RU-486

RU-486, or Mifepristone, is a drug administered in the first 70 days of a pregnancy to induce abortion; it is often used as a two-drug protocol alongside Misoprostol (which is also used to treat stomach ulcers) for this purpose, producing the colloquial nickname abortion pill(s) or Plan C.Sarah McCammon (February 24, 2023). "Why an ulcer drug could be the last option for many abortion patients". Morning Edition. NPR.Eleanor J. Bader (September 28, 2021). "Plan C Is Making Abortion More Accessible Nationwide". The Progressive. The two-drug combination is also used to medically manage spontaneous miscarriages.Mara Gordon and Sarah McCammon (January 10, 2019). "A Drug That Eases Miscarriages Is Difficult For Women To Get". Health Shots. NPR. RU-486 can also be used to treat hypercortisolism (a hormone condition), symptomatic leiomyoma (uterine fibroids), and endometriosis. Sarah Jane Tribble (April 10, 2018). "How A Drugmaker Turned The Abortion Pill Into A Rare-Disease Profit Machine". The Washington Post and Kaiser Health News. (Archived).
Because it is a drug, because it does not require sedation and the "horror show" that the "Right to Life" groups suggest abortion clinics are, and because it can be taken without anyone knowing, many people in the anti-abortion movements around the US and Europe feared that this drug would make abortion easy, and *gasp* then everyone would want one.
After France proved the drug was successful in inducing abortions both consistently and safely, and so approved it for distribution, German anti-abortion groups pressured the German company to cease distribution of the drug. Roussel-Uclaf blocked the sale of RU-486 until the French minister of health ordered that it be provided, saying, [from the moment government approval for the drug was granted] "RU-486 has become the moral property of women, not just the property of the pharmaceutical industry.""Le RU 486 est devenu la propriété morale des femmes, pas seulement la propriété de la société pharmaceutique." Following a crackdown on abortion in Poland, the state began testing the blood of women who experienced miscarriages in reportedly-successful attempts to find traces of abortion pills.Sushmitha Ramakrishnan (November 6, 2023). "Poland: A hunt for traces of abortion pills in women's blood". Deutsche Welle.
Due to fears for the safety of employees as well as safety associated with the drug manufacturing plant and the risk of intentional tampering with the drug coming from the plant, the US Food and Drug Administration did not provide the name of the manufacturer given a license to make RU-486. The "pro-life" groups pose such a threat that even today, the plant does not list the city, let alone the address of its production line. the maker of the drug in the US.

Rabies

Rabies is a cross-species viral disease that is exceedingly rare in many Western countries, because of giving all the little puppies autism animal vaccination.Rabies, WHO fact sheet Rabies causes about 26,000 to 55,000 deaths per year, mostly in Asia and Africa where it is typically transmitted to humans by dog bites. In the U.S. the plurality of cases come from bats (11 of the 34 cases reported between 2003 and 2011); raccoons are also a popular vector, primarily in the northeast, accounting for 7 of the cases.Rabies surveillance in the United States, CDC Almost all mammals are susceptible to rabies, and can transmit the disease to humans. Birds are almost entirely immune to rabies, as their immune systems are equipped to handle it, and even those which show symptoms almost always have it clear up in a couple days.http://www.jwildlifedis.org/doi/abs/10.7589/0090-3558-24.2.264http://www.jwildlifedis.org/doi/abs/10.7589/0090-3558-12.3.392http://www.jwildlifedis.org/doi/abs/10.7589/0090-3558-12.3.444 Rabies is pretty damn nasty and almost always fatal after symptoms have developed (even today), which is why vaccination is so important. Vaccination after exposure (but before symptoms) is usually effective in preventing disease.
==Vaccination==
Rabies has been fully or partially eliminated in many countries as a result of dog vaccination, human vaccination, and wildlife vaccination (which involves dropping edible vaccines into the wildernessEstonia declares rabies-free status). A recent example is Bangladesh, which reduced the number of rabies cases by 50% through the management of dog bites, mass dog vaccination and increased availability of vaccines free of charge.Bangladesh tackles rabies through mass dog vaccination
A number of countries are considered to be "rabies-free" in land animals (not bats).Rabies-Free Countries and Political Units, CDC

Race

A race is a competition of speed. This typically involves a group of individuals attempting to reach a destination point faster than their opponents (often according to a predetermined path). There are many types of races; sprinting, marathon, swimming, bicycle, auto, motorcycle, boat, air, etc. Race enthusiasts (racists for short) are people who like races — especially whatever particular race style that they themselves identify with. Self-styled race specialists (a.k.a. racialists who adhere to what they call "scientific racism") are so interested in racing that they've made a whole new sport out of trying to categorize "types" of races. 
==Other definitions==
Separately from the above, race may also refer to:
*An informal classification in taxonomy, typically below the level of subspecies.
*An alternative term for "breed" (e.g. dog breed), an even more informal classification based on what traits the breeders arbitrarily decided to breed into the animals under their care.
*A super-informal term used in fantasy fiction to denote morphologically distinct groups of beings who may be very closely related (e.g. Orcs being corrupted Elves) or wholly unrelated (e.g. Elves and Dwarves were created separately by different beings). A character's alignment/moral perspective is often wholly predetermined by race, except with humans. (Totally not racist.)
*An ambiguous term used to racially categorize human beings, often synonymous with "ethnicity", implying some degree of shared ancestry, history and sometimes culture.
*A political race, also known as an election, sometimes known as a circus and too often as a farce.
*An arms race, also known as the lead-up to a war.

Race Traitor

Race Traitor was a journal published from 1993 to 2005, lasting for sixteen issues.http://racetraitor.org/abolish.htmlhttp://racetraitor.org Contributors included Noel Ignatiev, John Garvey, Beth Henson, and others.
The journal was dedicated to the idea of abolishing whiteness as a subject position, and summarized its central philosophy with the slogan "treason to whiteness is loyalty to humanity." An editorial in the first issue clarified that the idea of abolishing the white race did not involve the literal killing of white people; instead, the journal called for the idea of a white race to be abandoned, on the grounds that white privilege would cease to exist as a result. However, the journal did on one occasion advocate the "bashing" of individuals for being white: "we intend to keep bashing the dead white males, and the live ones, and the females too, until the social construct known as ‘the white race’ is destroyed — not ‘deconstructed’ but destroyed."http://harvardmagazine.com/2002/09/abolish-the-white-race.html
This rather crankish journal appears to have had little influence. Its most notable legacy seems to lie in its adoption by white nationalists as evidence that all anti-racists are secretly anti-white bigots who are plotting the genocide of the white race.
==Diversity Chronicle==
In November 2013, the blog Diversity Chronicle ran a satirical attack on Noel Ignatiev that jokingly claimed that he had ended his university tenure by telling all white males in his class to commit suicide.http://diversitychronicle.wordpress.com/2013/11/18/progressive-professor-urges-white-male-students-to-commit-suicide-during-class/ Despite the blog having a disclaimer identifying its content as "largely satirical",http://diversitychronicle.wordpress.com/disclaimer/ various sources reported its piece on Ignatiev as fact; these include Gateway Pundit,http://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2013/11/progressive-professor-tells-white-males-to-commit-suicide-in-final-lecture/ the Bolton BNP blog,http://boltonbnp.blogspot.co.uk/2013/11/progressive-professor-urges-white-male.html and Conservapedia.<capture>http://conservapedia.com/index.php?title=Template:Mainpageright&diff=1070386&oldid=1070385</capture>

Rachel Maddow

Rachel Maddow is a vampireMaddow ‘outs’ herself as a ‘lesbian vampire | Rawstory.com political pundit with a television show (creatively named The Rachel Maddow Show) featuring her commentary on MSNBC. Her show debuted in September of 2008. She is generally known for reasoned examination of issues from a liberal perspective (with a more than occasional dose of mockery).
After getting a bachelor's degree in public policy from Stanford, she went on to Oxford (outside the United States!) to get her doctorate in political science on a Rhodes Scholarship (just like Bill Clinton). And she's a lesbian. So she's clearly out to destroy American civilization and decency. Just by existing. And boy does that piss off the conservatives.
==Positions==
While she is a self-described Eisenhower Era Republican, today her policies might seem much closer to Hillary Clinton. Her pet issues seem to be LGBT equality (file this one under duh), women's reproductive rights, veterans' issues and most importantly the Military-industrial complex which she wrote a book about that became a best seller and nominated her for a Grammy. Her style of journalism and interviewing can be described as passive and calm with an infusion of geeky.Likes: Charts, graphs, airborne pictures, cars (she calls herself a "car dork"). She is not one to be combative in her interviews, instead preferring to use the interviewee's words against them and use the segment right afterwards to do an impromptu fact-check. She has been shown to get emotional on air where after being told a story about a school shooting victim she broke down in tears and control had to cut to commercial at her behest.
After the presidency of Donald Trump took off, coupled with Fox News scandals involving the 9PM slot, her viewership had begun to surge causing her for at least one quarter to have the highest ratings.http://www.adweek.com/tvnewser/q2-2017-ratings-rachel-maddow-has-the-no-1-cable-news-show-among-adults-25-54/333372
By mid 2021, the news cycle was much calmer, with Joe Biden replacing the tumultuous Donald Trump as president, and the COVID-19 pandemic under control in the United States due to a widespread vaccination rollout. This helped to cause viewership declines across all cable news network channels. Despite this, Maddow was duking it out for the "most watched program on cable news" category with Fox News heavyweights like Tucker Carlson and Sean Hannity, sometimes even taking the top spot in some reports."Cable News Wave Crests in First Quarter as All 3 Networks Claim Victory" by Rick Porter, Hollywood Reporter, 2021 March 30"Tucker Carlson Leads Fox News To Big Win In April Prime Time Ratings" by Mark Joyella, Forbes, 2021 April 27 It was later announced that as part of her contract renewal for MSNBC, The Rachel Maddow Show would air on Mondays only, while Maddow focused on other creative ventures, like the film adaptation of her Bag Man podcast.

Radfem Hub

Radfem Hub is pretty much to radical feminism what Stormfront is to Neo-Nazism. If Valerie Solanas and Mary Daly had collaborated on an internet blog together, it might have looked something like this. It's basically where individuals of the radfem clogosphere collectively congregate to fantasize about killing men, trans women, non-radical feminists ("funfems"), and female practitioners of Abrahamic religions; fantasize about the impending extinction of the Y chromosome, development of parthenogenesis and instigation of a lesbian utopia; and just generally live-up to every negative stereotype the American right and its pundits harbor about feminism, all whilst claiming that their ideology somehow [A] is biophilic and [B] has nothing to do with men.
Thankfully, the original site is now deadGallusMag. "R.I.P. RadFem Hub." GenderTrender. Archived from the original dated 22 February 2013. and exists only in Fundies Say The Darndest Things quotes.
Here's a sample of its particularly colorful posts:
Delightful. Oh, and don't tell us the radfems are getting into chemtrail conspiracy theories now.
Sometime in late 2011, a men's rights activist going by the username Agent Orange spent time undercover on the website gathering up screenshots of bile such as that above, in addition to tracking down the identities of posters, and then released his data as the Agent Orange Files. In addition to the predictable firestorm of outrage his findings caused on MRA blogs, a convention center in London where the managers of the website were planning to host a conference barred them after AO sent a copy to them.http://www.avoiceformen.com/updates/action-updates/radfems-ousted-from-conway-hall/ While we will concur that the site certainly does contain a lot of true misandry and transphobia, there are other times where its posters have legitimate points.http://www.wehuntedthemammoth.com/2011/12/22/agentorange-and-the-screencaps-of-feminazi-doom/ As usual, the MRA community used it as an excuse for misogyny. Ultimately this site proves the point that radical feminists and MRAs are closer to each other than people who actually believe in equality.

Radiation woo

Radiation woo refers to the collection of hysteria, nonsense, and quackery loosely collected around the concept of radiation. It is notable for completely failing to distinguish between the various forms of radiation in the environment, particularly between ionising and non-ionising radiation.
A typical radiation woo argument will start by asserting that there are improbably huge numbers of cancers resulting from Chernobyl and from this assert that cellphones, WiFi, and similar devices give you cancer because they also give off radiation. What do you mean nobody could be that stupid? It's the gospel according to Mike "Health Danger" Adams, is what.Natural News on radiation. Tinfoil hat required.
The inability to distinguish between ionising and non-ionising radiation, low-level EMF, microwaves, and radio-frequency communications, and even the different wavelengths of light, leads to the cottage industry around electrosensitivity and eventually to batshit insane devices like the Memoniser.
In an unfortunate and ironic twist, more people are estimated to die of radiation from uranium in the fly ash from coal fired power than in the entire history of the nuclear industry, and the worst single power generation related accident in history, which is estimated to have killed over 170,000 people, was due to the collapse of that tree-hugger's favourite, a hydro-electric dam.

Radionics

Radionics is pseudoscience developed by the quack Albert Abrams (1863 — 1924). Abrams claimed that people all have an innate "frequency vibration" and that disease is caused when the vibration moves from "healthy" to "unhealthy." Radionics claims to be able to use blood, hair, a signature, or other substances unique to the person as a focus in order to reset the unhealthy frequencies to healthy ones.
==The procedure==
The victim of the scam will have their blood placed on a bit of filter paper that is attached to a device called a dynamizer, which is attached by wires to a string of other devices and then to the forehead of a healthy volunteer, facing west in a dim light. By tapping on on his abdomen and searching for areas of "dullness", disease in the donor of the blood is diagnosed by proxy. Handwriting analysis is also used to diagnose disease under this scheme.
Having done this, the practitioner may use a special device known as an oscilloclast or any of a range of other devices to broadcast vibrations at the patient in order to attempt to heal them.
==Mr. Gadget==
Albert Abrams developed thirteen devices claimed to detect such "frequencies" and/or cure people by matching their "frequencies," and claimed that they were sensitive enough that he could tell someone's religion by looking at a drop of blood. He became a millionaire leasing his devices, and the American Medical Association described him as the "dean of gadget quacks," and his devices were definitively proven useless by an independent investigation commissioned by Scientific American in 1924.Questionable Methods of Cancer Management: Electronic Devices by The American Cancer Society, CA Cancer J. Clin. 1994: 44, 115-127.
==My eyes! The goggles do nothing!==
Abrams died during the Scientific American investigations (after being unable to cure himself of pneumonia with his own device), leaving his amassed fortune to the Electronic Medical Foundation (EMF). In 1961, the FDA announced a criminal contempt action against the EMF and its president, Fred J. Hart. The charges were not contested and the organization was dissolved.

Raging Pencils

Raging Pencils (known as The Far Left Side until July 17, 2015) is a liberal web comic drawn by Mike Stanfill, an atheist with new episodes available every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday.
Stanfill's first works were recaptioning/re-ballooning of episodes of The Far Side by Gary Larson with leftist and liberal messages. Eventually, after sufficient copyright threats, he learned to produce computer-generated artwork and now his works are all original, even if his style isn't.
==The good==
He spends QUITE a bit of time tearing apart Republican, conservative, and religious right talking points. As one might imagine, the GOP primary race for the 2012 U.S. Presidential Election gave him no shortage of inspiration.
In addition to his tri-weekly comic, he also keeps readers up to date on the jobs-creation progress of the Republican-held United States House of Representatives (which invariably details them doing anything else but working on job-creation legislation) as well as a daily plea for readers to call their cable and satellite provider and complain to drop Fox News from their lineup.
==The bad==
Sympathetic viewpoints aside, he is generally considered an example of the talentless hackery that so pervades political cartoons. It's almost as laugh-out-loud unfunny as Mallard Fillmore.
Stanfill is also a 9/11 truther with a permanent priapism over the demise of WTC Building 7.

Ragnar Skancke

Ragnar Skancke was one of the three Norwegian fascist National Union (Nasjonal Samling) or N.S. leaders executed after the Second World War for collaborating with German occupation. A professor of electrical engineering at the Technical University of Trondheim who recruited several of his students to join the N.S., Skancke was appointed Minister for Church and Educational Affairs after the 1940 German-supported coup by Vidkun Quisling.
Skancke aroused intense opposition among parents and grade-school teachers by his efforts to transform the teachers into agents of fascist indoctrination, which hilariously backfired when nearly all teachers threatened to go on strike. He aroused similarly intense opposition among university faculty and students by his summary appointments and dismissals of faculty based on their political credentials.
He was both a professor (at the Norwegian Institute of Technology) and a supervisor (at the company Elektrisk Bureau) of electrical engineering.

Rainbow

Rainbows are God's way of frowning at gay people. They are also, if Christian writer Constance Cumbey is to be believed, a secret symbol used by New Agers who put it on their cars to identify each other. (To her credit, when she wrote that, the rainbow flag hadn't yet become popular as a gay symbol — but since when was that an excuse?) They are also Jesse Jackson's favorite political motif.
However, God had other plans for the rainbow. According to creationists, back in 2500 B.C. or thereabouts there was a great flood. After Noah's Ark saved all the animals from extinction, God promised Noah he would never again flood the planet, and he instituted the rainbow as the symbol promising it wouldn't happen again — a reminder to his omniscient self. - "I do set my bow in the cloud, and it shall be for a token of a covenant between me and the earth. And it shall come to pass, when I bring a cloud over the earth, that the bow shall be seen in the cloud: And I will remember my covenant, which is between me and you and every living creature of all flesh; and the waters shall no more become a flood to destroy all flesh. And the bow shall be in the cloud; and I will look upon it, that I may remember the everlasting covenant between God and every living creature of all flesh that is upon the earth. And God said unto Noah, This is the token of the covenant, which I have established between me and all flesh that is upon the earth." You do believe in young earth creationism, don't you?
 use the traditional colors of the rainbow so that those who hate and despise Judeo-Christian divine symbolism can show their contempt by trampling on them with their feet. Attempts by the likes of to desecrate the pretty designBrian Tamaki not ruling out Destiny Church members painting over more rainbow crossings - 27 March 2024: "Church members are angry about drag queens hosting a storytime event inside the library, and Gisborne Council's rainbow pedestrian crossings. [...] So, they painted over it on Monday night." demonstrate the dangers of taking graven images too seriously.
Rainbows are not just diurnal or limited to visible light. Nocturnal rainbows ( produced by the Moon, have been documented since Aristotle and they also extend into the infrared and ultraviolet.Link
