I personally believe women should be able to get their shit together before 20 weeks and decide if they want an abortion. Obviously, cases where the mother or baby's life is in danger (or there are medical complications) is different. I just don't think that banning abortions past the age of viabil...

It doesn't need to be a lie. In fact, if Sasha's statement turns out to be untruthful, I wouldn't call it a lie necessarily. He might have misunderstood, misheard, or misinterpreted what DJ said.

Believe it or not there is another Skepchick drama brewing. Oh, I so can't believe it.

PZ is going after Dawkins again, this time over some comments Dawkins is said to have made in an interview in which he says is: " unable to condemn what he called â€œthe mild pedophiliaâ€ he experienced at an English school when he was a child in the 1950s.

It's OK. No signs of cancer.

They don't seem to be denying that Dawkins expressed a disdain for Watson. But why would he be blowing a gasket if she wasn't even invited? The statement is weird.
