Our government should provide the highest standard of care to women who have volunteered to serve our country. Federal law, however, does little to protect the reproductive rights of servicewomen. Why are servicewomen being denied birth control?
Not only are the 350,000 women (almost 15 percent of all active-duty personnel) banned from accessing abortion care at [...]
I ended up writing such a long reply to a question posed on a previous post that I’m posting it as well.
Vance from Meditations on an Eyeball asked:

According to the Christian Newswire, Human Life International has opened up a new website that claims to expose the “Real Source of Violence” in the abortion debate. Guess who they claim is responsible for the violence?

Our conversations are never easy, but as I — we — get older, we are all finding that our conversations must [...]
We can’t give you that cancer-fighting chemotherapy. It would endanger the pre-fetus. You’ll just have to die and make room for more efficient femfactory production units.
The pre-pregnant. The pre-pregnant?
Well, if all women of reproductive age should consider themselves pre-pregnant, then I guess there will have to be a resurrection of real sex education and easily [...]
I don’t think I had ever seen South Dakota’s State Senator Bill Napoli speak before tonight. He was commenting on the abortion ban there that would close down - gulp - the only operating clinic that’s left in the entire state (this one clinic has to fly in medical volunteers from out-of-state). Guess there wasn’t [...]
