As long as we're quoting holy words

Consider these wise precepts from Fallopians.

My scriptures are just as valid as yours.

New abortion law

New law requires women to name baby, paint nursery before getting an abortion!

Thank goodness only The Onion seems to have picked up the story.

Hat tip to Daniel Florien at Unreasonable Faith.

"Christian Persecution"

That's by Christians, not of Christians. They can dish it out but they can't take it.

Check out the cartoon at Atheist Eve.

Roy Zimmerman sings "Abstain with Me"

Roy Zimmerman sings about abstinence-only sex education in "Abstain with Me."

U.S. Supreme Court respects "life within the woman"

The new, conservative U.S. Supreme Court has voted, on the convictions of five old Catholic men, to enshrine protection for "the life within the woman." The life of the woman can go hang. The link shows a cartoon by Ann Telnaes.

And read her bio. It says that the cartoons are born in Sweden.


(Thanks to Feministing for mentioning this!)

Quoting Henrik Ibsen

"Never wear your best trousers when you go out to fight for freedom and truth."
--Henrik Ibsen

If men could get pregnant...

"If men could get pregnant, abortion would be a sacrament."
—Florynce R. Kennedy, 1973

Joe Pett's cartoons

From the Reproductive Freedom News, January, 2000:

About ten years ago, whenever editorial cartoonist Joel Pett created a pro-choice cartoon he would insert a coat hanger into the picture - as a stiff reminder of the dangers that lurk when abortion is illegal. One day he got a fax from the pastor of a local church threatening to boycott his newspaper, the Lexington Herald-Leader, if he continued to do it. Pett was not intimidated.

The next day, as he was lampooning a different subject, he subtly included a coat hanger. The following day he drew a man replacing his broken TV antenna with a hanger. A boycott ignited. Undeterred, Pett next drew President Bush breaking into a locked car using a coat hanger. At that point his editor told him "no more coat hangers." So instead, Pett drew a cartoon with a clothes closet, only the clothes were hanging mid-air - there were no visible coat hangers. He adds, "they wouldn't run it."

H. L. Mencken on birth control for Catholics

H. L. Mencken:

"It is now quite lawful for a Catholic woman to avoid pregnancy by a resort to mathematics, though she is still forbidden to resort to physics and chemistry."
