If a woman in Virginia has a miscarriage without a doctor present, they must report it within 24 hours to the police or risk going to jail for a full year. At least, that’s what would have happened if a bill introduced by Virginia state Sen. Mark Obenshain (R) had become law. And yet, the […]

A new app allows you to scan a product in the supermarket aisle and learn who exactly is behind that box of cereal. More impressively, you can join user-created campaigns to boycott groups of companies who may have lobbied against a cause you believe in.

stfuconservatives:
“So I shouldn’t be surprised that the Mother’s Day Parade shooting has largely been forgotten. On Sunday, shots were fired into a crowd during a parade in the New Orleans 7th ward. Police said they saw three suspects running from the scene.
This is the largest mass shooting in the United States where the shooters were still at large after the crime was committed. Think about...

stfuconservatives:
The Working Families Flexibility Act will make it easier for employers to avoid paying for overtime and give workers far less flexibility in their lives.
A few people have asked why I’m against this bill. It’s a fair question: what’s so bad about getting to choose whether you get overtime pay or comp time (paid time off) at your job? If you’re a working parent, or you wish...

Watchtimekiller-s:
Meant to post this last night: Rachel Maddow’s segment with Mark Barden, one of the Sandy Hook fathers, with Barden’s searing indictment of Sen. James Inhofe (R-OK). I don’t blame him.
I really, really want to say that many of us in Oklahoma are disgusted with Jim Inhofe — for many things, not just his cruel and inappropriate attack on the Sandy Hook families. Yes, we know he...

She was forced into a polygamous marriage, tethered to a metal cable, and raped daily until she was rescued from her captors nine months later. Smart was recovered while she and her...

caffeinatedfeminist:
There are recorded mentions of birth control methods (albeit rather bizarre ones) dating back to AT LEAST Ancient Egypt.
So, no, try another argument.
Birth control has been around since about 15 mins after the first baby was born. Only the ignorant would argue otherwise.
