But why not do both at the same time? Click this link: https://secure.ga3.org/02/Muzzle_the_DOJ (I can't make a cute embedded link... Sign in to see full entry.

A serious women's health issue: college-aged smokers

Right on, Senator Binder!
Yesterday the Arizona State Senate approved an "informed consent" bill that would require women to wait twenty-four hours between seeing a doctor and getting an abortion. As you know, with abortion providers so few and far between in some places, this is a big burden on women with low incomes, who... Sign in to see full entry.

If they really cared about protecting women....
.... they would enforce the laws against battery, rape and drunk driving already on the books. They would not be hiding their anti-abortion agenda behind the "Unborn Victims of Violence Act," the sole purpose of which is to undermine the legal basis of Roe v. Wade.

Update on pharmacists who refused to fill an EC perscription
Thanks to Worry Wort for posting this to her blog. I didn't have these details when I wrote about EC a few days ago. Three idiot pharmacists who worked for Eckerd in Denton, Texas did not bother to learn anything about emergency contraceptive pills. They just assumed the pills caused abortion and...
