It's mind-bogglingly inhuman and heartless, but this, folks, is how the Republican Party views women who are victims of rape: Idaho Rejects Rape Exception In Abortion Bill Because ‘The Hand Of The Almighty’ Was At Work. Marching in step with the GOP’s nationwide war on a woman’s right to choose, ...

If you want to see how deranged the commenting sections of right wing blogs have gotten, just go read any of their posts about the violence in Afghanistan. Gateway Pundit, Hot Air, Pamela "Shrieking Harpy" Geller, Fox Nation -- all of them are packed with comments calling for genocide against ...

For the first time in many years a terrorist bomb has exploded in central Jerusalem, murdering one person and injuring at least 30.

The Republican governor of South Dakota, Dennis Daugaard, has signed a law that forces women considering an abortion to wait three days after meeting with a doctor -- and also requires them to undergo "counseling" at anti-abortion "pregnancy help centers" run by religious fanatics. And it's coupled with an attack on ...

Donald Trump says he may run for President as a Republican, so naturally he's pandering to the Birther majority of the right wing base. “Let me tell you, I’m a really smart guy. I was a really good student at the best school in the country. The reason I have ...

The Catholic Archdiocese of Philadelphia has suspended 21 priests, after a grand jury report revealed yet another cover-up of predatory priests.

Sometimes I can hardly believe how crazy the social conservative movement has gotten, and this is one of those times. As we reported last month, Republicans in Ohio launched their latest attack on women's reproductive rights by introducing the "Heartbeat Bill," which states that human life legally begins as soon as ...

Here we have yet another unbelievably ugly right wing attack on women's rights, in Georgia this time, where Republican Rep. Bobby Franklin has sponsored a bill that requires police to investigate all miscarriages to make sure they weren't actually secret abortions. One in three pregnancies end in miscarriage. As a ...

Wisconsin's Republican Governor Scott Walker is not only trying to destroy public employees' unions. For years, he's also been working hard to force women back into the Dark Ages: Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker's Abortion Crusade. Walker's nearly nine-year record in the Wisconsin Assembly, the legislature's lower house, reads like a ...

It was bad enough when they tried to redefine rape, and worse when they tried to let pregnant women die rather than have abortions, but now the Republican Party in South Dakota is actually trying to pass a law that would legalize killing abortion providers. A law under consideration in ...

When the GOP made big gains in the 2010 midterm election, I predicted that we were going to see a full-out onslaught against women's rights -- and today we learned of the latest front in this misogynist war, as the religious right tries to redefine the word "preventive" in order ...

This is why I've never liked Facebook: Facebook thinks twice on giving dev access to phone, address data. Facebook has put off its plan to allow developers access to users' phone numbers and home addresses. The company posted an update on its Developer Blog Tuesday morning, saying that it got ...

DerpImagine my surprise. Instead of retracting his monumentally dumb post claiming that the White House flashed "applause" signs at the Tucson memorial, Jim "Dim" Hoft goes on the attack -- and it's just as lame and dishonest as the stupid post he refuses to correct. Hoft's weird fantasy: Figures. Charles Johnson’s ...

A who's who of right wing politicians, religious right spokesholes, and anti-gay loons have signed a statement opposing the Southern Poverty Law Center's classification of many far right religious organizations as hate groups. LGF reader Gus 802 pasted together this picture of the statement, which they placed as an advertisement ...

On Wednesday, Pamela "Shrieking Harpy" Geller took her Traveling Bigotry Roadshow to an NYU class on "Cultural Wars."
