Roe v Wade and the Disastrous End of the Poo Baby

Roe v Wade and the Disastrous End of the Poo Baby

Thank you (should I say "thank" you), Scott Lemieux, for linking this display of really first class wingnutty sex hysteria from Maggie Gallagher, where the head of the anti-gay National Organization for Marriage argues that legalizing abortion is bad for women because now they have anal sex, which I guess wasn't an option before because of the fear of making santorum babies. I really needed this, because I spent yesterday morning taping a Bloggingheads with an anti-choicer who kept repeating as a mantra that antis oppose abortion because it's the taking of a human life. (I did not, sadly, have a chance to point out that so is ejaculation, because sperm are, like fetuses, both human and alive. Plus they do fetuses one better, which is they can live outside of their host, sometimes for days.) So, this was a nice refreshing bit of sex-phobic honesty from Gallagher to cleanse the palate.
