Don't you just love hypocritical Republicans when it comes to the issue of abortion?

Planned Parenthood is working hard to make sure women in red states have access to abortion.
Planned Parenthood officials on Monday announced plans for a mobile abortion clinic — a 37-foot RV that will stay in Illinois but travel close to the borders of adjoining states that have banned the procedure since the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade earlier this year.
The announcement came 100 days after the Supreme Court ruling that stripped away constitutional protections for abortions, allowing states to ban the procedure. Illinois didn’t institute an abortion ban, but neighboring Missouri, Kentucky and Tennessee did, along with several other states in the South and Midwest.

Obituary: Actress and activist Sacheen Littlefeather, 75, who gained notoriety back in 1973 when she did actor Marlon Brando's dirty work for him and told the Academy Awards and the entire world he would not accept his Best Actor award for his role in The Godfather, has died.
A lot of bullshit stories have surrounded the story over the years, years after the fact, which Littlefeather herself swallowed whole, including the fairytale John Wayne was so "angry" over the Brando snub, he had to be "restrained" by others. Given John Wayne had suffered from lung cancer, and its recurrence around that time proved ultimately fatal, and given his offscreen personality was very different from the roles he played onscreen, the fairytale was doubtless a fairytale. It never happened.
Those of us who were alive then and remember the Oscars of that year KNOW this never happened.
