South Dakota abortion providers must tell women abortion terminates “life”-That political ideology is now being legally imposed in South Dakota is disgraceful. Until this matter is rectified, South Dakota is going on my “Is Dead To Me” list next to Louisiana for its absurd “academic freedom” law. I encourage everyone to hurl perpetual ridicule upon these states, make them the butt of your jokes. Indeed, no method has proven more effective in changing such policies in modern times as ridicule. Of course, many intelligent people who oppose this nonsense reside in these states; I encourage you all to fight these idiotic policies.
What is a skeptic and why we need them? -Out of the typing fingers of babes. One of the next generation of young skeptics comments on what it means to be a skeptic:
Why secular activism is necessary -The Religious Right affects public policy and every day they are fighting for control of the world. They’re fighting to control what we can and how we can think. This is the very antithesis of the free secular republic designed by our Founding Father. And that vision is worth protecting.
-TV’s reality series WifeSwap has a history of bringing atheists into America’s living rooms:
But Jinxi and Steve’s family won’t be the last atheistic family as the program is currently casting Pastafarians.
Ken Ham from Answers in Genesis’s is displeased w/ review of Creationist Museum -Apparently, Ken Ham took umbrage with a few bits in the descriptions of his Creationist Museum in the book, Weird Kentucky. What’s funny is the details he chooses to complain about how he tries to correct the book’s “errors” with information that is equally absurd than the claims suggested in the book.

Center For Advanced Medicine And Clinical Research–fancy name for an anti-vaccine propaganda front -These guys are just pure evil. There’s no way I can be gentle about this. Nothing Michael Savage has said comes anywhere near as repulsive and dangerous as what this quacks says in his blogs. People see the title “Doctor” and use him as an example of doctors “exposing the evil Big Pharma conspiracy because his claims confirm what they already believe.
And some science news:
Stem Cells: New Way To Treat Spinal-cord Injury
-A researcher at MIT’s Picower Institute for Learning and Memory has pinpointed stem cells within the spinal cord that may lead to a new, non-surgical treatment for debilitating spinal-cord injuries.

It turns out journalist Brian Deer made it up:-
“Sunday Times Journalist Made Up Wakefield MMR Data Fixing Allegation”:

And he was helping the US Justice Dept sink 4500 US kids claims for vaccine damage compensation – what kind of normal journalist does that? Ans: none.

Um, those aren’t links to a real news site, just a propaganda page. Nothing you say about Brian Deer to try to destroy his personal credibility can change the evidence and the facts, which are now, thanks to him, public to everyone. But nice try.
Wakefield either deliberately altered data or he’s the most incompetent doctor on the face of the Earth. Wakefield’s going down and nothing you say can change it. So either accept reality of forever live in delusion.
