So much for the city of sisterly love.

Philadelphia is no longer officially a "pro-choice city."

By a vote of 13-4 today, City Council rescinded last week's symbolic declaration making Philadelphia a "pro-choice" city that supported "women's reproductive rights and freedom" and defended "the right to choose a legal and safe abortion as a final but critical option for women."

Sigh.

that truly sucks.

there is some good news in voting: the massachusetts legislature voted 151-45 to keep the anti-gay marriage constitutional amendment off the ballot.
