Today's Lady News: Iowa's House Passes Ban On Abortions After 20 Weeks

Today's Lady News
  • Iowa's House of Representatives advanced a bill to ban abortions after 20 weeks of pregnancy, based on the claim touted by anti-abortion activists that after 20 weeks a fetus can feel pain. The bill only offers an exception to save the life of the mother. It now heads to Iowa's Democrat-controlled Senate, where it is unclear whether it will pass. [Reuters]
  • The International Olympic Committee announced today it would add women's ski jumping to the 2014 Olympics. Last year, women ski jumpers filed a lawsuit in Canada to compete in the 2010 Vancouver Olympics, but lost. [New York Times]
  • The CEO of Gearbox, which created the sexist video game Duke Nukem Forever, in which players get to slap women across the face to "calm them down," says Duke isn't "misogynist," he's just "ego-centric," and that's why the character acts so macho. Mansplaining at its finest! [Escapist Magazine]
  • Texas' House of Representatives passed an amendment on Friday to establish "Student Centers for Family and Traditional Values" at universities, presumably to counteract the ill effects of the LGBT and women's centers. [Hay Ladies]

Briston Palin Earns $262,500 as an Abstinence Speaker!

Briston Palin Earns $262,500 as an Abstinence Speaker!

Much of "real America" is struggling to make ends meet right now -- but not Bristol Palin, who is raking in big bucks as an abstinence speaker. According to the Associated Press, newly released tax forms reveal that the former teen mom was paid $262,500 dollars last year as an ambassador for The Candie's Foundation, a nonprofit dedicated to preventing teen pregnancy. That's a shockingly big salary for what is essentially charity work. And here's an even bigger shocker: Bristol's salary was seven times what the foundation actually spent on abstinence education and pregnancy prevention!

According to their filing, The Candie's Foundation only gave out $35,000 in grants to teen pregnancy health and counseling clinics. The rest of the funds went to Palin's salary, plus a TV advertising budget of $165,000 -- which funded that memorably awkward conversation between Palin and Mike "The Situation" Sorrentino. Naturally, this begs the question: Is putting Bristol Palin's face in magazine ads really the best use of the abstinence-education foundation's limited budget?

The Candie's Foundation says that they got what they paid for: teenagers' attention. In a statement responding to the controversy, the organization claims that more than twice as many teens responded positively to the Bristol Palin PSA than to ads featuring non-famous teens. "Bristol... has been a courageous and powerful partner to the foundation as we attempt to discourage teen pregnancy," says the statement. An insider also told E! that it is "not out of the ordinary for a celebrity to make an income off of a charity they represent."

Be that as it may, Bristol's huge pay-out only amplifies the problem with her endorsement in the first place: She's preaching the hardships of teen pregnancy while appearing to suffer very few of them herself. The Candie's Foundation says that Palin is getting the normal "celebrity" treatment, but the fact is, she's a celebrity because she had a baby when she was 17 (and, of course, because that's couple with the fact that her mom is Sarah Palin). Would Bristol have gone on to get a six-figure job, or do Dancing With the Stars, or publish her memoir (her next big project) if she had practiced the abstinence she preaches?

To be fair, Bristol didn't drop out of high school. She graduated at 18 with a 3.497 GPA and plans on going to college. But as the Washington Post points out, half of teen mothers don't graduate high school before 22. Bristol is an anomaly, a success story in a situation with very few of them. The Candie's Foundation says they're reaching billions of teenagers, but what do those teenagers actually see when they look at a Bristol Palin abstinence ad? Does it give them a sobering reminder of the reality of teen motherhood -- or does it make them think that a teenage girl with a baby really can have it all?

AnnaSophia Robb Opens Up About "Soul Surfer"

Continuing onward with promotional duties for her latest project "Soul Surfer," AnnaSophia Robb stopped by Planted Hollywood Times Square in New York City earlier today (April 6).

The 17-year-old looked fun and trendy while sporting a black leather jacket, gold tasseled necklace, blue jeans, and buckled black leather boots during the midday handprint ceremony.

As for her new flick, AnnaSophia recently opened up to Collider about her role as Bethany Hamilton in the film, telling, "I was really fascinated by the character and thought it would be really challenging. I was curious about how you would feel if you lost your arm. Would you be angry at God? How would it affect your relationship with your parents? What kept her on the board? I was curious about all that stuff."

Robb went on to say that the impact of Hamilton's story has gone well beyond the set, dishing,"What it?s really taught me is to have perspective on things, with challenges or difficulties, or things that don?t necessarily go the way that I plan them. They say, 'When man makes plans, God laughs.' It?s that sort of mentality, where there?s a plan for my life and I just have to take life day by day."
