility. However, I did catch the Melissa Harris Perry Show on MSNBC yesterday [...]

Not to belabor a point, but let’s follow-up on what I wrote yesterday in response to Richard Mourdock’s ridiculous comment. Yes, let’s take another look at the idea that a woman becoming pregnant as a consequence of being raped needs to succumb to “God’s will,” and as such, should not be allowed to legally have [...]

Richard Mourdock Says God Uses the Uterus of Pregnant Rape Victims as Gift Wrapping

Oct 24, 2012 2 Comments by

So, Richard Mourdock says God uses the uterus of pregnant rape victims as gift wrapping. As such, abortions should be illegal for women who become pregnant as a result of a non-consensual sexual encounter. And why? Because said pregnancy is a gift, and intended by God acording to the Indiana GOP Senate hopeful currently running [...]

The War on Women Redux: The National Rape Conversation

Aug 28, 2012 No Comments by

As a woman who often labels herself a feminist, and who mostly spends time fighting, tirelessly, for equal rights, I’ve long dreamed for a day where rape would become a major talking piece that the political bigwigs had during election season. And while my dreams have recently turned to reality quite recently, I have questions [...]

Rep. Steve King Has Never Heard of Pregnant Rape or Incest Victims

Aug 22, 2012 No Comments by

Ever heard of a victim of rape or incest getting pregnant? If so, maybe you can clue Rep. Steve King in. According to King, he has never heard of a victim of rape and incest getting pregnant. Truth be told, I believe some of the GOP politicians are in fact a products of incestuous relationships. [...]

Workplace Discrimination: Black Women Fired For Being Pregnant (VIDEO)

May 25, 2012 2 Comments

As if it isn’t bad enough that out of 178 nations, the United States is one of three countries that doesn’t offer paid maternity leave benefits, apparently pregnant women aren’t allowed to be gainfully employed. Somehow I’m not surprised that this is hardly mentioned in the ongoing political “war on women” talks that has persisted [...]

South Carolina Pushes Abortion Ban for Low-Income Victims of Rape & Incest

Apr 27, 2012 5 Comments

It looks like my right-wing friends in South Carolina are up to their usual foolishness again. This time, apparently an unborn fetus has more rights than a woman (or child) reliant on the state health insurance system — you know, mostly low-income women who happen to be a victims of rape, or incest? And, to [...]

New GOP Meme: Obama’s “War on Religion” Over With Catholics, But Now Targets Amish

Feb 10, 2012 9 Comments

OK, so Obama’s “War on Religion” has officially ended. No offense to anyone, but I wish he took care of Jehovah Witness folks knocking on my door; or the creepy guys in white shirts who ride bikes around my neighborhood with said “war”. Oh well, maybe he’ll go after the Amish now. Something tells me [...]

Feb 08, 2012 1 Comment

So what do you do when the economy starts showing positive signs of recovery after yelling that president Obama has failed and that the country is heading in the wrong direction? Well, you do what any Republican running for the highest office in the land would do: you create a wedge issue. Yeah, it’s kinda [...]

Susan G. Komen Foundation: Still Racing for the Cure, Just Not for All Women

Feb 01, 2012 12 Comments

I’ll admit that I’ve not always been a huge fan of the Komen for the Cure foundation. Through the years, we’ve had a rocky relationship; I even tried to be patient with the latent misogyny in the entire “Save the TaTas” campaign because I hoped that in making their message more appealing to young people [...]
