9th Circuit Rules Prop 8 UNCONSTITUTIONAL! →
The court’s decision upheld a 2010 decision by former Judge R. Vaughn Walker that found marriage to be a fundamental right protected by the Constitution, and that the proposition “fails to advance any rational basis in singling out gay men and lesbians for denial of a marriage license.”

I work with some of the organizers of this case, who say he has health insurance and his own wife is willing to donate her other kidney, yet they won’t operate on him because of his immigration status!

Why Komen defunded Planned Parenthood →
In some ways, the Komen decision isn’t particularly surprising. The group has been under pressure from anti-abortion rights groups not to fund Planned Parenthood.

stay-human:
These corporations, if they were individual human beings, would be locked up for life. Instead, they continue raking in the big bucks. Human rights abuses, murder, war, eco disasters, and animal exploitation keep these evil companies raking in the green. Prepare to be disgusted.
