Doonesbury

Not surprisingly, a bunch of newspapers have decided not to print today's Doonesbury strip which deals, also not surprisingly, with abortion. It's pretty good.

The Washington Post has an interview with Trudeau about this supposedly divisive strip:

 "I chose the topic of compulsory sonograms because it was in the news and because of its relevance to the broader battle over women's health currently being waged in several states. For some reason, the GOP has chosen 2012 to re-litigate reproductive freedom, an issue that was resolved decades ago. Why [Rick] Santorum, [Rush] Limbaugh et al. thought this would be a good time to declare war on half the electorate, I cannot say. But to ignore it would have been comedy malpractice..."
