Celebrating Int'l Women's Day with A Ban On Abortion



In desperate need of offspring? Go rape a woman in South Dakota, where Governor Rounds just signed in a practical all-out ban on abortion - including cases of rape or incest.

Beginning later this year, any doctor who provides an abortion in South Dakota will be given a prison sentence of five years.



You know what's even scarier? For the pro-life groups, this is the beginning of a new crusade against women's rights - to overturn Roe v. Wade completely. And with our newly appointed Supreme Court justices, that might not be such a stretch.

Read the full CNN Article - or for a taste of world response, see this SFGate.com post which proves quite interesting.

Want to do more than simply sit back and laugh at "Every Sperm Is Sacred" parodies?

First off, sign the Online Petition for Pro-Choice America.

Got the activist in you all warmed up? Good. Now go join SaveRoe.com's Photo Petition. Don't forget to smile look angry!

Glad to see I've got you going. Do you find cartoons involving clothes hangers less than humourous?

Planned Parenthood has declared today, March 9th, "National Day of Solidarity with South Dakota." Find out what's going on near you, and what else you can do to get involved!

Now that you've completed your social duty for the day, feel free to rant to others about the hypocracies of the "compassionate conservatives" - whether in written, verbal, or cartoon form!



Glad to see my country taking another step backwards.

What a way to ring in March 8th, International Women's Day.
