There's an election coming up, and you know what that means -- it's time to waste Californian's time and money by forcing us to consider initiatives that we've already voted on! This time around, if anti-choicers have their way, we are going to vote for the fourth time since 2005 on parental notification for minors seeking an abortion. more ›

You may have seen the anti-abortion billboards up around town targeting African-American women, which call black children an "endangered species" and have a link to anti-choice group toomanyaborted.com. Now, the OC Weekly reports that signs with the same message are cropping up in LA, only this time the targeted audience is Latinos. more ›

Last night, Culver City became the most recent California city to enact a ban on cat declawing, joining L.A., Berkeley and San Francisco, to name a few. With all the hullabaloo surrounding the bans, and many people wondering why policy-makers are spending their time on this, the question on everyone's mind is: what's the big deal? Is your kitteh really better off with or without his nails? And is it worth the mindpower and consideration of elected officials who inarguably have bigger fish to fry? more ›

President Obama is expected to sign an executive order today that will repeal the Mexico City Policy, or "global gag rule." The policy prevents federal funding from going to organizations operating oversees that even mention abortion, let alone offer it or provide referrals for it. more ›

Tomorrow's inauguration is a reason for many people to celebrate, and one of America's most-loved doughnut-sellers wants to give you another reason to rejoice:

Krispy Kreme Doughnuts, Inc. is honoring American's sense of pride and freedom of choice on Inauguration Day, by offering a free doughnut of choice to every customer on this historic day, Jan. 20. By doing so, participating Krispy Kreme stores nationwide are making an oath to tasty goodies -- just another reminder of how oh-so-sweet "free" can be.

As election day closes in, a Field Poll shows 45% of voters in favor and 43% opposed to Prop 4 (parental notification for minor's abortions). An earlier Field Poll, from September of this year, showed the initiative ahead by 49% to 41%. If history is any indicator of the outcome, it's heartening to know that nearly identical initiatives from the past two election cycles (Prop 85 and Prop 73) were also leading in the polls before election day and wound up being voted down. more ›

As it gets closer to the November election, more and more propositions are being qualified for the ballot. Most notably is Prop. 8 (pdf), something that's been talked about for a couple months now.

Jessica got rufied and gang-raped. A Harry Potter-loving nerd beat up his sister then killed himself. And a deranged student fired off a semi-automatic weapon into the cafeteria of a high school. Yes, it was a busy day in hell, as told by the cast of Hollywood Hellhouse. But it was all in a day’s work. Created by Maggie Rowe, Hollywood Hellhouse is a spoof of Christian-themed haunted houses that are put on by... more ›
