The Nizkor Project

Just a brief post today to share a wonderful site documenting the various types of "fallacies" that you may hear when the troglodytes try to argue with you.

The site is The Nizkor Project, and it contain the work of Dr. Michael C. Labossiere, the author of a tutorial named Fallacy Tutorial Pro 3.0.

Very informational, and also entertaining... check it out at The Nizkor Project.

Abortion Foes in Oklahoma Go Way Too Far

A new Oklahoma law that forces women who have had abortions to post details of the procedure online is being sharply criticized by women's rights groups, and is now being challenged in court by two Oklahoma women.

As of November 1, doctors in Oklahoma will be compelled -- under penalty of criminal prosecution -- to post the details of each abortion they perform online. Among the details to be posted for every abortion is the patient's age, marital status and race; her financial condition; her education; and the total number of her previous pregnancies.

This is most definitely a violation of the HIPAA regulations (as the story quoted above notes). But it is also violently offensive to women. Hey, let's post the age, marital status, race, financial condition, and dick size of every man who takes Viagra or Cialis. Oh, wait, that'll never happen because men aren't discriminated against like women are...

Sell The Vatican, Feed The World (HD, Official)

Alan Grayson: "If the President has a BLT tomorrow, the Republicans will try to ban bacon."

Happy Blasphemy Day!

Apologies for not posting more regularly here lately but life has sort of taken over.

However, I just had to post a link to Gilgamesh's blog post on Blasphemy Day.

Now this is a "day" I can support.

(I deny the holy spirit.)

Teenage Pregnancies Higher Among The Religious

A report this week in the journal Reproductive Health describes what researchers call “a strong association” between the teenage birth rate of a particular state and its “level of religiosity.”

I find that interesting. I thought religion discouraged pre-marital sex? Goes to show how much people actually practice what they preach, I guess.

Although several suggestions are examined in this article, I particularly liked the assessment at the end “that religious communities in the US are more successful in discouraging the use of contraception among their teenagers than they are in discouraging sexual intercourse itself”.

Sad, really.
