If you’ve got a giant hard-on for Jesus and the military, you need to check out “Repent Amarillo”, a fundy Christian site that tries to look like an Army recruitment video, specifically because this image is attractive to them. As far as they are concerned, there’s a spiritual war going on, and they intend to [...]

A few days ago, Carisa and I recorded a podcast about a rather disturbing law being proposed in Utah that would make “recklessness” during pregnancy a criminal offense, with a possibility of life imprisonment for feticide. Imagine my surprise to find these kinds of laws acually exist in 35 different states in the US. Recently, a [...]

We’ve done a lot of podcasts on the subject of abortion in the last few months; with Tim Tebow’s Super bowl ad to the murder of Dr. George Tiller, the controversy surrounding abortion never goes away. Last show we did, a fan emailed me saying his girlfriend had been upset from listening to the casualness [...]

It never ceases to amaze me the kind of tactics anti-abortionist groups will use to try to pressure people into not having abortions. Apart from picketing at clinics, airing ads during the Super Bowl, and even actively encouraging psycho vigilantes to take the law into their own hands, they’ll also put this up: a billboard that tries to [...]

A couple of days ago we reported on the fact that CBS is planning on airing a pro-life commercial starring Tim Tebow and his mother Pam. If you believe the official story of how, due to complications during her pregnancy, she was advised by doctors in the Philippines (where she was busy proselytizing) that she [...]

It looks like anti-abortion activists are getting a little crazier every day. The recent conviction of Scott Roeder, who gunned down Dr. George Tiller just about a year ago, has apparently rallied religious nutjobs who think that killing doctors who perform abortions is a heroic act. They are upset that he was found guilty, which [...]

With all the talk of abortions in the wake of the news that CBS apparently can’t keep their fucking nose out of it, the Onion comes out with this. Man I wish I was as funny as them! (via Unreasonable Faith and Cynical C Blog) comedy abortion

Welcome back to another episode of The Good Atheist podcast. As some of you may have noticed, the podcast is a little late. It turns out that I was so sick from drinking on Tuesday that I need 2 full days to rest. I guess I’m not as young as I used to be. To [...]
