The chilling documentary (from 2000) about militant anti-abortion groups in America is available on YouTube. It's well worth checking out if you have time - a fascinating insight into what makes people like this tick. The rest of the documentary can be viewed here. (Via PoeTV)
After “sticking a hanger in [her] vagina and “losing a baby” (like she was at the grocery store), crazy, crazy mother of two Gwen picked up HIV through a blood transfusion (or, in her words, “poison blood”), and is intent on spreading on to as many men as possible, which already includes “half of the New Orleans Police Department.” This clip is just one in a series of Ricki Lake Minisodes, which trims full episodes down to under five minutes, making them ripe for both cultural theorists and people who like their freak shows “fun-sized.”
Culture Buzz The Christian social worker deceived legions of loyal readers after blogging about being pregnant with a terminally ill baby - whom she planned to keep to term - before revealing it was all a hoax in the name of pushing her own pro-life agenda.

Culture Buzz A blog by a 23-year-old, chronicling her abortion. She maintains the site’s not a fake, but came out of a need to document what’s happening, and also because Googling the phrase “abortion blog” resulted in sites that gave her nightmares.
TV Buzz Sherri Shepherd, a co-host on ABC’s The View, opened up in a black Christian women’s magazine to reveal that she has had several abortions. Even though I know you read Precious Times magazine religiously, there’s a slight chance you might have missed this tidbit. It’s so inspirational to know that people can have, like, 8 abortions and still muster a smile that huge.
Culture Buzz Yale art student Aliza Shvarts’ senior art project documents a nine-month process during which she artificially inseminates herself while inducing miscarriages over and over. Her exhibition will feature video recordings of these forced miscarriages as well as preserved collections of the blood from the process.
