With the resignation of Supreme Court Justice Sandra Day O'Connor, the constitutional right to abortion is in extreme danger. There's no better time to take a stand and demand our leaders ensure American women continued access to abortion and birth control. "Speak Out: I Had an Abortion!" is an oral history of women, ages 20-86, telling their personal stories of their abortions. Gloria Steinem, one of the women interviewed in the film, sums it up pretty well, "The counter to the anti-abortion movement is exactly what we're doing. It's women telling the truth and speaking out about their experiences."For a review Eleanor Bader, Z Magazine

Of course, the only women welcome to speak out are those who've somehow managed to maintain any enthusiasm for abortion after having actually endured one. It makes it hard to maintain momentum in the abortion advocacy movement when women who partake of the cherished "right" realize firsthand how much it sucks.
Hi,
Thanks for commenting. After looking at your blogs, particularly the Schiavo posts, I'm not sure reality penetrates your consciousness. But, anyway, here goes.
It's about choice. It's pro-choice, not pro-abortion. If women's liberation is even a possibility, women must control their own bodies, "not the church, not the state." There is little more to be said. Dan
