This year's
Blog for Choice day theme is
Trust Women. Look, I get furious, fast, that safe and accessible reproductive health care is not available to Americans, so, when someone asks me, "What does
Trust Women mean to you?" my answer is
What kind of effing a-hole doesn't believe women should be trusted to make their own GD choices about her own body? I suppose rage and fury aren't exactly the most useful techniques for battling ignorance and prejudice, but that's how I feel. The alternative to safe and accessible reproductive health is not
no abortion, it's
unsafe abortions.
Honor women, honor her choices.

Oh yes! Great post, concise and to the GD point!
Wooooorrrrrddd.
As musical accompaniment, I recommend taking a minute to remember (or give a listen) to the Digable Planets "La Femme Fetal":
"but the feds have dissed me
they ignore and dismiss
and the pro-lifers harrass me outside the clinic
and call me a murderer, now that's hate...
the fascists are some heavy dudes
they don't really give a damn about life
they just don't want a woman to
control her body or have the right to choose
but baby that ain't nothin
they just want a male finger on the button
because if you say war they will send them to die by the score...
but if souter and thomas have their way
you'll be standing in line unable to get welfare while they're out
hunting and fishing
it has always been around it will always have a niche
but they'll make it a privelege not a right
accessible only to the rich
pro-lifers should dig themselves
cause life doesn't stop after birth
and to a child borne to the unprepared
it might even just get worse..."
Nice job stirring things up here.
