You are right again - the devil is in the details. Even if politicians are unable to get Roe v Wade overturned in the Supreme Court, there are countless other ways that conservatives who believe it is their place to make a woman's personal decisions, can restrict access to important health services. Mandating abstinence-only sex education is one of these ways. Cutting funding for free birth control to women who cannot otherwise afford it is another. Putting research that specifically targets women's health issues on the back-burner is a third. These politicians just don't seem to believe or understand that a woman's health predicts her family's health, which predicts the health of our communities in general. When representatives vote for legislation that ultimately erodes a woman's power, freedom and well-being, they are inherently crippling society for generations to come. (See what your professors think about that radically feminist statement!)

Phew! Mr Awesome Russ Feingold sure is awesome, isn't he? I'm glad you are sticking up for our midwestern politicians.

Thanks again for all your comments!
