If South Dakotans support the law, it will create a direct challenge to the Roe v. Wade decision and send it on a course to the Supreme Court where the balance in favor of Roe now teeters by one pro-choice vote.

It's most recent has been inspired by the FDA's apparent willingness to re-reconsider the emergency contraception over-the-counter (OTC) application, this time only for women 18 and older. http://www.prochoicemovement.com/2006/08/tony-pervkins.htmlCristina Pagehttp://www.blogger.com/feeds/21582956/posts/summary/115405466058645854Fri, 28 Jul 2006 02:41:00 +00002006-07-27T22:50:57.820-04:00Senator Clinton, arguing against the "Child Custody Protection Act" (or The Teen Endangerment Act), yesterday offered a brief break from all the "pro-life" distortions with an eloquent reality-based speech from the Senate floor.

The Associated Press reports that the Missouri state legislature "voted 96-59 to delete the funding for contraception" at local health clinics "after Rep. Susan Phillips told lawmakers that anti-abortion groups such as Missouri Right to Life were opposed to the spending."http://www.prochoicemovement.com/2006/03/show-me-state-shows-pro-lifers-true.htmlCristina Pagehttp://www.blogger.com/feeds/21582956/posts/summary/114598787335104350Tue, 25 Apr 2006 17:54:00 +00002006-06-08T01:02:00.723-04:00Please check out my debate with rabidly (though typical for a professional pro-lifer) anti-contraception, anti-child-care, anti-working mother, pro-life activist Jennifer Roback Morse. In her review of my book she challenged me to a debate. I happily took her up on the offer.

Most interesting in their call to action is that they place blame for the high rates of abortion squarely at the feet of our nation's pro-life groups and their campaigns against the proven abortion reduction http://www.prochoicemovement.com/2006/04/another-sensible-common-ground-plea.htmlCristina Pagehttp://www.blogger.com/feeds/21582956/posts/summary/114251999332085886Thu, 16 Mar 2006 14:20:00 +00002006-03-18T01:24:41.886-05:00Wisconsin Attorney General Peg Lautenschlager joined the lawsuit filed by the Center for Reproductive Rights against the FDA. Lautenschlager charges that the FDA's ideologically-based decision to keep emergency contraception from becoming available over the counter has resulted in many otherwise preventable unintended pregnancies and has driven up costs to the state to care for births to teen http://www.prochoicemovement.com/2006/03/wisconsin-sues-fda-for-role-in-causing.htmlCristina Pagehttp://www.blogger.com/feeds/21582956/posts/summary/114022491506486090Sat, 18 Feb 2006 01:05:00 +00002006-03-18T01:21:01.343-05:00Check out recent reviews of my book by Alternet and Planned Parenthood Federation of Americahttp://www.prochoicemovement.com/2006/02/recent-reviews-of-my-book.htmlCristina Pagehttp://www.blogger.com/feeds/21582956/posts/summary/114239641002069689Wed, 15 Mar 2006 04:08:00 +00002006-03-14T23:27:21.960-05:00Knight Ridder newspapers report on recently released documents that indicate that politics, not science, caused the FDA rejected the over-the-counter application of Plan B emergency contraception. Every medical and scientific evaluation favored the proposal.

Other studies of these laws found that they do succeed at something else: a dramatic increase in the number of late term abortions. It should be alarming to honest pro-lifers to find that the organizations they have happily sent donations http://www.prochoicemovement.com/2006/03/what-if-there-were-no-pro-life.htmlCristina Pagehttp://www.blogger.com/feeds/21582956/posts/summary/114239336326973225Wed, 15 Mar 2006 03:08:00 +00002006-03-14T22:54:03.133-05:00With the new ban on abortion in South Dakota, many have wondered what the state legislators were really thinking by banning abortion in cases of rape, incest and even to protect a woman's health. When asked by a PBS reporter if there was ever a case in which he could imagine granting a woman the right to a legal abortion, South Dakota legislator Bill DiNapoli described one circumstance quite http://www.prochoicemovement.com/2006/03/if-you-are-going-to-get-raped-in-south.htmlCristina Pagehttp://www.blogger.com/feeds/21582956/posts/summary/114084093523971692Sat, 25 Feb 2006 04:14:00 +00002006-02-26T13:57:41.013-05:00South Dakota is not the state we, as a nation, look to for cutting-edge ideas. And yet, lawmakers in South Dakota are setting out to transform our nation. By banning abortion in their state, as they did Thursday (pending the Governor's stamp that looks likely), South Dakota has produced a direct challenge the Roe v.

It was a throw away line, a wink to his religious right base. In fact, what he did was take credit for the results of another president's policies, policies profoundly different from his own.

Of course not. Just opening the book to the title page and seeing, "How the Pro-Choice Movement Saved America," was liberating and defiant. (Warning to Joe Biden and other spineless Democrats.

The anti-contraception group, Population Research Institute, based in Front Royal, Virginia, leads smear campaigns against relief agencies, like UNFPA, that provide emergency maternity services and family planning care in the most war torn and http://www.prochoicemovement.com/2006/02/bush-executes-us-pro-lifers_18.htmlCristina Page
