According to Marc Thiessen, our stance on Todd Aiken was pretty justified if only if we treat the statement by a Planned Parenthood official the same way. That during a hearing of a Florida Bill to require Abortion Clinics to provide care to any child born as a result of a botched abortion, a Planned …

Colonoscopies and Abortions
Guess which party Senator Donna Campbell belongs to? Hint? She is in Texas. Well she is in favour of Senate Bill 537 which would force all State Abortion Clinics to comply with regulations involving surgical centres by providing a surgeon on premises to deal with complications of abortion. “After a colonoscopy on a man, he …

Reducing Abortion
Richard M. Doerflinger’s article on Washington Post has me intrigued. How do you reduce abortion? From a medical standpoint? Abortion can be a medical or a surgical procedure, each with specific risks. If we can control and totally reduce unwanted pregnancy we can eliminate these risks.

Pray For No Babies, But Condoms Work Better
One of the earliest articles I wrote about was the nature of abortion in the Philippines and in particular what it would mean for an America entranced by the usage of abstinence only education and reduction of women’s access to medicine. But in the wake of Sandy Hook and the Delhi Rapes a little piece …

Thou Shalt Not Tell Half Truths
I am not a part of the Con brigade here (The Conference Brigade… Not the FTB version of Hustle) so I rarely get to show people one of the major issues in pseudoscientific reporting. One of the major problems of reporting of medical literature is the “half truth”. Medical Literature and Research is boring. It’s …

Trigger Warning – Content that follows the jump contains a discussion of Rape and indeed Todd Akin’s comments… I don’t think I need to repeat what everyone else thinks about Todd Akin’s “Legitimate Rape” comment, but needless to say it’s quite possibly one of the most idiotic things said by someone in a position of …

Hypothetical Games
A friend and me once read a book by Yann Martell called Beatrice and Virgil. We both looked forward to it since Yann stated that his influences were Art Spiegel’s Maus which is one of my favourite graphic novels ever and one I encourage people to read. But we didn’t like it, mainly because of the heavy holocaust …

A Taste of Things to Come – The Rise of the Back-Street Abortionist
“The assault on Planned Parenthood is unjustified. It is penny-wise and pound foolish. The law strictly and clearly prohibits the use of federal funds for abortion services. The Republicans’ elimination of funding for Planned Parenthood, will in the end cost more than it saves by ending the ability of millions of American women to receive …
