BOSTON — A local atheists' group is crying foul over the decision to allow a Nativity scene to be displayed inside the State House, just days before Christmas.
Zachary Bos, state director for American Atheists, told the NewBostonPost that he is specifically angered at what he called a "legal threat" posed by the Thomas More Society, a conservative Chicago-based nonprofit law firm that specializes in part in religious freedom matters.
Unless you haven't been paying attention, you know what Lena Dunham said about abortion.
Dunham, whose main claim to fame is the rather sad social commentary sitcom Girls, told an interviewer on the "Woman of the Hour" podcast Tuesday that she was once approached by a young girl doing a project on women who have had abortions. Dunham said she told the girl she'd never had an abortion. It was (perhaps) a refreshing moment of honesty for Dunham, who in the past has had few qualms in laying claim to traumatic experiences, including accounts that were later found to be largely fabricated – I refer to the bizarre tales of sexual assault in her memoir, Not That Kind of Girl.
