Margaret Sanger is Rolling In Her Grave!

The battle for the hearts, minds and bodies of America's women is heating up. The Serena Joys of America are wielding the cattle prods of anti-women legislation, primarily in their own states, and things are definitely getting ugly.

The smoke is clearing from the presidential campaign and while Bush and Kerry have been busy beating their chests about who is the biggest and best terrorist-killer, Julee Lacey in Fort Worth, Texas has begun to realize that religious fundamentalists have infiltrated her local pharmacy and are permitted by law to deny her access to birth control pills because contraception goes against their religious beliefs.

Lacey rightly pointed out that, "Their job is not to regulate what people take or do. It's just to fill the prescription that was ordered by my physician."

Unfortunately, women have not been energized, myself included, or compelled to keep up with the rapid increase in Bush based anti-women, children and minority laws, legal rulings and federal interferences that now threaten to either change or eliminate basic civil rights for over half of the population in America. NOW has a pretty good punch list of the damage done at the state and local levels and it's a no-brainer to image future damage once Bush begins to replace current Supreme Court judges with his picks.

If I had any residual doubt that Reagan, Bush I and now Bush II have knowingly and actively enfranchised conservative religious zealots and disenfranchised the moderate and liberal element of American life, it's gone. I have to get actively involved in the women's movement and not sit back when a battle is won and watch us lose the entire war.
