I'm going to point you to two posts on a prolific blog that could suck up all the time in my day if I weren't careful: The Women's Bioethics Project.
The first discusses a ruling Kansas that is requiring a healthcare provider to turn over the medical records of all patients who not only received but inquired about late-term abortions.
The Women's Bioethics Project lays out the details pretty succinctly, so I recommend reading their post.
I'll just say that the details provided make it clear this isn't really about medicine, or even about law enforcement (which the folks who want those records are purporting the issue to be) but about politics plain and simple. Or perhaps more about the continued assault on a government that respects all religions and is ruled by none.
The second is about the Daily Mail's report that british scientists have discovered how to turn women's one marrow into sperm. Yes, you read that right. So, now, apparently, we really can self-reproduce.
I don't know why I'm pointing this out, except I find some of the comments on the Daily Mail story pretty funny in their paranoia, especially the ones about malevolent feminism. Hilarious.
'cause it's women who have cause all the world's problems, yeah.
So, there you go...some good weekend reading.
