Elections approach

Given all the ant-women laws being pushed through by the republicans, I can't understand why ANY  woman would vote for them.

I wanna be a cowgirl

I really love the clothes in this Dale Evans paper doll kit.

When I was 21 years old, I began my first adult relationship. The year was 1976. I thought I was doing the responsible thing by approaching my family doctor for birth control. He refused to prescribe birth control for me because he didn't think I should be using it "just to have a good time". Shamed and humiliated, I went to Planned Parenthood. They were warm, welcoming and thorough with their information.

I support Planned Parenthood.

And just across the border

Idaho state Sen. Chuck Winder, R-Boise, and his allies in the Legislature are sponsoring legislation that would force women to undergo an "obstetric ultrasound" before obtaining an abortion. Welcome, Senator, to the war on women.

You can leave a message for Mr. Winder at:  https://www.facebook.com/pages/Chuck-Winder-for-Idaho/325513093313

If you think the bill is an affront, go to http://www.facebook.com/UniteWomen

Ninja and read all about it!

I like this embroderied tunic. Pairing it with black tights and pointy little flats was simple but effective.

I thought this little cropped sweater was jazzy too. Pop on over to Not Dead Yet Style :http://notdeadyetstyle.blogspot.com/2012/03/visible-monday-37-go-to-knit-dress-for.html

EXTRA, EXTRA, READ ABOUT IT!

After the Rush Limbaugh incident, I started looking at political stuff and was terrified to discover some of the things that have been happening. If you believe women should be able to have control over their own bodies, please, please check this out and spread the word.  http://www.facebook.com/UniteWomen

Don't just stand there, do something

 

 I was stunned by Rush Limbaugh's ignorant attack on Sandra Fluke regarding insurance coverage for birth control.  A brief excerpt:

 So, Ms. Fluke and the rest of you feminazis, here's the deal. If we are going to pay for your contraceptives, and thus pay for you to have sex, we want something for it, and I'll tell you what it is. We want you to post the videos online so we can all watch.^{[21]  from Wikipedia}


It made me look at some of the comments regarding the Republican party and their stand on Women's rights. IT IS SCARY!!

Top 10 Shocking Attacks from the GOP's War on Women

1) Republicans not only want to reduce women's access to abortion care, they're actually trying to redefine rape. After a major backlash, they promised to stop. But they haven't yet. Shocker.
2) A state legislator in Georgia wants to change the legal term for victims of rape, stalking, and domestic violence to "accuser." But victims of other less gendered crimes, like burglary, would remain "victims."
3) In South Dakota, Republicans proposed a bill that could make it legal to murder a doctor who provides abortion care. (Yep, for real.)
4) Republicans want to cut nearly a billion dollars of food and other aid to low-income pregnant women, mothers, babies, and kids.
5) In Congress, Republicans have a bill that would let hospitals allow a woman to die rather than perform an abortion necessary to save her life.
6) Maryland Republicans ended all county money for a low-income kids' preschool program. Why? No need, they said. Women should really be home with the kids, not out working.
7) And at the federal level, Republicans want to cut that same program, Head Start, by $1 billion. That means over 200,000 kids could lose their spots in preschool.
8) Two-thirds of the elderly poor are women, and Republicans are taking aim at them too. A spending bill would cut funding for employment services, meals, and housing for senior citizens.
9) Congress just voted for a Republican amendment to cut all federal funding from Planned Parenthood health centers, one of the most trusted providers of basic health care and family planning in our country.
10) And if that wasn't enough, Republicans are pushing to eliminate all funds for the only federal family planning program. (For humans. But Republican Dan Burton has a bill to provide contraception for wild horses. You can't make this stuff up).
