    'The #Reform candidate for Makerfield, Robert Kenyon, said #women should be denied #abortions even if they had been #raped by a family member; the Reform MP Sarah Pochin said there were too many #black people on #television; the Reform candidate for Rayleigh West, Stuart Prior, said #white people were the master #race and had bigger #brains than black people; the Reform candidate for Bootle West, Jay Leslie Cooper, said the #Holocaust was a #hoax; ....'

  2. Um, so, make #FamilyPlanning and #Abortions illegal, force women to give birth, take away affordable health care, and then freeze #Childcare funds! As I've said before, #ProBirth is NOT #ProLife!

  3. #Maine #FamilyPlanning will close its primary care practice at end of October

    "Maine Family Planning says it cannot sustain its primary care practice beyond this month.

    "The nonprofit says it faced an impossible decision after losing $2 million in #Medicaid funding under a new federal law. That means 800 patients in #Aroostook and #Hancock counties will now need to find new primary care providers.

    "The law bans health providers who also offer #abortions from being reimbursed by Medicaid.

    “ 'The cruel and dangerous law has put us in an impossible situation,' President and CEO George Hill said in a written statement. 'Discharging and turning away vulnerable patients strikes at the very heart of MFP’s reputation as a trusted community provider that has been able to serve patients of any means for more than 50 years.'

    "As a result, #MaineFamilyPlanning says they've been providing primary care to Medicaid patients in #EllsworthME, #HoultonME, and #PresqueIsleME free of charge since July."

  4. #BirthControl in #AncientRome

    Unlike ancient Greek texts, Roman medical literature is full of methods for both preventing pregnancy, and dealing with unwanted pregnancies.

    A popular contraceptive method involved inserting “vaginal suppositories” (Lefkowitz, 253), or “a lock of fine wool into the orifice of the uterus” (Lefkowitz, 253).
