Rachel Maddow’s ‘Man Cave’ Moment: Planned Parenthood Does Oil Changes?

Monday night on MSNBC, Rachel Maddow went off on a tangent so incredibly weird that it is almost impossible to describe. The topic was Indiana Gov. Mitch Daniels, who had apparently signed legislation defunding Planned Parenthood in his state. Maddow then evidently decided that guys in the audience failed to understand why Planned Parenthood is [...]

Half A Century In Space

by Smitty (via Digg) Mashable has a nifty graphic showing major space vehicles over the last 50 years. It was 50 years ago when people first flew in space. Here’s an infographic that shows you the spacecraft humans have flown to reach that great void over the past half-century. With just two flights of the [...]

New Motherf–g Tone Update: Government Shutdown Edition

“We are heading to a shutdown not because of a debate over money, not because of a debate over cuts but because Republicans continue to push a radical agenda against women . . . throwing women and children under the bus.” – Sen. Barbara Mikulski, Maryland Democrat Ezra Klein of The Washington Post claims that a mere [...]

Democrats Draw the Line, Will Shut Down Government Over Planned Parenthood

In her 2006 book, Godless, Ann Coulter called abortion “the holiest sacrament” in the religion of liberalism. Democrats would rather shut down the federal government than de-fund Planned Parenthood: Congressional budget negotiations broke up before dawn on Friday without an agreement, putting the government on a path to a shutdown when financing for federal agencies [...]

UPDATE: The Girl Scouts Sex Scandal

My post Saturday about the March 2010 Girl Scouts scandal — involving a Planned Parenthood “Healthy, Happy and Hot” pamphlet made available at a United Nations conference event — drew some blowback from commenter Paul Katz: The whole thing was a far-religious right slander campaign against the Girl Scouts. . . . Anyone or any blog reposting [...]

Obama Demands That Taxpayers Fund Sexual Pleasure Training for Girl Scouts

Planned Parenthood wants to teach Girl Scouts to be “Healthy, Happy and Hot,” and the president and Senate Democrats insist that U.S. taxpayers help them do it: President Barack Obama would veto the House-approved long-term spending bill for the federal government that contains the Pence Amendment, a measure that would de-fund the Planned Parenthood abortion [...]

Forget the Thin Mints: Now Girl Scouts Learning to Be ‘Healthy, Happy and Hot’

Pundette was writing about the latest United Nations outrage — teaching kids masturbation and oral sex to combat “heterosexism” — and in the process linked to this U.N.-related story you might have missed: The World Association of Girl Scouts and Girl Guides hosted a no-adults-welcome panel at the United Nations [in March 2010] where Planned Parenthood [...]

K-Lo Slams Contraceptive Culture

Too many conservatives nowadays are unwilling to take on the cultural issues that underly much of the debate over public policy, so kudos to Kathryn Jean Lopez for directly addressing the accusation that Republicans, by seeking to defund Planned Parenthood, are “waging war on contraception”: The debate in Congress was given momentum by the Live [...]

‘Disgusting’ Childbirth?

Megan McArdle hasn’t had any babies yet, but she knows women who have: The women I know who have given birth, whether pro-life or pro-choice, do not romanticize it. They speak, of course, of the miracle that it is. But they also speak, often rather too frankly, of how difficult and often disgusting the process [...]

‘Raymond Noodles’?

I’m pretty sure it’s pronounced Rah-men noodles, but whatever. Rep. Gwen Moore (D-Wisc.) thinks it’s terrible that kids have to eat them because they don’t have Planned Parenthood: I just want to tell you what it’s like not to have Planned Parenthood. You have to give your kids ramen noodles at the end of the [...]

Ten House Democrats Join GOP Vote for De-Funding Planned Parenthood

And seven Republicans voted “no” so that the final vote was 240 “yes” (for de-funding) and 185 “no” (against de-funding). UPDATE: Steve Ertelt at Life News: The fight to stop Planned Parenthood funding is not over as the amendment is part of a continuing resolution bill needed to fund the federal government and the funding [...]

‘How Many Girls Have to Die?’

Liberals obviously want this story to go away, but the abortion industry has got too much innocent blood on their hands, and Americans are tired of being taxed to pay for this shameful criminality. Dr. Charmaine Yoest of Americans United for Life: “It is time to hold Planned Parenthood accountable for their seedy business practices,” said [...]
