Last month’s rejects were dominated by cartoons about the prenatal care controversy, so I threw in some extras.
I still can’t believe that’s blown over so quickly. Unborn babies are denied medical care here because there mothers are Mexicans, and this wannabe “pro-life” state has just moved on. Nebraska Right to Life has already punished Governor Heineman by giving him their endorsement. Makes me sick.

Discovered your blog tonight and really enjoyed your “rejects”. Love your sense of humor. I’ll be a frequent visitor.
Boo to #12. But 11-1 Rocked. It’s sad that the LJS wouldn’t print these.
Hard to pick a favorite, but #5 reflects what I’ve been thinking ever since I heard Julie Smug-Albin baying at the moon on KLIN about the absolute unmitigated gall of Ben Nelson agreeing to abortion language without her approval.
The rest are great, too. #1 & #4 are classic.
