pregnancy

In case you thought Kim Kardashian and Kanye West's second child together was all some enormous Illuminati ruse, now some naked proof exists to the contrary.

Kim took to Instagram (as she does) Aug. 11 to post a selfie (as she does) wherein she threw her clothes aside (as she does) in hopes to squash rumors about her faking this most recent pregnancy.

In her own words:

First they say I'm too skinny so I have to be faking it...Now they say I'm too big so I have to be faking it...SMH! Some days I'm photographed before I eat & look smaller, some days I've just eaten & I look bigger. It's all a part of the process. I think you all know me well enough to know I would document the process if I got a surrogate. Everyone's body is different, every pregnancy is very different! I've learned to love my body at every stage! I'm going to get even bigger & that's beautiful too! I'm blessed to even be pregnant & even luckier to not have preeclampsia as far as I know, so I don't have the swelling issue this time! They also say your body carries a boy different than a girl! Whatever the case may be I'm grateful to God for this miracle & no matter what rumors or comments you throw my way this time they truly don't affect me! #NoFilter #NoPhotoShop #GoodLighting 😜

There's no telling whether this violates the same way-too-strict nudity guidelines that have led to the deletion of many photos and a lot of naked protests.

But hey, it happened, and we have a screen shot.

There were plans to have the birth be the first live broadcast of a panda cub being born, but plans were cut when the Chengdu Breeding Research Centre found out the panda was faking it.

"Pandas thought to be pregnant receive 24-hour care, more food, and live in an air-conditioned single room." Wu Kongju, who works at the centre, told Xinhua: "They also receive more buns, fruits and bamboo, so some clever pandas have used this to their advantage to improve their quality of life."

The panda just wanted to live in luxury...

First this:

Indiana Republican Senate candidate Richard Mourdock said Tuesday when a woman is impregnated during a rape, "it's something God intended." Mourdock was asked during the final minutes of a debate whether abortion should be allowed in cases of rape or incest. He replied: "I think even when life begins in that horrible situation of rape, that's something God intended to happen."

Now this:

Despite a statement from the Romney camp refuting Mourdock's words -- "Gov. Romney disagrees with Richard Mourdock's comments, and they do not reflect his views" -- Romney cut an ad for Mourdock that began airing in Indiana on Tuesday.

Some pregnant women are smug, some aren't, and some are totally awesome and paint Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles' Krang right on their bellies.

Missouri Senate candidate -- and world-renowned pregnancy expert -- Todd Akin:

First of all, from what I understand from doctors (pregnancy from rape) is really rare. If it's a legitimate rape, the female body has ways to try to shut that whole thing down.

That's all.
