Women's rights issues

[nico1908]

My knowledge on this issue is not the most up-to-date one, mainly because reading about it upsets me to the point that I want to commit horrible acts of violence against all those Bible-toting and other idiots who keep undermining a woman's right to choose. 

However, occasionally I come across an enlightened piece of information such as this one, which explains why the right to abortion is a First Amendment (Religious Freedom) issue. Well worth the read! I found this particular Website when googling "keep abortion legal" after I read a deeply unsettling report by Amnesty International about sexual violence against American Indian and Native Alaskan women. I had found the link to this report in a brief article about Pretty Bird Woman House, a shelter for abused women on the Standing Rock Sioux Reservation (linked via

nativeamerican).

Very interesting POV on abortion in that article. I would have even liked it better, if they hadn`t repeated all their (often very good) arguments at least twice or three times...Thanks for pointing it out nonetheless.

I agree on the repretitiveness. They were trying a bit too hard to hammer it in. But as long as the message sticks... LOL
