Steven Anderson, the gay-hating pastor who preaches that Barney Frank is a paedophile and that Barack Obama deserves to die, operates out of the Faithful Word Baptist Church in Tempe, Ariz. That means that Anderson's religious sermons declaring that gays are rapists, child molesters, "animals meant to be taken and destroyed," and also secretly bisexual (?), are all being created and disseminated like fifteen minutes away from the house I grew up in! Wow. I knew there was something else I didn't miss about home.

Franks previously introduced a different version of the bill, known as the "Susan B. Anthony Prenatal Nondiscrimination Act of 2008," in the last session of Congress, but the session ended before action was taken.

The Intellectual Conservative Arizona blog notes that 87 percent of Americans support a law to "ban sex selection abortion." The race thing is a little trickier. Barring some sort of hidden interracial extramarital affair—an unlikely scenario—why would any woman abort a baby based on its race? Isn't the fetus' race known before the baby is even conceived?

That's where eugenics arguments become confused with demographics. According to the ICA:

It is estimated that as many as 50 percent of African-American babies conceived in the U.S. each year are eliminated by government subsidized abortion providers. Following the unearthing of the nation-wide race-targeted abortion donations, civil rights activists and African-American pastors from across the country protested government acquiescence in race-targeted abortion and the government funding of clinics that they believe are purposefully placed in the inner city and targeted to minority women.

Ah, of course! This is not about preventing eugenics (itself a scare tactic used to rile up the anti-abortionists). Nope, this is about denying women the right to choose. Those government-funded clinics are not "purposefully placed in the inner city" to target black babies; they're purposefully placed there to give poor women an affordable abortion option. The fact that many of those non-white fetuses are carried by poor women is a reality that Trent Franks, apparently, is not eager to address.

So, Franks would like to take away a black woman's right to choose, lest she choose to abort her black fetus? Yep, there's only one way to fight eugenics, people, and it's with unapologetic racism.

"The Heart Attack Grill," a new burger joint in Chandler, Ariz. bills itself as "worth dying for," and follows that morbid unicorn to the end of its glutenous rainbow. Heart Attack titles its lard-coated burgers after bypasses, wheels away "patients" in wheelchairs, and employs a fleet of waitresses outfitted in Sexy Nurse Halloween costumes. Proprietor "Doctor John" admits to one fallacy associated with his restaurant. "You're dressed like a doctor, but are you a doctor?" asks a CBS News correspondent. "To be honest, the American Medical Association does not recognize me," he says.
