			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Late in the day, <a href="http://opinion.latimes.com/opinionla/2009/11/the-stupak-amendment-deconstructed.html">the terrible Stupak-Pitts Amendment was added to the House&#8217;s healthcare bill</a>. The amendment, supposedly in an effort to keep federal funds from going to pay for abortions [already covered by the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyde_Amendment">Hyde Amendment</a> and policy PAPER disagrees with anyway], essentially prevents insurance from covering abortions and participating in the new government insurance pool. It&#8217;s a rotten development. <a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2009/11/10/boxer-senate-has-votes-to_n_352064.html">Barbara Boxer  [D-CA] already promises the Senate can remove it</a>, <a href="http://www.realclearpolitics.com/articles/2009/11/09/rep_degette_on_abortion__health_care_99095.html">Diana DeGette [D-CO] is collecting signatures</a>, FireDog Lake&#8217;s <a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/jane-hamsher/naral-and-planned-parenth_b_349596.html">Jane Hamsher has words for NARAL and Planned Parenthood</a>, and <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2009/11/10/health/policy/10health.html?_r=1&#038;hpw">Obama doesn&#8217;t like it</a> [video <a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2009/11/09/gibbs-wont-offer-position_n_351064.html">here</a>]. Call/email your rep, write to the editor&#8212;make your disapproval heard. And when Stupak comes up for reelection, let&#8217;s pay attention to that primary.</p>
<p>Elsewhere in the abortion rights struggle, the Stupak nonsense has overshadowed <a href="http://chicagoist.com/2009/11/02/controversial_abortion_notification.php">the new notification law in Chicago</a>. <a href="http://www.whas11.com/news/Battle-over-abortion-is-once-again-igniting-69332627.html">WHAS 11 profiled a Saturday morning at the EMW clinic</a>, and <a href="http://jezebel.com/5397833/three-feminists-on-dirty-words-pop-culture-and-the-language-of-choice">here&#8217;s more about the language of feminism and abortion</a>. And, unsurprisingly, <a href="http://jezebel.com/5396907/planned-parenthood-client-speaks-amid-questions-over-directors-change-of-heart">that Planned Parenthood director&#8217;s &#8220;change of heart&#8221; continues to unravel</a>.</p>
<p><a href="http://jezebel.com/5396118/a-sex-addiction-we-can-believe-in">A thoughtful analysis</a> of <a href="http://www.independent.co.uk/life-style/love-sex/men-women/sex-addict-confessions-of-a-toxic-bachelor-1813573.html">this tale of a &#8220;toxic bachelor&#8221;</a>. </p>
<p>Really horrid: <a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2009/11/09/internet-virus-frames-use_n_350426.html">virus frames computer users for child porn</a>. </p>
<p><a href="http://jezebel.com/5396202/to-catch-a-non+predator-are-online-stings-locking-up-the-innocent">Are those predator stings locking up the innocent?</a></p>
<p>What sort of teens get pregnant? <a href="http://www.baltimoresun.com/news/opinion/oped/bal-op.reimer02.1nov02,0,340553.column">Not necessarily who you think.</a></p>
<p>Lots of LGBTQ articles this week. First, <a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2009/11/04/maine-gay-marriage-vote-e_n_344688.html">another gay marriage iniative has lost</a>, this one in Maine. Pathetic. With this in mind, read about <a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/geoffrey-r-stone/same-sex-marriage-and-the_b_347593.html">the difference between marriage and civil unions</a>. And, here&#8217;s a <a href="http://www.interfaithalliance.org/equality/read">take on gay marriage for the religious</a>. An Obama advisor <a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2009/11/09/melody-barnes-obama-advis_n_351446.html">has offered sympathy for gay marriage</a>, but this is a small comfort.</p>
<p>Meanwhile, <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2009/11/10/nyregion/10marriage.html?_r=1&#038;hp=&#038;pagewanted=all">here&#8217;s a profile of a NYC preacher and representative who swears he isn&#8217;t a homophobe</a>&#8230; but rails against gay marriage. <a href="http://bible.gideonse.com/?p=2479">Here&#8217;s a rant deconstructing that idea.</a> Meanwhile, our society is so gay-friendly that <a href="http://www.feministing.com/archives/018744.html">GLBTQ still tend to think about suicide more frequently</a>. The good news is, as the above rant points out and <a href="http://contexts.org/socimages/2009/11/05/support-for-same-sex-marriage-by-age-and-state/">this data shows</a>, eventually we&#8217;ll have gay marriage. It&#8217;s just pitiful that it&#8217;s a matter of waiting for the old homophobes to die off.</p>
<p>Check out <a href="http://www.glaad.org/Page.aspx?pid=373">the GLAAD media guide</a>.</p>
<p>Hilarious and totally unsurprising: <a href="http://joemygod.blogspot.com/2009/11/carrie-prejean-sex-tape.html>Carrie Prejean has a sex tape</a>. </p>
<p>Sex <a href="http://www.cnn.com/2009/HEALTH/11/04/transient.global.amnesia/index.html">commonly precedes amnesia</a>. Eek! Also, <a href="http://www.nydailynews.com/lifestyle/health/2009/11/05/2009-11-05_allergic_to_sperm_its_more_common_for_women_than_you_might_imagine.html">many women are allergic to sperm</a>&#8212;eek again. And yes, there is such a thing as <a href="http://jezebel.com/5398185/sexsomnia-its-like-sleepwalking-but-with-sex/gallery/">sexsomnia</a>. </p>
<p>Good news for men with unfortunate injuries: <a href="http://www.webmd.com/erectile-dysfunction/news/20091109/progress-in-rebuilding-penile-erectile-tissue">there&#8217;s progress in rebuilding erectile tissue</a>.</p>
<p>Important reviews: <a href="http://blogs.consumerreports.org/health/2009/11/condoms-effectiveness-facts-reviews-ratings-rated-reliability-reliable.html">the seven best condoms</a>.</p>
<p>And a little something fun: <a href="http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=200901387941&#038;ref=nf">the Fourth Annual Orgasm for Peace</a>. While we never need an excuse to have an orgasm, may as well have one for a good cause!</p>
