Well, not mine, since I’m a cishet male. Anyway, there’s an excellent piece by Leah Hampton that gets at the hypocrisy of anti-legal and safe abortion conservatives (boldface mine): The crux of my newfound doubt about Roe is the “everyone” … Continue reading →

Let’s Not Fall Into the Same Abortion Trap

Posted on July 21, 2022 by mikethemadbiologist

Sensible Democrats Are So Close

Posted on July 14, 2022 by mikethemadbiologist

But still not getting it. In response to the anger by ‘activists’ rank-and-file Democrats over the Biden administration’s mealymouth and slow response* to the overturning of Roe v. Wade, former Obama White House official Jennifer Palmieri has thoughts (boldface mine): … Continue reading →
