After the discussion from yesterday, I’ve decided that we should go ahead and start that Twitter hashtag that was discussed. And since my recently departed iPhone has come back to me, I can actually participate more fully! The hashtag is #thanksppfa. I went with PPFA, which is more specific, but…
I hope this isn’t boring you guys, but I need to do some more blogging on the Live Action/Lila Rose situation. As I’ve noted before, Rose knows and works with James O’Keefe, and she shares his belief that deceptive editing and outright lying are acceptable means to their ends. The…
Some of you may not know, but James O’Keefe—sleazeball, professional liar, attacker of teachers who provide special ed, and totally not at all creepy guy who tries to trap women on boats to film them being terrified of “seduction” involving refusing to let someone go—got his start doing anti-choice stuff…
I’m sure you’ve heard the story by now of Abby Johnson, the director of the Planned Parenthood in Bryan, TX (outside of College Station, where Texas A&M is located), who had a sudden change of heart and now works for the Coalition for Life. Her story is full of holes,…

Because what this country needs when feeding and…
I saw this circulating around on the emails, and it ended up resulting in a big win for Planned Parenthood. Call it the ultimate in grassroots activity, a viral email urging people to donate to Planned Parenthood “in honor of Sarah Palin” generated more than 31,313 donations totaling more than…
I’m feeling very positive about Obama’s chances of winning this week. Why? Because I don’t think I’ve ever seen these levels of right wing desperation. Completely unable to make a case for McCain or against Obama with the public, the wingers are flailing around trying to grab onto any wedge…
Kathryn Lopez decides to write about Planned Parenthood’s “Take Care Down There” campaign, a frank and forthright series of web videos about sexual health.
