Next entry: Where Bad Meets Stupid Previous entry: We’re all entitled

A new reproductive rights video?  Hell yeah!


RH Reality Check: Framing Reproductive Rights from RH Reality Check on Vimeo.

This is a fun one, where I debunk some of the favorite terms used by right wing nuts to discredit supporters of reproductive rights, doctors who provide abortion, and general human beings with common sense.  I have particular hatred for “post-abortion syndrome”, which is something anti-choicers made up to justify their paternalistic view that women who get abortions are just too stupid to know what they’re doing.

Marc is back to play Clint Donovan, but we’re bringing back Diana Gerson as Faye Winters and Faizan Subhani as Max Holder in future editions. Picking your wingnut name is actually more fun than picking your porn star name, and I’m vaguely sad that I don’t get to play along.  I think I’d like Bridget LePay.

We should try to see if rh could buy an infomercial spot (30 minutes on one of those infomercial channels).  They can’t be very expensive, and I think pople will tune in to this just like they do with the TOBiĀ® or one of those abdominizer thingies.

Couldn’t it just be boiled down to “anti-woman?”

Nothing pisses me off more than the “post abortion trauma” crap.  Obviously, some women will regret their decision and it will affect them; however, I’ve had two abortions (due to catastrophic failures in the pill, which led me to having myself permanently fixed after the birth of my one and only child) and frankly…I get more worked up over a root canal.  I mourn the loss of my teeth.  Don’t mourn the loss of potential children at all.

Conservative name?

Is Thunk Dobson an option?
