Saturday, January 22, marks the 38th anniversary of Roe. v. Wade, which established a woman's right to have an abortion. On that day, both sides of the argument will come together, if you will, in San Francisco to duke it out. Verbally, that is. more ›

Humboldt County hippie and author, Lierre Keith, was spattered with delicious cream pies Saturday afternoon as she was speaking at the 15th Annual Bay Area Anarchist Book Fair down at the Cow Palace (or someplace). Apparently, the recovering vegan and author of The Vegetarian Myth, a book that supposedly suggests that all agriculture should be eliminated and every human on this planet should take up hunting and gathering (because, you know, that's practical), was giving a talk and had only managed to utter a denouncement of factory farmed meat before being attacked by black clad, pro-life hippies screaming, "Go Vegan." The attack reportedly prompted some cheers from the audience as well as a flurry of anti-war/no war for oil/pro-DC statehood/liberate Palestine/stop animal testing leafleting. Apparently, as if smacking someone in the face with a pie weren't bad enough, the cream filling was laced with chili peppers to prompt maximum discomfort. Mean! more ›

Steve Rhodes was at last night's vigil for Dr. George Tiller, the activist who was murdered this past weekend by an anti-abortion zealot. more ›

Pro-abortion people, listen up: You know that doctor that was murdered this weekend? There will be a vigil for him (and for keeping abortion legal) tonight in front of City Hall, starting at 7 p.m. See, Women's Health Care Services founder, Dr. George Tiller, was shot and killed while attending church services with his family this weekend. A deranged lunatic, Scott Roeder, 51, has been arrested in connection with the shooting. Anyway, word has it that the rally vigil for Tiller is tonight. So, if this kind of thing is your bag, head over to the Civic Center area to voice your frustration. UPDATE: Here's the official Facebook page. (Note: Please don't put candles on the Lincoln statue!) more ›

Well, it was quite a weekend for abortion, wasn't it? The anniversary of Roe v. Wade brought out all kinds of fruits and nuts to show their support for either side of the abortion argument. One side being that a magical creature in the sky will send you to the big pot-au-feu below the Earth's crust if you terminate your pregnancy; the other being that there are too many people on the planet thus we need to find a way to get rid of a few. Or something like that. more ›
