Pro Choice
Relaxed vs. Natural Hair vs. Weaves vs. Dreads
Here are highlights from OnSugar blog Krissy's One Stop Beauty Spot.
Women, especially black women, have the ability to change hairstyles like underwear. I support you ladies no matter what you do — just do it right and take care of your hair. For the most part we all practice the same principles when it comes to proper hair care (co-washing, ACV rinse, trims, deep conditioning, etc.). I'm always willing to help people with hair questions and concerns, or at least point them in the right direction. I know plenty of people in that area.
Where I stand on a lot of hair issues:
- I'm anti kiddie perms and kiddie dreadlocks on children if they're at an age where they can't make that choice for themselves (unless, of course, it's part of your religion).
Kate Moss is Branded as "Irresponsible" for Skinny Comments
When Kate Moss gave an interview to WWD about her new fragrance, I was pretty shocked to hear her reveal one of her mottoes – "nothing tastes as good as skinny feels". It seems to have been a bit of a slow burner in the news, but today it has landed the model in trouble as eating disorder charity Beat described the comments as "dangerous" and "very unhelpful".
Storm models released a statement saying that Kate's comments had "been taken out of context and completely misrepresented."
Abortion Coverage: Missing What Many Never Knew They Had
One of the most convincing arguments for passing the public health plan without abortion coverage is that very few women use insurance to cover abortions to begin with. But if you've heard the statistic that only 13 percent of abortions are billed to insurers, that's not exactly the whole truth.
The Guttmacher Institute, the pro-choice organization responsible for the study the stats were pulled from, contests the 13 percent statistic has been taken out of context and widely used through the media — like, say, in the Wall Street Journal article we linked to yesterday.
Dear Poll: Are You Pro-Choice or Pro-Life?
On Wednesday, I asked you what you would do if you found out you were pregnant right now, and the results weren't all that shocking. Just behind "keeping the baby even if you weren't trying" (39 percent) was "having an abortion," with 31 percent of the poll votes.
Based on your comments, some of you seemed to be pro-choice, some of you pro-life, and some of you seemed to be indifferent.
Healthcare Bill Restricts Coverage For Abortions
If you thought Democrats were pro-choice, you might want to think again. The recently passed healthcare bill coming out of the Democrat-controlled House of Representatives could significantly decrease access to abortion even for Americans on private insurance plans.
After a 290-194 vote, the House passed an amendment Saturday that bans the use of federal funds to cover abortion for anyone using the public healthcare plan.
On the Newsstand: Evangelical Minister is Pro-Choice
Americans have been having the same abortion debate for decades. But, the latest issue of Newsweek profiled an Evangelical minister with an unlikely position. Minister Adam Hamilton thinks abortion should be legal and available, and that it might actually be necessary in rare situations.
Ali G: Pissin' Everybody Off At A Pro-Choice Rally
Sacha Baron Cohen's Ali G character is such a wanker, but what a funny wanker he is! In this clip, he reassures a pro-choice lesbian activist couple, "I love lesbians--I have loads of your videos," tells marchers "I's totally into abortion--I've been responsible for at least five," and yells "Free Nelson Mandela" in the middle of a rally. But it's his addition of beat box noises to an earnest rendition of "We Shall Overcome" that will slay you.
Guess What Breed Super Quiz: Terrier Puppy Edition!
It's that time again — Puppy time! To narrow down the adoro faces and breed choices, all the pooches seen here have the word "terrier" in their breed name. If you think you're a pro with these types, then test yourself and see if you can call out the cute.
Majority of Americans Now Pro-Life, What About You?
The United States is pro-life. Well at least a majority of Americans are. A new Gallup poll shows that 51 percent of American adults call themselves pro-life, compared to 42 percent who consider themselves pro-choice.
How Republican Meg Whitman Plans on Winning Women's Vote
Last week San Francisco mayor Gavin Newsom announced his candidacy for CA governor with a tweet heard round the state. But he's not the only candidate with technological savvy. Meg Whitman, the former CEO of Internet giant eBay, announced her bid back in February.
