		<description><![CDATA[When people say &#8220;choice&#8221; the first thing we tend to think of is abortions. Me, I&#8217;m never going to get an abortion &#8212; unless the universe really hates me, that is. You see, when I was 23 I got my tubes tied so, unless I&#8217;m one of those less than 1% of women whose body [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[My dad loves, and I mean loves, to talk about how the pill is what enabled women to become equal. He talks about it as if it&#8217;s the end-all-be-all of contraceptive and that something like women having a pill that they can take to prevent pregnancy was the deciding moment in the struggle for equality.

		<description><![CDATA[
Is the vocabulary to properly talk about our own bodies too sophisticated a topic for children to be introduced to as early as kindergarten? Bill O&#8217;Reilly seems to think so, at least in regard to the word &#8220;uterus&#8221;, which apparently the mere knowledge that a woman has one is enough to &#8220;blast&#8221; a child out [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Australia&#8217;s Federal Health Minister, Tony Abbott, is one of my least favourite people. He&#8217;s been on an anti-abortion kick for the last few years, and the recent jewel in his attack is a government-funded pregnancy counselling hotline which allegedly aims to help women make informed choices.
This doesn&#8217;t sound like a bad idea, right? A big [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[So, January 22 was Blog for Choice Day, and aside from a slight gripe about the US-centrism of the choice of date (the anniversary of Roe v. Wade), talking about the importance of reproductive freedom is, well, important. And there&#8217;s a bunch of excellent posts that were made.
And hey, I&#8217;ve never been good with dates [...]]]></description>

It's been a while since I've heard good news on the reproductive rights front - it's been abortion bans and "conscience clauses" for so long.

Yesterday the New York Court of Appeals issued a decision in <a href="http://www.nycourts.gov/ctapps/decisions/oct06/110opn06.pdf"><i>Catholic Charities of the Diocese of Albany v. Serio</i></a> upholding a provision of the Women's Health and Wellness Act which requires all but a narrowly defined category of religious institutions to provide insurance coverage for contraception if they provide prescription drug coverage.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In a move that is surprisingly good, Glamour has published an extensive and well written article that covers the governmental assault on women&#8217;s health. From the FDA to government funded abstinence only ed, the article is a long read, but well worth it.
An excerpt:
&#8220;Abstinence is a laudable goal,&#8221; says Deborah Arrindell, vice president of health [...]]]></description>

So, I was driving home today and I was behind a van with a bunch of bumperstickers. The ones that caught my eye were, the yellow &#8220;Support our Soldiers&#8221; ribbon with &#8220;Support Pres.
