Single What? Female...

Let's the start the week off better...

Last week, there was a deluge over the weekend and rain that lasted nearly all week, a shooting on the Virginia Tech campus, some of the worst violence in Iraq since the start of that whole mess, and the Supreme Court essentially slapped women in the face as they allowed the Federal Abortion Ban to stand.

This week: the sun is out, classes are resuming at VT today, the Red Sox swept the Yankees in a three game series at Fenway for the first time since 1990, and even former GOP supporters of Gonzales are calling for his resignation.

I figured a change had to happen after last week's blackness. But there is still so much change that has to happen. There's a lot of nagging that has to start, and NOW.

After the Supreme Court ruling, Senator Barbara Boxer, Representative Jerrold Nadler and others decided to reintroduce the Freedom of Choice Act. It is a sin and a shame that this needs to be reintroduced, but after last week's nonsense (including a truly demeaning decision written by Justice Kennedy), if this right is to be upheld, it needs to be done...and supported. NARAL, NOW, Planned Parenthood and other groups are all taking up donations to push this along, so GIVE. And/or at least NAG YOUR CONGRESSFOLK and let them know that YOU ARE PAYING ATTENTION and will not let "Scalito" and the rest of that conservative posse chip away at your right to a safe and legal abortion.

As I have said before, it is not a choice I can imagine any woman wants to make, but if it must be made, they should be able to have a LEGAL and SAFE procedure.

It is truly disturbing that I have to write this post at all.

Particularly on such a GORGEOUS day.

KEEP E-MAILING FOLKS!

Peace --Alex
