It’s that time of year again: Time to bowl for abortion access for the National Abortion Access Bowl-A-Thon! I am proud to say that SCS has participated all three years of this event. But this year is special, because this year I am not just doing a virtual campaign to raise money for this good…
So, admitted drug addict and destroyer of “traditional” marriage Rush Limbaugh shouted “Slut!” into his microphone this week and the country has turned on a dime. (Cue: Sound of record scratch.)
