Yes, you did ask for my pardon, ahunt, when you said, "pardon me if I wish the nightmare of anencephaly on you and yours, progo." You are not pardoned.

According the surveys conducted by the company Apoyo for the daily El Comercio, 53 percent disapprove of abortion when pregnancy is the result of rape, and 41 percent approve.
What percentage would say that married women who are raped by someone other than their husbands should be guilty of adultery?
WAIT Training is not about left or right, religious or secular. It is about the condition of the human heart and the longing to be loved, cherished, adored and valued. In fact, the students and the adults who are from the most high risk communities and from the lowest socioeconomic backgrounds are the most responsive to the love lessons and skill buidling in the WAIT Training curriculum.
I thought you all were tolerant and open to a diversity of ideas. I also thought you were advocates for children and the oppressed. I guess I was wrong.
I didn't say you "shouldn't be surprised" if you experience a disaster in a pregnancy or that I thought you should experience it. I specifically said that I hope you never do. I also said it wouldn't be surprising if your feelings on the issue were changed by having the experience directly. I disagree that believing you are capable of learning compassion from direct experience is "an evil way to think". Wrong maybe, attributing to you abilities beyond your scope possibly, but I just can't see how that's evil.
Well, by that logic, I guess I can feel free to take the position that we "shouldn't be surprised" that Dr.Tiller was shot-after all, he did kill thousands of late term fetuses and then he was killed; and, you can feel free to take the position that Mr. Poulin got what he deserved for displaying pictures of aborted fetuses outside high schools. Hey, it's just Karma. I don't think that, I think that's an evil way to think, but isn't that just as logical as you saying that because I disagree with ahunt and you on the issue of anancephaly, I "shouldn't be surprised" if I experience it?

Some people consider that an unwillingness to act compassionately towards someone in a terrible situation might encourage the universe to see to it that you get to experience that situation firsthand. Personally I think it's a lot more random than that, and hope nothing bad happens in your life, but I wouldn't be surprised to find that a direct personal experience where you get to walk in those shoes just might make you a little more humble and lessen your self-righteousness about the actions of the rest of humanity.
My son would have died under the Stupak Amendment. Help stop it from becoming law and ensure that you and I can make our own decisions about what is good for our families.
Progress on health reform legislation forces us to mobilize to prevent passage of the Stupak Amendment. But our next step must be to take stock of why and how we got here in the first place.
Uganda's proposed "anti-homosexuality" law blatantly disregards the Ugandan Constitution and international law, and would undermine free speech, expression, association and assembly, and the right to be free from violence and discrimination.
Gail Collins book covers the recent revolution in women's roles without the burden of someone trying to advance feminist theory or muse on the movement from within.
The best way to be an ally and a support to anyone often starts with questions like "How can I support you?" or "What do you want and need from me in this?" Then you listen to the answers and respond accordingly.
Too attached to Edward Cullen for your feminist sensibilities? Just in time for Thanksgiving, here's an unorthodox guide to kicking the Twilight habit.
As Thanksgiving Day quickly approaches, we want to take a moment to reflect on how grateful we are for the people who help make RH Reality Check what it is today.
The Stupak furor has obscured the shocking fertility and family control provisions in current health care legislation. The House bill actually authorizes a plan to monitor the childbearing decisions and family lives of low-income women.
Revisions in Peru's Penal Code may lead to decriminalizing abortion in cases of rape or severe disability of the fetus. But conservative political and religious forces are, predictably, opposing these changes.
Rights advocates can forget that there is an entire world of potential allies out there we may be missing because we are not effectively communicating with them.
Muslim women in India are caught between the strictures of family and personal law and persistent discrimination against them as women from both the Indian government and society writ large.
Opponents and supporters of women's choices in childbearing agreed early on, in theory, to maintain the “status quo” with "abortion neutral" health care legislation. The Senate bill achieves this goal; the House bill does not.
An epidemic of sexually transmitted infections in the U.S. disproportionately affects blacks, youth, gays and the poor. Talking openly about sex is the first step in prevention.
Bethany Cajúne, pregnant and in a substance abuse recovery program, was jailed for 19 days for traffic violations. But officials repeatedly denied her a drug necessary to her recovery, putting her health and the life of her fetus at risk.
No one reading this has forgotten that the House passed a healthcare “reform” bill that includes the Stupak Amendment. Here's a speech Congressman Stupak needs to hear.
Rick Warren tells Meet the Press he doesn't take "sides" in political debates; South Korea uses pro-natalist fears to restrict women's access to abortion.
The CDC releases its annual "Abortion Surveillance" report on abortion in the United States, for 2006. The report says the surveillance provides critical information needed to evaluate programs aimed at preventing unintended pregnancy.
