Most Americans lack access to affordable health care and believe abortion should be legal, but that hasn't stopped some uber-chic fashionistas from daring to break the rules! We've hand-picked five key ways you can wear the most essential anti-choice trends from the runways — er, courtrooms and Senate floors. Let's… Read… 4/17/13 2:40pm 4/17/13 2:40pm

Michigan's lawmaking prodigies have proposed an amendment to the state's income tax code that would allow pregnant women to claim their 12-week or older fetuses as dependents. Which is sort of a cool idea, until you consider the fact 1- this is just another not-super-under-the-radar attempt to redefine what a person is … Read… 11/21/12 12:30pm 11/21/12 12:30pm

Soup Not-si Paul Ryan may believe that human life begins at conception, but that view isn't quite as popular with the rest of sane America. Or the court system, apparently. After failing to pass Personhood in Mississippi last fall, not a one "Zygotes Are People, Too!" measure will be appearing on any state ballots this… Read… 10/16/12 5:00pm 10/16/12 5:00pm

Reasonable residents of Colorado can all breathe a sigh of relief now that the personhood movement has failed for a third time to garner enough support for a ballot measure that would suggest giving fertilized eggs the same rights as people. Read… 8/29/12 11:55pm 8/29/12 11:55pm

The GOP has just agreed that for the next four years, all of the human grown-ups who identify with the party will promote a constitutional amendment that defines life as something that starts at the moment of conception — this means that from the very second an ovum becomes a zygote, that reproductive cell is a full… Read… 8/23/12 12:40pm 8/23/12 12:40pm

To most women, Paul Ryan's ideas are pretty much the political equivalent of menstruating forever. But it seems like some new analysis of legislation he wrote really takes the cake: if Paul Ryan had his way, theoretically, a rapist would be able to sue his victim in order to prevent her from having an abortion. Hey… Read… 8/15/12 1:00pm 8/15/12 1:00pm

It's really too bad that the word FAIL emblazoned across a picture of something failing miserably has become a cliche, because America's floundering but tenacious Personhood movement is perfectly suited to be meme-ified. In 2008 and 2010, voters in Colorado rejected a Personhood amendment that would have defined human… Read… 7/30/12 7:00pm 7/30/12 7:00pm

Abortion providers, pro-choice activists, and pretty much anyone associated with them have been relentlessly targeted by anti-choice protesters. They've been subject to everything from garden variety stalking, to violence, and, in some cases, murder. Yet, it's far more rare that the tables are turned and anti-choice… Read… 7/03/12 12:35pm 7/03/12 12:35pm

Kentucky Senator Rand Paul has crowned himself this week's King of WTF by attempting to pull a fast one on the American people— he inserted a "Personhood" clause into a totally unrelated bill about flood insurance that would have declared that life begins at conception and that your uterus is officially his Libertarian… Read… 6/26/12 5:00pm 6/26/12 5:00pm

If you ask any of the bazillion "pro-life" dudes who bravely stand for zygotes by standing against emergency contraception, they'll tell you that the morning after pill — or Plan B if you want to get brand-namey — is an abortifacient because it prevents fertilized eggs from implanting in a woman's uterus. The FDA will… Read… 6/05/12 6:10pm 6/05/12 6:10pm

Zygotes are more important than women, but money is more important than zygotes. At least if you're Mitt Romney. The staunchly unstable politician, who holds the mistaken (but convenient) belief that the morning after pill causes abortions, will be holding a big, fancy fundraiser at the Florida home of the chairman of… Read… 5/09/12 12:00pm 5/09/12 12:00pm

It's less terrible day than usual to be a uterus (or, if you want to get technical, "woman," or "baby holder") in the West South Central United States today. Earlier, a federal judge ruled that Texas' law to exclude Planned Parenthood from its Women's Health Program was unconstitutional. And now, like a frustrated dad… Read… 4/30/12 5:40pm 4/30/12 5:40pm

Just as zombies crave the delicious chewy flesh of the human brain, so too do pro-abortion rights people crave nothing more than to abort the shit out of every pregnancy. We're like hormonal teenagers. We'll abort anything that walks. All day we dream about abortion. At least, according to Mississippi Governor and… Read… 4/25/12 3:40pm 4/25/12 3:40pm

Earlier this week, the Tennessee state Senate offered its near-unanimous approval to a measure that would make it a crime to harm a fetus at any point in a woman's pregnancy, including before 6 weeks' pregnancy when a fetus is actually technically called an "embryo." Proponents of the bill claim that it has nothing to do … Read… 4/25/12 10:40am 4/25/12 10:40am

Hundreds of women protested Oklahoma's extreme Personhood bill at the State Capitol yesterday, but the most memorable moment at the rally was held by an elected official. Read… 2/29/12 2:30pm 2/29/12 2:30pm

Remember how Virginia's legislature was threatening to pass a bill that declared fertilized eggs to be "persons" with the same legal rights and responsibilities of normal people who are not microscopic bundles of cells that live inside their mothers? Well, today, the state Senate moved to block a vote on the procedure,… Read… 2/23/12 5:00pm 2/23/12 5:00pm

Great news, fully realized, super advanced fetuses who are reading this: the Oklahoma Senate today overwhelmingly passed a law that defines a "person" as a human life that begins from the moment of conception. Read… 2/17/12 5:15pm 2/17/12 5:15pm

There's no better way for lawmakers to impress constituents nowadays than to pass draconian abortion restrictions, and no states are trying harder to enforce pregnancy than Kansas and Oklahoma. But which terrible, totalitarian abortion law is worse? Let's find out. Read… 2/09/12 6:30pm 2/09/12 6:30pm

Undaunted by the monumental failure of Personhood USA's push to declare fertilized human eggs exactly the same as grown ass adults in Mississippi, conservatives in Oklahoma have pushed forward with their own Personhood Bill. But one Democratic smartass isn't having it, and she finds the whole thing so absurd that she… Read… 2/07/12 4:30pm 2/07/12 4:30pm
