Wow, those are some pretty lifelike mannequins.

Is it just me, or does the one on the left have one hell of a chin.

This is what happens when you defund Planned Parenthood: women lose health coverage for everything from hypertension to contraception to cancer screening, half of your clinics close (even though most of them were not Planned Parenthood clinics, and none of those was providing abortions anyway), costs rise, and you get 23,000 more unplanned pregnancies per year... some of which will result in abortions. So by trying to cut back on abortions they may have increased the number of abortions.

It's just insane to think that you can have positive outcomes by limiting or removing access to health care. That's like saying, "We can save lives by shutting down ambulance companies. Oh shit, now a bunch of people are dying! Well, at least we stuck to the courage of our convictions."

but over 90% of what planned parenthood does is abortions!!!* so defunding it must be reducing the number of abortions!

this is what happens when you get legislators who vote on what they think is the case, rather than checking on actual reality (like, what all planned parenthood actually does).

on the bright side, texas will have no trouble taking care of its aging population in 20 years, on account of all those babies they didn't kill.

whether or not they get a good enough education to be trusted to take care of people is another issue. i'm sure texas will solve any problems with cuts to the educational system.

Yes, but that's different than why they seem to be upset over this.

It's CNN. If the Motion Picture Academy handed out Oscars for yellow journalism, CNN would sweep the awards ceremony every year.

edit: O-kay, "yellowish." I don't think they actually make their stories up out of whole cloth, but they sure do look for the weirdest possible slants to report.

Even the Onion has better taste than that. I mean, holy shit.

Of course, not wanting to be outdone in being horrible bags of human waste by CNN, Fox News decides to "accidentally" leak the name of the rape victim.
