Media Matters for America, January 14, 2015

The right-wing media misinformation behind the 231 restrictions on abortion passed by state legislatures in the last four years has found its way into Congressional Republicans' latest strategy to roll back abortion rights nationally. Medical experts agree that such anti-choice legislation is often based on medically inaccurate or outright false information and that these regulations harm women. Here are the facts behind the myths underpinning the GOP's war on abortion rights.

2. of course, what this excellent article is not addressing is the simple fact that the pro-forced

birthers' arguments have, at their heart, a profound hatred for women, and a desperate desire to control them, keep them in their place.

5. Of course not. Then so many (most?) would have to admit

their opposition is religiously-based. That open admission would give pro-choicers more avenues to challenge anti laws - theocracy and misogynic discrimination.

Yes, it is referred to as cross posting, some call it xposting.

I sometimes post one article in two or three places if it "crosses" into multiple categories. Like this:
