Would Frida Kahlo Call Donald Trump 'Chimp' & Hillary Clinton 'Bonobo'?
Bonobos are by definition progressive Democrats and -- upon reflection -- perhaps the Democratic party should schedule a presentation on patriarchal chimps and matriarchal bonobos at the upcoming July presidential convention. With a prime time night presentation, the DNC could give the nation Mother Nature's best reasons for supporting Hillary Clinton over Donald Trump.
Simply stated, bonobos rock and Frida Kahlo would have found the species to reaffirm her feminist beliefs around cooperative culture and our human roots in Africa. Coming out of Philadelphia and heading for November's presidential election, we must be sure that a bonobo rules. ~ Anne
US Supreme Court Delivers A Huge Win For Abortion Rights
/
Today's 5-to-3 Supreme Court decision was the institution's most sweeping statement on abortion rights since Planned Parenthood v. Casey in 1992. The majority of justices were generally skeptical of abortion restrictions in a restrictive Texas law that theoretically made the medical procedure -- which is far safer than a colonoscopy and almost any other medical procedure -- safer for women. Instead, the majority of justices found that Texas had crossed the line, placing an "undue burden" on Texas women seeking to exercise their abortion rights. The Texas law -- which has been adopted in other states -- already reduced the number of medical health facilities offering abortion services in half. Had it stood, the number would have declined to about 10 for a 2013 high of about 40.
The decision on Monday means that similar restrictions in other states are most likely also unconstitutional. The opinion was so detailed and encompassing that it imperils many other kinds of restrictions on abortion.
Justice Stephen G. Breyer wrote the majority opinion, joined by Justices Anthony M. Kennedy, Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Sonia Sotomayor and Elena Kagan. Chief Justice John G. Roberts Jr. and Justices Clarence Thomas and Samuel A. Alito Jr. dissented. Roberts and Alito wanted to send the law back to the lower court to hammer out the problems whereas Thomas accepted the law in its current form.

Hillary Clinton, Longtime Christian The Atlantic
Anyone who knows Hillary Clinton well was speechless yesterday when the Damn Dimwit Donald told evangelical leaders "we don't know anything about Hillary in terms of religion. Now, shes been in the public eye for years and years, and yet there's no--there's nothing out there. There's like nothing out there."
"Clinton should give a speech about the role religion has played in her life. It might help in Utah, where many Mormons appear repelled by Trump. And it would offer a powerful contrast with the man who now suggests she’s a fake Christian. Clinton knows the Bible far better than Trump. She’s worked far harder to keep her marriage together. And from her early days at the Children’s Defense League, she’s prioritized service while he’s lusted endlessly after superficial, material things."
We Know Plenty About Clinton's Religion FactCheck.org
We do, in fact, know about Hillary’s religion,” Kengor wrote to us in an email. “In fact, we know enough about Hillary’s faith that I was able to write a 334-page book titled God and Hillary Clinton way back in 2007, and I’ve written dozens of articles and given numerous interviews on the subject since—and I’m not the only one. I think that what Donald Trump was telling us is that he knows nothing about Hillary’s faith. For me as a conservative, that doesn’t surprise me one bit, as I’ve noticed painfully and repeatedly that Donald Trump also knows nothing about conservatism.”
We could go on and on about the public treatment of Clinton’s faith. But suffice to say that when Trump says there’s “nothing out there” about Hillary Clinton’s religion, that’s just not so.
