iamtalkingback:
In a stunning turn of events, the Virginia Senate has voted 24-14 to scuttle a bill that would have given fertilized eggs the same legal rights as people.
Sen. Richard L. Saslaw, D-Fairfax, proposed that House Bill 1, which had passed the Senate Education and Health Committee earlier today on an 8-7 party line vote, be sent back to the committee and carried...

FFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCCCCCCCCCCCCKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK!
Reproductive rights are being dismantled at an alarming rate here in Texas. Can Amy Poehler do a segment about that on SNL? Can Jon Stewart do one on the Daily Show? Can we get some national media coverage of this? PLEASE!
Unless some last-minute agreement is brokered, the program, which receives $9 in federal...

[CLICK LINK TO WATCH VIDEO]
New Mexico governor Susana Martinez’s life just got significantly less fabulous: her hairstylist, a gay salon owner, has refused to style her hair until she stops opposing gay marriage. Depriving a Republican of the services that keep her looking like a modern June Cleaver is an act of defiance louder than a thousand...

This is an actual bill they are proposing to point out the wrongness of the constant stream of abortion restrictions and bans being proposed. Mostly it highlights the hypocrisy of forcing restrictions on women “for the babeez” but not doing...

Oh! So I was watching Better Off Ted on Netflix (seriously, why was it cancelled? Argh.), and Veridian Dynamics has a Dalek in their basement. Because of course they do.

Women saving women
plannedparenthoodsavedme:
I have to have my second colpo in a year. The first one I had student health insurance to cover. But I’ve graduated and still have no job so Planned Parenthood is my only option. A colpo can cost up to $800 without insurance but my PP only charges $300 and on top of that they have a loan program to cover half the charge. Guess who provides the loan program? Not the...

Hey Tumblr, there are deeds to be done and...
So Budget Travel has a poll up for the 15 places kids should see before 15, and the creation museum is spamming the poll. So can we tumblr bomb this thing? Not that it’s a huge thing, but still. I can’t believe the creation museum has over 3k votes at this point while actual museums have 300 votes or fewer.

LouisTheCat: circumstantial evidence
RickDickens77: Wait, this is ridiculous.
RickDickens77: Those cats are troublemakers.
LouisTheCat: those cats
LouisTheCat: listen to yourself
RickDickens77: I don't hold an opinion about black cats, the ones who did that just happen to be black.

LouisTheCat: but theres this rumor that a few years ago you took a cat from old mrs wembley
RickDickens77: Oh really.

LouisTheCat: rick no
LouisTheCat: how could you even
RickDickens77: IT WAS YOU LOU.
LouisTheCat: you stole me oh my god
