What's going on in the courts?

This book is important because of the court appointments being made by Bush right now. See the planned parenthood page on these very sexist candidates Bush is proposing for court seats. Remember that many of our supreme court justices are very close to stepping down. If he were to repeat this practice in the Supreme Court, what could this mean for women. Remember, we are not just talking about the right to abort, but about a woman's right to determine her future. There is so much tied up in reproductive rights and so much that we have gained once the men lost the right to keep us barefoot and pregnant.

Now I shy from supporting planned parenthood in my posts because I think the right has done a great job of muddying the message they try to send and that is that a woman has a choice in her destiny, and all that implies. The right has made us believe they simply perform abortions, they talk women into abortions and they promote sexual promiscuity. Well, PP is run by humans, and because of that, I'm sure that in a few offices, you will hear these messages. In reality, the organization is providing reproductive freedom. The organization is able to do as much to teach a woman about *all* of her choices as to just provide abortions.

They do their homework on the law and they are a good source of the information I need for this novel.
