The stipulations and inconveniences of SB 77 makes abortion a less favored option. That is the point, after all.

If someone cannot be persuaded through …
We interrupt our previously scheduled politi-local rant to bring you the incredibly original sounds of Kitundu. And if you don’t find the music fascinating, you have to admire the imaginative craftsmanship. (via GizModo)
Our revitalized Georgia Legislature is bursting at the seams with minions of Pax Republicana, and they’re ripe and ready to move their mandate-juiced agenda from the Gold Dome to somewhere far more local: your pants.
