Tear up their solicitations. This organization, with the stated mission of helping babies have healthy lives from birth, has pimped women and their children to big pharmaceutical companies.
The issue is that generic progesterone is a drug that can prevent preterm labor and a pharmacist can easily compound the drug for $10 to $20.

The advertisement features Tebow's mother touting her son as a "miracle baby". The Religious Right has committed, in running this advertisement, a horrible obscenity.

The NFL has decided to air a "pro-life" and possibly false advertisement from the homophobic and misogynist Focus On The Family. The sponsor of the half-time show is a tire company, Bridgestone, that violates the human rights of rubber collectors with horrible working and living conditions as well as miserable pay.

The following news is a Goddess-send for liberals.
Ex-gov of Alaska and evangelical freak show Iquitirod winner Sarah Palin is going to be a commentator on Fox.
