March for Women

Hello MARCH...You could not have come soon enough!! It's women's history month...time to celebrate all that we are!

Is America's "war on terror" terrorising our own citizens?

She is the wife of a US soldier. Her house was broken into last Saturday night. She was beaten, raped and basically left to die. She was alone that night, on that army base in Georgia.

This is a tragic, awful, disgusting, nauseating and true story. And I just can't help but think...she could have been one of my friends..she could have been me..she could have been you.

As American citizens we must fight a war on our soil; to end violence against women, including those of a military lifestyle.

Will this woman's story make the local papers in Georgia? Will this incident be investigated? Hopefully...but probably not. In my head every soldier on that base should be under an investigation, to catch the bastard(s) who did that to her.

But like many other military rapes/beatings of men and women, nothing may happen to the aggressors.
True justice for victims of military assault may never be served.

Women get an inch..the government takes a mile

After much struggle women finally made some headway with the arrival of the long awaited Plan B to be sold over the counter.

However, now it seems like the FDA has other plans for the Women's Health Office funds.

Oh yeah..apparently some people weren't too happy with Plan B being sold over the counter, so they decided to cut the Women's Health Office funds from 4 million down to 2.8 mil. Thanks a lot.

Ha Ha--Tick Tock goes the Cock Clock

Apparently it's not just women who may feel the pressure of time on their reproductive organs. Recent research claims that men may start feeling their biological clocks ticking, if they want to procreate "normal" offspring.

For once men might just know the wrath of biological determinism.

Women's History Month is just around the corner...

Score one for Mother Earth

So Al Gore won an Oscar for The Inconvenient Truth. Maybe that means people will actually start trying to stop global warming?...Probably not. But at least good old Al won something for once.

PP goes Wireless

Planned Parenthood is doing big things. They've gone wireless. Now you can get a cell phone through your gyno and for a good cause.
