“Effing the ineffable”? I don’t even know what that means

Got an email today about a mental health article titled “We are happy conservatives here to brainwash you into doing bad things for your body.” Oh, wait. It wasn’t called that. It was called “Abortion causes massive mental health problems for women.”

I can’t speak to the quality of the research cited, which I’m going to look into later today, but I’m disturbed by the presentation and contextualization of the data, on a website that’s admittedly a conservative hub. I get along with everyone—right-wingers, lefties, ambidextrous people—but this site is a little too strident for me, and I feel like it’s representative of how the anti-abortion movement is being waged—cannily, and persuasively—so it’s worth taking a look.

One of the advertisers on the website it the conservative T-shirt maker thoseshirts.com, who say they’ve been “effing the ineffable since 1991.” Good for them! I think.

Pictured here: a new take on the radical Che Guavara shirt that those damn kids are always sporting. With the cutie boy shirts (isn’t that desecration of the flag?), it’s a fashion do. I only wish Ann Coulter were the model.
