Capitalist Abortion

The cost of the average abortion is what, a few hundred or so dollars? 
The cost of an actual unwanted baby is much more worthwhile because you know, life is priceless and it doesn’t matter that the federal government is going to eventually fund part of that baby’s life nor does it matter that an unwanted baby [...]

“Swinging” Voters Can Help Women

Scrambled “McEmbryo”

Two things I’d like to offer on this billboard I found on feminist philosophers’ blog, never mind the apparent error placement of a pro-life billboard mentioning that embryos are babies and below it a McDonald’s ad of an egg dreaming about becoming an Egg McMuffin. It actually cracked me up.  Ok, I admit that was bad…
