Joss Whedon: GOP Has ‘Declared War On Our Children’
It’s all over for America’s kids now. At least that’s Joss Whedon thinks as he took to twitter, on Tuesday, to declare his rage the GOP for confirming Betsy DeVos as Education Secretary.

Former Planned Parenthood Worker Says Abortions Rewarded with Pizza
The liberal media boast close ties with Planned Parenthood, so it'll be interesting to see how they cover the abortion giant’s “quotas,” if at all. On Tuesday, Live Action, a pro-life nonprofit, released a video in which a former Planned Parenthood employee admitted that clinics used incentives, such as pizza parties, as a “motivator” to meet abortion quotas.
