My new favorite website for all kinds of feministy choice-y fun, I discovered the coolest anti-choice backlash I have yet to see. Her response to the Uterus Police? Minnesota Council...

Sunday, March 6, 2011. Welcome to the neighborhood. Hello, Blog for Choice readers! There's a new Voice for Choice in town.

Minnesota Blog for Choice: Open Letter to Senator Limmer
http://minnesotablogforchoice.blogspot.com/2011/03/open-letter-to-senator-limmer.html
Tuesday, March 8, 2011. Open Letter to Senator Limmer. Dear Senator Limmer,. I know that we Minnesotans are proud of our agricultural heritage, but I must remind you that 2 percent is how we talk about milk, not women. As a woman and as a mother, I do worry. A lot. It’s what we do. And when I read about women, and their lives, dismissed in such a way, I worry that you don’t understand what is at stake. Note: Only a member of this blog may post a comment.

Friday, May 28, 2010. Thank Majority Leader Reid for standing up against clinic violence!

Minnesota Blog for Choice: GOP finds common ground on the Floor
http://minnesotablogforchoice.blogspot.com/2011/03/gop-finds-common-ground-on-floor.html
Monday, March 14, 2011. GOP finds common ground on the Floor. Not all Republicans are anti-choice. Not all Democrats are pro-choice, either. Reproductive rights are at once both everyone's issue and no one's but the individual. Abortion should be legal, safe, rare and nobody's business but the woman and whoever (if anyone) she chooses. It is NOT TOO LATE to contact your representatives. And let them know you choose choice and feel they should choose to protect it. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).
