Politics (that Bush health care bill - go sign a petition already)

Ok, I absolutely believe that access to reproductive health services is the main reason that women are in a better financial and social position now than four decades ago.  That's why everyone should go fill out one of the many online forms that will let you protest this piece of **** idea that's getting discussed throughout my flist (that Bush conscience and abortion thing): PDF of the text of this proposed change to funding requirements for health  care providers

Planned Parenthood has a letter form on their main page.  Go write in it here.

My life as I currently live it would be impossible without access to birth control.  I couldn't be a married heterosexually active woman and maintain a job and choose not to have children if I didn't have access to birth control.
So legislation that makes it easier for other people to deny me access to birth control is legislation that makes it harder for me to choose a married heterosexually active life that also includes a career but does not include children.  It's just that simple.
