Yesterday the Texas state Senate took up what would have been the harshest anti-abortion legislation in the country. Luckily Democratic State Senator, Wendy Davis, wasn’t going to stand for it and stages a 12+ hour filibuster. Throughout the duration of the filibuster, there were some very stressful times, where state Republicans failed to shut it […]
Byron York has a blog post up which must be one of the most idiotic things I have read in a long time: Byron York: Voters fret about economy, Dems focus on abortion “This election, to me, is about which candidate is more likely to return us to full employment,” says former President Bill Clinton […]
This weekend Missouri Senate candidate, Rep. Todd Akin (R-MO), make big news when he declared women could shut off their bodies from getting pregnant during a “legitimate rape”.

This is just insane: Anti-choice Sen. Jim DeMint (R-S.C.) just filed an anti-choice amendment to a bill related to agriculture, transportation, housing, and other programs. The DeMint amendment could bar discussion of abortion over the Internet and through videoconferencing, even if a woman’s health is at risk and if this kind of communication with her […]

Again Justice Antonin Scalia gives reason for a judicial malpractice clause in our Constitution. In a recent interview, this is what Scalia had to say: In 1868, when the 39th Congress was debating and ultimately proposing the 14th Amendment, I don’t think anybody would have thought that equal protection applied to sex discrimination, or certainly […]
