When you get pregnant if you have an ultrasound, and you want to know what you are having, everyone looks for the ‘turtle.’ But according to Teen Vogue none of that matters. The ‘turtle’ might as well be an appendix. A vestigial organ with no purpose.

Update: House Kills Abortion Statistics Bill
The baby steps were too much to contemplate, apparently. The New Hampshire House has killed abortion statistics once again. Ten Republicans joined 208 Democrats in voting “inexpedient to legislate” on HB 158.
Take a Baby Step: Pass Abortion Statistics
The New Hampshire House will vote on March 7 on HB 158, an abortion statistics bill. Here’s where we’ll find out just how much the news out of New York and Vermont has influenced New Hampshire legislators. Are they distressed to be in one of the few states that leaves abortion unregulated throughout pregnancy? Then here’s a baby step: let our public health authorities at least find out how many abortions take place in New Hampshire.
Blogline of the Day – EVERY life matters
On a post about Planned Parenthood New England’s 1 “100% Support for Womens Health” Honor Roll’ Actual Women’s healthcare is when everyone leaves the office alive ….. Funny how PPNE would never put it that way. (H/T: as seen on Facebook)
Women’s “Health Care” Organization Endorses Democrat Man Accused of Hitting a Woman
The Left’s hypocrisies are epic no less so with regard to “women’s health.” Forget for the moment the physical and mental problems that result from abortion and consider something much more simple. Planned Parenthood rides its private for-profit business model on the coat tails of the Democrat Party Narrative known as “women’s health.” It then … Read more

Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand Brings the Women’s Health Care Stupid
Senator Kirsten Gillibrand, like Jeanne Shaheen and her “loveable” sidekick Maggie Hassan, is part and parcel to that systemic Democrat Party deception known as “keeping the government out of your bedroom.” It started out as an excuse to let women kill unborn babies but evolved – as progressive things are wont to do – when abortion became a women’s health care issue – assuming you were not the “woman” being aborted.
In its current form, Democrats believe that the only way to keep the government out of your bedroom is for the government to control all of the health care including “Women’s Health Care.”
Democrats (if you recall) passed Obamacare all on their own because the only way to bring justice to the health care system was for the government to control it. Enter Government loving Obamacare defender, Kirsten Gillibrand.
Where “Grassroots” Can Earn You $100.00/Hour
There’s an ad on Craigslist for professional political workers. (the entire ad is on the jump).
Grassroots solutions, which claims to be a national field organization that is all about helping coordinate grassroots political efforts, is hiring people to help Planned Parenthood of Northern New England do door to door canvassing in the Concord and Manchester Area to promote pro-abortion candidates (women’s health)…that would be Democrats. You get $100/hour plus gas allowance.
I have a lot of questions. Like how can it be grassroots if you pay $100.00 per hour? Or, how is it that Planned Parenthood of Northern New England can afford to run this canvassing campaign but can’t run their business model without my tax dollars?
This Slut Votes
The War on Women continues apace, and right here in the Granite State. According to ‘The New Hampshire,’ a UNH campus publication, on April 28th, 30 people “gathered outside of Thompson Hall to participate in a national rally for women’s reproductive rights in support of access to birth control, Plan B One-Step, Planned Parenthood, and abortions.”
4.4 Million Reasons to Tell PPNNE to Kiss Off.
The next time some uninformed “women’s health rights” drone takes you to task over your defense of the idea that New Hampshire should not be funding abortion providers with taxpayer dollars (or that the people do not have the right to elect officials who will pass such laws for them), provide the following instruction on Planned Parenthood of Northern New England’s Spending Priorities
“..PPNNE’s 2010 annual report indicates $3.1 million spent on administration; $822,000 on public policy, including the aforementioned lobbyist; $445,000 on marketing. And they warn of having to turn women away if HB 228 passes?
Thanks to Ellen Kolb (here) for this quote from her blog (which you should check out by the way). Ellen is referring, among other things, to a vote on HB 228 in the NH State Senate today, “AN ACT prohibiting the use of public funds for abortion services.” The Senate should pass this bill, not just because I don’t want taxpayer dollars supporting them but because PPNNE obviously has plenty of money to waste on things other than the actual care, whatever that care may happen to be.

Rebuttal to Alison Therriault – No, there is no extreme jeopardy to women’s right to control their lives in NH
I submitted this in rebuttal to a Letter to the Editor in the Laconia Daily Sun (P. 7, March 23, 2012) (slightly expanded here):
It used to be that becoming an adult meant becoming independent and being self-responsible for their own well-being. Economic dependency on family was left behind along with the toys of childhood. It meant sober realization that what one wants, one earns. “Deserves” becomes relegated to childhood status;”earned”, its mature replacement.
Ms. Therriault shows her wish for maturity in stating “I control my body”. True enough; that’s what adults do – exhibit self-control. You have the ability to decide, within the statistical limits of reliable birth control and human discipline, how many children to have, when to have them, and when to start that family (it seems, too, that marriage is becoming more and more optional in today’s society. No wonder single moms are becoming the biggest proponents of “Government that gives you more with other peoples’ money” but that is grist for another letter).
Beggars CAN be Choosers
Welcome to Veruca Salt Nation where beggars can be choosers. Where a 30 year old “law school student” aka-professional activist gets trolled before the fawning media by DC’s Democrat party leadership, (right on time!) to pretend she is a victim. Her name is Sandra Fluke, the new face of the Democrat Parties Veruca Salt Nation.
“I want my taxpayer funded contraception now, daddy.”
And why not? We are the 99. Children up to age 26 are encouraged to seek a free ride, extended to age 30 (apparently) in Ms. Fluke’s case. Just another step on the ladder to full dependency. And while you are asking for things why not a constitutional right to Monistat–along with hot tubs, tropical getaways, and rooms for two–because if you are going to waste taxpayer funded contraception dollars the way the government wastes everything else, you should do it someplace nice–but the occasional yeast infection might be more than just a fluke.
A Cure For The Common Cold?
My wife had the flu the other day. It really knocked her out. She had the whole boat, sinus congestion, coughing, head aches, exhaustion, she was even having a hard time sleeping. So I got her some condoms. That didn’t work. I have to admit I was a bit surprised. According to the TV contraception … Read more
Senator Jeanne Shaheen – not only approves of Big Government superceding religious conscience but ok in directing private charity
“We earnestly hope that you will put women’s health before partisan politics and reconsider this decision for the sake of the women who depend on both your organizations for access to the health care they need.”
One of the saddest (or is that sadistic?) things I have watched this week has been the pilloring of the Susan G. Komen for the Cure – private charity that specializes in fighting breast cancer. Simply by stating that they were going to withdraw their $600,000 or so donation that they have given to the abortion mill Planned Parenthood, all heck has broken loose on the Left – how DARE a private charity stop funding one of Holy Chalices of Secular Progressivism? As this snippet from Hot Air points out, it isn’t about the good they have done over the years (about $2 billion in charitable giving) but who it was that was no longer going to get their donation:
What Would Democrats Do If Abortion Was Bad For Womens Health?
New Hampshire used to have a significant number of female state Senators, including 11 Democrat women, all on the take from the abortion PAC’s abortion PAC, Emily’s list. Most of the rest of New Hampshire’s Democrat women suffer from a similar ailment, including Jeanne Shaheen, Carol Shea Porter, Anne McKluster and so on. So they all defend abortion from conception to birth because, they are told to say, it essential to a woman’s health. It is sometimes a woman’s reproductive health, but they have since changed it to just "women’s health". They also added ‘Freedom’ to "Reproductive," giving us the phrase reproductive freedom, which has nothing to do with reproducing and everything to do with not producing anything, something the observant among us will note is identical to their jobs programs and most, if not all, of the Democrats economic policies.
If you are a Democrat, destroying production is where it’s at.
This might explain these same un-aborted lumps of womb tissue toeing the Democrat party line on the environment. (And of course environmental rights means they take something away from people.) Each of these Democrat women, and damn near the entire Democrat party
support things like RGGI, cap and trade, and have no problem telling people who assume they live in a relatively free society what energy to use, what light bulbs to buy, what car to drive, how far to drive it, what fuel is best, that their breath is poison, and so on. And they will insist that they are doing this for our own good, based on the slim chance that human activity might warm the earth a fraction, and on the even flimsier assumption that this small increase might not in fact be beneficial.
Recent revelations demonstrating wide spread fraud among un-aborted members of the pro-anthropogenic climate science community have not deterred the lefts "experts" and line-toers alike, from continuing to insist we waste billions of other peoples dollars to prevent something that is not happening. This may well have something to do with being on the receiving end of the "billions we are wasting" yet not a one of them thinks that a conflict of interest. (See also "public sector unions support democrats" for a similar unresolved conflict.)
Proof that the IPCC report on which the bulk of this fraud is substantiated is nothing more than a collection of biased assumptions and wild guesses, collated by un-aborted, Eurotrash-socialist politicians, to advance a specific, destructive, high-tax-grow-government agenda, have not deterred them from emulating this policy path.
And despite the mounting (actual) scientific evidence, that warming is natural and driven by factors other than un-aborted human activity, these same left-wing Democrats insist we should continue to take millions of dollars from hard working taxpayers every year so that they, their taxpayer-funded experts, and hordes of un-aborted-unaccountable bureaucrats, can finance policy to examine and correct the non-problem indefinitely.
Why? Because they claim to be convinced that there is some slim risk, despite many unknowns and contradictory research, that this might cause harm to someone, somewhere, someday.
But would they feel just as much of a commitment to save lives, specifically women’s lives, if we had more proof that abortions are detrimental to a woman’s health, and quite a bit more so than global warming? This abortion thing is all about women’s health after all and we are talking about women protecting women’s health, and if that is true then health should come before abortion, yes?
Democrats, Frat Boys, And Pimps, Oh My!
So the democrats were prepared to shut it all down to defend one big, international rent seeker. To pigeonhole women’s health issues to sex parts and intercourse. And to defend a major campaign contributor (the abortion industry) at all costs? Using women’s vagina’s for cash? Doesn’t that make them a bunch of pimps?
