Bah! The very same "boys" that we women allow to pass through our gates into this world to begin with! We should strike... just a huge international womans walk out! I mean really enough already. we the women of the world must no longer consent to this testeorone ruled palnet of war, rape and degradation! They wont stop it! Men will continue the control unless we take drastic measures! a small start would be to set a time and date and women just leave whatever it is that they are doing at the moment and march in the streets together!!!!Power in numbers!!!Show them what were made of and how much we actually run in this world already! BE BRAVE ALMIGHTY WOMAN.... seriously i day dream about this action often. *note to marytracy9 and ironmaiden: Sisters You have seen a feminist in real life....she is the woman you saw last and the one you will see next....All women are feminist whether they agree publicly or not! also to be reached one must be reachable...to close the distance become closer to those you feel you need to connect with. to stop isolation take action and become open...after all womanhood and feminism are about being and becoming.... its absolutly disgustingly sick to think that a woman should need permission from a man about anything! especially abortion!

Okay, I'm way shaky on American jurisprudence - being Canadian and us no longer having any abortion laws - but wasn't there a case exactly about paternal consent that SCOTUS already overturned? (Or, actually, she'd had the abortion by the time they'd decided or something...) Unclear. What we need is to figure out how to mass produce RU486 and pass it out in Ohio. “For some reason the idea of having to get a man’s permission for your abortion is even more disturbing to me than a blanket anti-abortion policy.”

'Cause I'm sure the state is going to make damn sure he'll not only pay child support, but take care of his own kid. Is that what they think will make it all better? Child support money? What if the mom wants to go back to (or finish) school, or works long hours? Do they think decent day care and baby sitters are running abundant? If a man is that desparate to have a child, get a someone to be a surrogate mom before you knock her up. On Ohio-

My favorite was when they "accidentally broke" these two garden statues that my grandma had of frisking frogs with giant penises. I can't say that I thought it was much of a loss though.

I got my undergrad degree in CoMo, and that very Planned Parenthood was my very first PP visit ever. Sniff. And a really cool woman from the Triangle Coalition at the university worked there and made me feel completely comfortable. All I have to add is a huge sigh of sorrow.

They're such Philistines they don't even have fried chicken on the menu at Hardee's. And when you pick up your rental car at the Springfield airport, the locals will give you the royal stink-eye if they hear you refer to it as "The Blow-Me State". (Don't ask me how I know this.) This from me, who currently resides in Ohio. I'm ashamed of our legislators. Passing through Missouri can be uncomfortable.
