Today is a very sad day to be a woman in America.
1) Salon reported a really shocking and horrific story about the lives of pregnant women in America today:
"...what the pregnancy manuals don't mention is a chilling fact that has been buried in death statistics for many years: Murder is now believed to be responsible for more pregnancy-associated deaths in this country than any other single cause, including medical complications such as embolism or hemorrhaging."
2) The Supreme Court reversed previous opinion today and made it perfectly legal for anti-abortion protestors to "interfere with abortion clinic business" i.e. to protest in such a manner that women are unable to access the services they need.
That's just about all I can take. I even wrote my mom a letter and begged her to get her suburban girlfriends asses in gear for battle. Surely there's someone out there with some ideas about how to confront this assault on women...I'm just not sure where to look.
