A chart to remember 2011 by. According to the Guttmacher Institute, 2011 proved a banner year for passing abortion restrictions into law in the United States. These restrictions included everything from attacking insurance coverage to requiring women to go through ultrasounds and waiting periods.

New Hampshire anti-choicers finally admit the truth: it's about denying women ownership and enjoyment of their own bodies, NOT about abortion.
“The three Councilors who voted against funding for Planned Parenthood said they did so because some of its clinics provide abortions, even though those abortions are entirely privately funded. Councilor Raymond Wieczorek of Manchester added that he opposed funding for birth control and condoms altogether.
“If they want to have a good time, why not let them pay for it?” he told the Concord Monitor last week.”
I literally want to drive down to Manchester and punch this man in the nuts. But at least he’s being honest: he thinks unwanted children and STDs are a just PUNISHMENT for enjoying your sexuality and not being a chaste angel. Newsflash, Raymond: the STATE will be paying for those unwanted children when women can’t afford their birth control - until you deny them benefits and healthcare and they DIE at an early age from a preventable illness or accident. SO MUCH RAGE I CAN’T EVEN. Live free or die, my ass.

curiouser and curiouser!;: shut up, justin bieber;
Justin Bieber may only be 16, but he speaks out about some surprisingly adult issues — sex, abortion and health care — in his upcoming Rolling Stone cover story, in which the pop star appears with his famous haircut spiked and styled into a more rock-star (or “Twilight”) inspired look.
“I…
Right, we should really be asking a 16 year old pop star about his views and opinions on subjects which he has NO knowledge of. I’m not even mad at Bieber, he’s a kid. I’m just amazed that a Rolling Stones writer would even address these topics in an interview with him.
