Couldn’t say it better

This link is an article by Kate Michelman and Frances Kissling.
The illustration with the article shows a woman in flight after being bucked off by a donkey.  I know a lot of feminists who believed this day would never come – they had worked so hard for a woman’s right to choose, they were happy in [...]

What the f*&%$(*#

Okay, I realized that we turned back the clocks last weekend, but the Democrats just pushed the clock back on Women’s Rights last night with the “sweeping Health Bill” passing in the House allowing an amendment that restricts abortion access for subsidised insurance plans (like all of them).  So I cannot purchase an insurance plan [...]

Earth – our home, our very life – what we do
So – this Friday, October 9, 2009, we are telling a rocket that we have in orbit around the moon to crash into the surface.  Why?  We want to measure the gases on the [...]
