I hate this shit. It's so easy to manipulate they masses into believing something, why would you bother to gain their support to hard way?

The other day an article was going around claiming that the Seattle school district was forcing 12 year old girls to have IUDs implanted without their parents knowledge or consent. Of course that's bullshit, any rational person can see that but getting the truth out there is a hundred times harder. Furthermore, many of the "news" groups that share this sort of stuff will reference each other as though having a reference lends them credibility. But it's a giant circle jerk of references with no credible source among them.

    ...said businesswoman Carly Fiorina. “This isn’t about ‘choice.’ It’s about profiting on the death of the unborn while telling women it’s about empowerment.”

Right, cause she is the authority on profiting off at the expense of others.
