Texas Rep, Having Failed to Pass Anti-Choice Law, Orders Department of Health to Do His Bidding Anyway

Even though lawmakers did not approve these new rules because Zedler’s amendment—and others like it—have repeatedly been shot down in legislative session or languished in committee hearings, the DSHS says it has the “authority” to initiate them anyway, so that’s what they’re going to do.

In Pure Wisconsin Spirit, Planned Parenthood Vows To Continue After Bombing

This act of domestic terrorism comes from a new line of attacks from the anti-life, anti-choice crowd. There is nothing “pro-life” about planting a bomb. There is nothing “pro-life” about restricting access to birth control, therefore raising the poverty rate and literally killing the hundreds of thousands to millions that rely on these meds to survive due to reproductive conditions. There is nothing “pro-life” about cutting funding for cancer screenings.

Arizona Bill Bans Abortion After 18 Weeks, Forces Women To Undergo Transvaginal Ultrasounds

Make no mistake about it. Republicans want to force women to stay pregnant, and they’re willing to sanction rape and violate Supreme Court rulings to do it. Senate Republicans in Arizona have passed a bill that bans abortion after 18 weeks of pregnancy and forces women to endure transvaginal ultrasounds before having an abortion.

The GOP Field Guide to Women’s Bodies

Despite being birthed by a woman, spending puberty developing a minor case of carpal tunnel fantasizing about women, spending all of college trying to get laid by women — despite all these things, the GOP’s beliefs about women and their bodies are not much more reasonable than a full blown belief in magic.

Sandra Fluke, Nicolle Wallace, Chelsea Clinton And More Talk Women In Politics

For Sandra Fluke, the Georgetown University law student who unwittingly stepped into the national spotlight when she argued the case for contraception coverage in front of Congress and was called a “slut” by Rush Limbaugh for her effort, the talk show host’s slur wasn’t only an insult. It was also an opportunity.
