A homeless, teenage Occupy Seattle protester claims that, during a recent demonstration, police officers kicked her in the stomach and pepper-sprayed her. She was pregnant at the time, and miscarried several days later. Was there a cause/effect relationship?

Joe McGinniss, author of crazy/enthralling Palin biography The Rogue, went on The View today to demonstrate his trademark ability to force powerful women into awkward discussions of their vaginas.

What experience made you all pro-life? For beloved former President George W. Bush, it was that time his mama had a miscarriage and showed him the jarred fetus. From then on, Bush knew that he must protect America's fetuses, forever.

In September 2001, miscarriages for male fetuses rose 12% over the average across the country, possibly due to "communal bereavement" and stress over the World Trade Center attacks. There is basically nothing that 9/11 didn't just utterly mess up. [NYDN]
