Will Women Go Out of State?

SB 139 is going to haunt the low-income women who have complicated pregnancies in Oklahoma. We worked so hard to stop this bill from becoming law in the form of SB 714 but were unsuccessful when it became SB 139. The bill flew through the House and Senate in three days. The bill passed without the signature of Governor Henry and desperatly needs amendments for the sake of women's health in our state.

Jennifer Mock with the Daily Oklahoman wrote this article on the possible implications of this terrible bill.

Bravo CNN!

If you didn't get a chance to watch the CNN/You Tube Democratic Presidential Debate, you missed a heck of a good show. Eight candidates were asked questions, via a You Tube video, from normal (some not so normal) concerned citizens. It was fascinating to see the video's as well as hear the responses from candidates.

To see highlights go to www.cnn.com!

Well worth the hour...

Opinion Article from the Kansas City Star

Received this opinion article the other day. It is thought provoking and terrifying as we face a continous battle to protect the reproductive rights.

Check out this story...

Pro-lifers, progressives miss rendezvous in D.C.There's common ground on which both progressives and conservative pro-life Democrats can agree _ the common ground of electoral self-interest. But is there any ideological accord?http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/19317637/from/ET/
