[Today’s post is by Heather, who is participating the Job Corp program. Heather’s own story of unplanned pregnancy can be heard here.] I was riding in a cab with another student from Walmart back to the Job Corp Center where we stay. On the way back, we were talking the abortion that she had at […]
Last week’s presentation to the Virginia Atheists and Agnostics is below. I realize that the video is long (and it would have been even longer if the camera hadn’t run out of battery). If you want the short version, Jameson Graber, a UVA student in the audience, has some thoughts about the presentation on his […]

Kelsey here. Earlier today, I proposed a friendly wager to a facebook friend who supports Planned Parenthood and abortion: Planned Parenthood says it has raised over $3 million for its emergency breast health fund, to replace the ~$600,000 it got from Susan G.
