We’ve never tried
/0 Comments/in Uncategorized /by Kelsey HazzardI have a short and sweet response to those who claim that the United States cannot achieve equality for women without abortion: We’ve never tried. Here’s the longer version of that answer. When abortion was legalized in 1973, marital rape was legal. It was gradually criminalized on a state-by-state basis, finally becoming illegal in every U.S. […]
A response to Shawna Kay Rodenberg
/0 Comments/in Uncategorized /by Kelsey HazzardShortly before Christmas, Salon published an article that surprised me. I almost didn’t read it, because I’m not a big Salon fan; it’s home to many anti-choicers-hate-women screeds, and I still have some lingering distrust from the publication’s anti-vaccine days (although there appears to have been some improvement on that front in the years since […]

Bad Abortion-Choice Science
/0 Comments/in Uncategorized /by Clinton WilcoxOne of the most frustrating assertions from abortion-choice advocates are that pro-life advocates are “anti-science” or “don’t understand science,” which is why they are pro-life. The problem, apart from the fact that science is decidedly on the side of the pro-life advocate, is that abortion-choice arguments usually incorporate bad science. For a recent example, see […]

I said: One could argue that the proportion of […]

/0 Comments/in Uncategorized /by Kelsey HazzardOhio’s heartbeat bill—which prohibited abortions on any unborn human individual with a detectable heartbeat—was vetoed by Governor Kasich. He exercised the veto not on pro-abortion grounds, but out of concern that the legislation would be tied up in court and never go into effect. You’re all having fun debating the wisdom of that decision on […]
