Let's hear it for the brave men who fought to make abortion legal
Advertisements [?]
I remember those times, and there were a lot of them at the forefront to repeal the old laws. Some names that come to mind from the early days: Bill Baird, Rev. Raymond Moody and Paul Krasner. All the doctors that have been shot and killed by anti-abortion fanatics have been men. An old friend of my named John Kittridge was a clinic escort, a very brave act.

We're going to need guys like this in the future, so let's not trash all men because of this lunacy going on right now. I've talked to a lot of men, including my 85 year old dad, who are freaked out and disgusted about the possiblity of Roe v. Wade being overturned. And I've met a lot of horrible anti-choice women whose attitude toward other women on this topic is merciless.
