• Should Joe Scarborough Speak Up on Tiller Killing?

  As you're probably aware Dr. George Tiller, the medical director of a Wichita, Kansas clinic that provided late-term abortions, was killed this weekend while attending a church ceremony. Scott Roeder, a far-right anti-tax nut with a history of mental illness and a taste for the fire and brimstone of the Old Testament, is in custody as the sole suspect. The Tiller killing has brought up reflection on the assassinations of other doctor who provides abortion services i

  Krispy Kreme, being the genial purveyor of glazed goodness that it is, decided to get in on the Obama inauguration craze and is offering one free doughnut to every costumer on January 20, Inauguration day, and released this seemingly innocuous press release: "Krispy Kreme Doughnuts, Inc. (NYSE: KKD) 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.

  Despite the fact that just about every reasonable person on either side of the debate who read the American Life League's breathless press release about Krispy Kreme doughnut's liberal use of the word "choice" in a press release thought they must be either insane or joking, ALL persisted. And now, they've got the appology from Krispy Kreme they were seeking. "The use of the phrase "freedom of choice" by any corporation, particularly when used to coincide with President-elect Obama's inauguratio

• Republicans Call for Murder Charges in Botched Abortion

  Nearly two and half years ago, New Times covered the story of a botched abortion which resulted in a live birth. Belkis Gonzalez, the owner of the Hialeah clinic, cut the umbilical cord after staff started screaming that the child was alive, she then sealed the child in a bio-hazard bag and through it in the trash. The doctor who was supposed to perform the operation failed to show up on time, and the live birth was endued by drugs designed to dilate the cervix.Last week, the doctor in the case

• Kendrick Meek Opposes Using Federal Funds to Pay for Abortions

  Rep. Kendrick Meek has joined a small group of house Democrats asking that any health-care reforms not lead to federal funding of abortion, according to the Washington Post. The possibility of taxpayer money being used to pay for abortions is becoming a hot-button issue in the health-care reform debate -- one that Republicans might use to completely derail the purpose. Meek joined four other centrist Democrats who sent a letter to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi saying they are "increasingly conc

  ​Last November, pro-life groups put a ballot measure before Colorado voters asking them if "personhood" should be extended to the moment of conception. Even in a politically heated and polarized year, voters rejected the amendment by 73 percent. But that hasn't stopped Personhood USA and the American Life League from trying to pass similar measures in other states, including Florida. Personhood FL will kick off a petition drive today facing the Florida Supreme Court. The new amendmen

One of the country's most gripping abortion trials will begin at 9 a.m. And Riptide has some new info to add to an old case.
