Certain pro-lifers should just stop promoting abortion.

With Facts on our Side by Katha Pollett in The Nation.

Contraceptive myths are explored.

FOX News' "Facing Reality" special.  Fair and balanced?  Or, typical FOX propaganda?

Denver high school may provide pill to students.  Cool.

Feministing decrys the absence of pro-choice organizations and testimony in a recent House Foreign Affairs Committee hearing on the effects of the Global Gag Rule.

Right Wing Closet Cases--Pourquoi from Jane Hamsher of Firedoglake.  The Republican closet is really a creepy and dangerous place.

It is very hard to get a hyena to act like a lamb.  I don't know why anyone would expect anymore of a fox.

I have only a few criticisms to make of this documentary.

First, the 1 to 1 ratio of patients freely choosing to give up a child for adoption to the one choosing abortion care, is off by a factor of about a thousand or more.

FAIR AND BALANCED!!!  What a concept!  And on Fox News no less.

When I agreed to participate with producer Rachel Feldman (who is responsible for this story and the accolades it is receiving from all critics who have so far reviewed the film) most of the people who think they know me best thought that I had finally lost my last marble.  The one that had been attached with chewing gum and a little rusting bailing wire.  "Don't do it!" they told me.  "It will be a disaster."

About a year or so ago, a nice lady from Fox News contacted me about doing a story about women seeking abortion care at my obgyn office in Fayetteville Arkansas.  Rachel Feldman, the producer who came with a team to do the interviews promised me it was going to be a look at women who seek abortion care, and promised that it would not be a hatchet job against me or my patients.  Given Fox's reputation and the people like Bill O'Reilly and Hanity and the other "commentators" Fox employees, I don't know why I believed her... but I did.  And now it is to air twice Saturday night at 9:00 and 12 eastern time and once Sunday afternoon at 3:00.
