As GLBT rights are on the ascendant women's rights are headed in the opposite direction

Abortion rights are one of the most fundamental rights for women. Really. I'm thrilled that civil rights for GLBT folks are expanding, but I'm alarmed that one of the most fundamental rights for women in this country is evaporating before our eyes.

We truly have reached a two Americas point regarding a woman's right to control her own body as more and more states have made a woman's constitutional right to control her own body, hollow.

we were there for civil rights in the 60's and have supported all civil rights in between but our own rights are being stolen as we speak. We need to address it even if it makes some people uncomfortable. Enough!!!
