moominmuppetSince I'm so belated, I'm going to start with some links to other Blog for Choice entries worth reading:
Posts from Others:
So, no, I don’t trust women to always make the right choice or the best choice. And one consequence of that is that I sure as hell don’t trust any other woman (or man) to make the best decision for me about my body.
Via Broadsheet, we find that Physicians for Reproductive Choice and Health have revealed never-seen-before video clips of the late Dr. George Tiller explaining why he is an abortion provider. On the 37th Anniversary of Roe v. Wade and the first day of opening statements on the murder trial of Dr. Tiller's assassination, we wanted to share.
My relationship to abortion has changed since Dr. Tiller's assassination. And so has my relationship to Dr. Tiller's words, "Trust Women," the theme of this year's Blog for Choice Day.
Posts from Me:
On of my own posts from right after Dr. Tiller's assassination, with numerous links and the dangers of taking a "lone wolf" view of clinic terrorism and yet more related links and articles
My "reproductive rights" tagged entries -- many of these, especially recently, have to do with abortion access and rights.
I'm still struggling over exactly what I want to write. So much about so many elements of this issue gets me riled, and it's hard to focus. Mostly, though, I've been thinking about issues of bodily integrity as they apply to abortion and to pregnancy.
On court-ordered interventions and how "fetal personhood" affects pregnant women's right
This isn't just theoretical stuff. This is affecting women now. If the laws continuing moving in this direction, it can only lead to women having less autonomy about decisions in childbearing, as well as abortion.
The Angela Carder case is a "worst-case scenario" of what this looks like
And my recent post with links to several other chilling cases

??? Because WHAT THE FUCKING FUCK IS THAT. "The woman is an incubator, owned by the state of Florida." Holy shit. Also there's some great references to other cases at the bottom of the article.
