I wish I could be a part of the discussion... however, I will be in class... It's one of my Women's Studies class, so I am here in spirit!
I can't be part of the discussion, either, but I hope someone raises the issue of continuing clinic violence with Ms. Stoez. Just this morning, the front door of the Planned Parenthood clinic in Saint Paul was rammed by a man in a pickup truck: http://tinyurl.com/aluzx9
Sounds like no one was hurt, but I'm continually amazed by the courage of those who work in the front lines on these issues. Hats off to all who protect our reproductive rights.
Here's some happy reproductive rights news for today: The DHHS believes that Obama's order halting new Bush regulations applies to the "conscience" rule!
