“A novel worth reading is an education of the heart. It enlarges your sense of human possibility, of what human nature is, of what happens in the world. It’s a creator of inwardness.”

“The reality is that so-called pro-life movement is not about saving babies. It’s about punishing women for having sex. That’s why they oppose birth control. That’s why they want to ban abortion even though doing so will simply drive women to have dangerous back alley abortions. That’s why they want to penalize women who take public assistance and then dare to have sex, leaving an exemption for those who become pregnant from rape. It’s not about babies. If it were about babies, they would be making access to birth control widespread and free and creating a comprehensive social safety net so that no woman finds herself with a pregnancy she can’t afford. They would be raising money for research on why half of all zygotes fail to implant and working to prevent miscarriages. It’s not about babies. It’s about controlling women. It’s about making sure they have consequences for having unapproved sex.”

- How I Lost Faith in the “Pro-Life” Movement

This is an amazingly powerful, clear and well-researched article that exposes how the “pro-life” movement is anything but.

But if I am successful in life and not homeless in 2 weeks, you'll think you did something right...

“I understand that I have invited you to be dependent on me for a place to live and food to eat and I will even loan you money while you go through accelerated nursing school, however, the fact that you did not go to church last Sunday gives me grounds to tell you to move out in two weeks.

Not sure what you are going to do about school or a place to live. I don’t care that I’ve told you to move out during the week of your finals or that I gave you no real indication or preparation for the fact that you moving out would happen before you graduated. In fact, you should have been prepared for this all along. I’m not a bad parent for not discussing this with you in any way prior to my decision (the decision that I made in a moment of nonsensical anger, mind you, and am now sticking to because I’m a grown-up, and grown-ups cannot apologize to children. In this scenario, you are the child).

Obviously you should have known better and been a better Christian. Sorry, dear. I love you, but I cannot support your “I can skip church to do homework” lifestyle anymore. So I have to make your life impossible and compare you to scripture stories while I cry about what an awful person I have raised.

Good luck! If you end up homeless, it’s because God is teaching you a lesson.”

There’s this thing Conservative Christians do where they say something to the effect of “I love the gays, I just don’t agree with their lifestyle and I think Marriage should be between a man and a woman.”

But here’s the thing: I don’t want your love, I want the same rights you have.

This will probably make you cry. I love the world she’s created in this animation, the impossible physics of it.

Thank goodness for the internet

5 minutes on Tumblr and I see that my lovely conservative family has conveniently left out a few important bits of information in their version of the Chick-fil-A story.
