The Atlantic featured a vignette of a prominent Alt-Right Atheist Troll. Rather than being good without god; it seems some atheists reject religion and gravitate to hateful ideologies. My husband Aron Ra and others helped to build an atheist community. However, it seems that community can also be a convenient audience for deceptive Anti-PC rhetoric and faux […]
Big pay day for Anti-Choicer Everett: Texas Awards 1.65 million dollar grant
The Raw Report is reporting that Carol Everett has been awarded a 1.65 million dollar grant for her Heidi Group that seeks to dissuade women from having abortions. I debated Carol Everett on the legality of abortion last October and she made many claims that just don’t pass scientific muster. Since then, she has been testifying in favor […]
Fact Checking Anti-Abortionist Carol Everett VS Lilandra Ra Debate
The United States has made some encouraging progress since I debated the question “Should Abortion be Legal?” Last year in October, I debated with staunch abortion opponent Carol Everett. Everett makes the rounds on conservative programs such as the 700 Club and Focus on the Family and also Fox News. Her group, the Heidi Group, networks and trains Crisis Pregnancy […]
SCOTUS to rule soon on undue burden on abortion clinics
The US Supreme Court ruling on Whole Woman’s Health v. Hellerstedt from Texas’s HB2 that enacted draconian restrictions on abortion providers may come down as soon as Monday. What will the Supreme Court ruling on whether abortion TRAP laws (Targeted Regulation of Abortion Providers) like TX HB2 mean for pregnant people across the country? Aron Ra […]
If you needed another reason to go to Reason Rally…
More than a few atheists (unfortunately), who are angry at Reason Rally for standing up for Reproductive Rights and LGBTQ equality, are refusing to go. I can’t say I will miss the unwarranted hostility because there will be plenty from creationists like Ray Comfort. Aron posted a video commenting on the diversity of viewpoints despite what anti-feminists […]
Why we don’t support media trolls
It’s not like we don’t see people reminding us in comments on videos asking Aron if he is going to respond to something a media troll said. Often fans of media trolls try to start off-topic comment battles on every one of Aron’s videos even on innocuous topics that are not controversial in the atheist […]
More Good News from SCOTUS for Pro-Choice Advocates
Good News for Pro-Choice Texans and the rest of states affected by Draconian abortion clinic regulations. The Supreme Court has granted a stay to allow Texas’s 18 remaining clinics to stay open until it decides whether it will hear testimony on how Texas HB2 puts an undue burden on the ability to obtain a safe, […]
Battle Journal: The Great Shushing of Atheist Feminists on Youtube Continues
One of the few atheist feminists on youtube Steve Shives posted a joke about that today: The name “Steve” comes from the Greek word meaning “5th or 6th most popular non-misogynist YouTube atheist.” #LittleKnownFact Aron is gratified that Steve considers him an exception to the rule. I responded:(few edits for clarity) The weird thing […]
By God! Legislators take a stand, so that Jesus won’t return and find gay marriage!
Newly elected Christian Right legislators gathered in the Texas Capitol Building’s auditorium today, and vowed to defend marriage from LGBT couples. No mention of a lesbian couple that a judge allowed to marry, because of life threatening circumstances. You bet your bippy, they will put a stop to that though!
Breaking Love and Reproductive Rights Out of the Christian Frame
I have been pleasantly surprised that the youtube comments on my speech on The Heart of Humanism at The Southern California Secular Humanism Conference are mainly addressing the topic. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4oJB0bH_1EQ Especially because I addressed how secularists need to examine where their beliefs about love in particular may be influenced by Christian culture such as ideas […]
