In elementary school, you probably learned that the skin is the largest organ in the human body. Alabama state Rep. Mary Sue McClurkin would like you to know that’s wrong — at least, if you’re a lady, that is. Stupid patriarchal science classes! How could all those biased biology teachers have failed to tell us ladies that the largest organ in a woman’s body is a baby?????? Squeee! More
“A Is For”, has to be one of the most awesome, amazing, awe-inspiring, admirable (do you catch my drift?) organizations out there. Don’t believe me? Just watch their newest video that is fighting back against all those ridiculous Republicans who have been trying to take away our repro rights (and no, this isn’t just an election-worthy video, although it’s pretty timely). More
With only 13 days left on the campaign trail, this is not the time for Republicans to be making idiotic statements, especially about sensitive issues like rape. But, nevertheless, the Republican candidate for Indiana Senate, Richard Mourdock, did just that when he said that pregnancy from rape is something that God intended. Even with Mitt Romney‘s conservative stance on women’s issues, he’s trying hard to let us know that he doesn’t agree with this (even though he supports Mourdock’s election). More
If you really want to piss off Republicans, talk to them about Sandra Fluke and a woman’s right to have taxpayers fund her birth control. Fluke continues to be a thorn in the side of many Republicans, and now Illinois Rep. Joe Walsh is ranting about her and her ‘embarrassing’ stance on birth control at the Democratic National Convention last week. More
Newly-anointed Mitt Romney running-mate Paul Ryan has made his name as a fiscal conservative with a strong vision for Medicare and Social Security. But he’s no slouch in hardcore conservative social ideology, either–as folks have been quick to point out. That his social agenda is highly at odds with his Hayek-and-Rand-tinted small government outlook for money matters seems to surprise some people, but .. eh. That’s just the rhetoric of the Republican party in the 21st century: Hands out of my health care and onto your uterus. What was anyone expecting? Of course, as a women’s health blog, it seems only right that we cover some of the potential vice president of America’s views regarding matters of women’s health. I was all set to right a straight-forward sort of post when a friend directed me to this attempt to apply the Feminist Ryan Gosling meme to Paul Ryan. So hey (girl): What better way to discuss Ryan’s views on women’s health than to badly co-opt this badly co-opted meme? More
Today’s the first day of Elena Kagan’s confirmation hearings as President Obama’s second Supreme Court nominee. Republicans will try to give Kagan a hard time, but she really doesn’t have any major skeletons in her closet to give them fuel. Oh, … More
Last week, after Rep. Joe Barton apologized to BP for what he called the White House’s “shakedown” of the company, Republicans and Democrats alike couldn’t believe it. But you know what? Maybe there are some things for which we need … More
With President Obama’s recent nomination of Elena Kagan to the Supreme Court, conservatives are busy trying to find some dirt on Kagan that will sully the nomination. The best (or worst, I guess) they can come up with are Kagan’s … More
