Widdershins, I’m extremely angry today. Our Congresscritters, trying to do I’m not sure what (it sure isn’t anything to do with universal health care), have decided that even though abortion and birth control are LEGAL FUCKING PROCEDURES, they are too ooky and oogy to be covered by whatever piece of crap health “insurance” reform they [...]
