A Special Blog for Choice
Today marks the 36th anniversary of the Roe v. Wade decision. In response, NARAL has asked that bloggers dedicate a blog to choice today.
I think it’s a great idea to get work out in the blogosphere. Not only is it the 36th anniversary of a very important legal decision that drastically affected women’s lives, it is also 2 days after Barack Obama has become our President. In addition to the historic election of an African-American, the departure of George Bush, and the exciting prospect of having a progressive president in the White House, it is also important to say that it’s an incredible change for good to have a President on the side of women’s reproductive rights.
Though an executive order has not YET been secured, I have been hearing word that Obama will soon reverse the Bush “Mexico City” policy of banning government aid to ANY international orgs that even *mention* the word “abortion.” This has drastically affected women who need health care and family planning the most. In addition, I hope President Obama will reverse what Bush has done to birth control.
*if you have beliefs that result in your inability to perform your duties as a doctor, pharmacist, medical staff, etc, then YOU NEED TO FIND A NEW JOB. the patient must NOT pay for that.
