Nation Celebrates Roe v. Wade Birthday With Scary Videos, Hypocrisy, Balloons
Libruls really hit the holiday jackpot this week! First, we had Martin Luther King, Jr. Day and Inauguration Day at the same time, which appropriately coincided with the made-up Fox News holiday, “Sadness Day” (a holiday Olds celebrate by eating burnt pot roast and scowling at Wheel of Fortune). But the fun did not stop [...]
Karen Santorum Proves Rick Doesn’t Hate Women: He Cleaned Kitchen a Few Times
Rick Santorum is not a vagina-hating monster, according to Rick Santorum’s wife. What evidence have you to submit in the idiot’s favor, Karen, or will you merely plead insanity? “When I was doing my book tours,” she offers in a CNN interview, “Rick was the one who was home changing diapers and making meals and [...]
WI Lawmakers Bravely Avoid Urgent Bills In Favor of More Rules For Uteri
Every day is now “women are deranged child-eating sluts who should be slapped” day, as evidenced by the fact that this is 130% of what has been appearing in our Google Reader for news-cycle eternity.

Arizona So Going To Win This Birth Control Coverage Denial Contest
Arizona heard there was some serious crazy goin’ around the country, some of that fun vagina-hatin’ crazy, so they said to themselves, is someone doin’ crazy better than Arizona these days?

VA Lawmaker Adds Male Anal Exam Fairness Rule To New Abortion Law
Hero Virginia state Senator Janet Howell responded to another one of these stoopid bills requiring women seeking an abortion to first undergo a medically pointless ultrasound with a very smart amendment: every man seeking treatment for erectile dysfunction would also by law have to undergo a rectal exam and heart test to get a Viagra [...]
Michigan Proposes Helpful Law To Harass Women Who Miscarry
Last year a group of rabid little anti-choice trolls in Michigan pretended to find a bunch of “fetal remains” while they were rummaging through a dumpster behind a women’s clinic, which, right, TOTALLY PRETEND. But this did not stop worried state lawmakers from feeling like they weren’t allowed to appear indifferent to fictional globs of [...]
Angry Troll Leading Personhood Campaign That Bans IVF Has IVF Kids
The generally obese, illiterate citizens of Mississippi are for some reason voting today on an insane initiative widely billed as a litmus test on “how fucking backasswards can Mississippi possibly be?” that will determine whether the state adds a constitutional amendment defining fertilized egg blobs to be “persons.” The rest of you humans, fuck off! [...]
Conservative Professor Protests Use of Term ‘Tea bagger’ In Front of Ladies
How is America’s Socialist Patriarchy oppressing women lately? This time it’s truly awful: college professors are referring to America’s patriots as “tea baggers” in classrooms! WHAT?!? Now some of you may not know this, but the term “tea bagging” leads a sneaky double life, both as a term for the hazy Jesus warrior collective trying [...]
FLOTUS Celebrates International Women’s Day With Abortion Party
International Women’s Day is a special holiday that began a century ago, because women were becoming more vocal in campaigning for progress — so this year’s version was marked by ladies showing their boobs at Mardi Gras and a new episode of Teen Mom 2. And it wouldn’t have been a Women’s Day party without [...]
CLINTON TOO OBSESSED WITH CHICKENS TO BOTHER RUNNING THE STATE DEPARTMENT: Hillary Clinton, former presidential contender and current secretary of state, can do whatever she wants to with her time and infinite powers. She could have found that lost cargo ship that the Russians had to go looking for instead, or maybe she could be [...]
OBAMA SIGNS A LAW!: Your president, Barack Obama, signed his first bill into a law today, just like you read about in the textbooks!
