Today is the 37th anniversary of Roe vs. Wade, the landmark Supreme Court case that secured abortion rights for women in the United States. Sally already wrote a great post about this year’s theme, “Trust Women.” Jos over at Feministing has also written about what “Trust Women” means for her, especially in light of Dr. [...]

Hey hey, it’s Blog for Choice Day! Each year, they pose a question to spark the dialogue. Last year it was about our hopes for the Obama administration. This year’s question, in honor of Dr. Tiller, is: What does Trust Women mean to you? As I was trying to come up with my response to [...]

Today is the 36th anniversary of Roe vs. Wade, and that means it’s also Blog for Choice Day. Unlike last year (and more like myself), I have little interest in the theme, pro-choice hopes for Barack Obama and the new Congress. I’ve decided that I want to write about something else. I want to write [...]

Nice! Mac of Pesky Apostrophe is hosting a fundraiser for Medical Students for Choice: After Roe v. Wade, hospitals stopped seeing a lot of injuries and deaths from illegal abortions and eventually most hospitals stopped performing them.

Wrapping Up Blogging for Choice
I am officially exhausted. I’ve pretty much spent all day (and most of last night) scouring the internets for good pro-choice articles and blog posts (plus writing my own). A lot of what I’ve found is up at Alternet — I hope you’ll check it out, because there is a wealth of pro-choice goodness (more [...]

Blogging for Choice: 10 Reasons to Support Reproductive Justice on Roe Day

We’re getting a bit more traffic in the post-YearlyKos blog-frenzy, so now is probably a good time to put up some decent posts. Unfortunately, I’m totally crazed right now — finishing my last week of work, moving, and then leaving for Hamburg/Italy/Hamburg again in less than a week. Plus I’m spending about nine hours a [...]
