South Dakota to tackle abortion ban again
By Jessica: South Dakota is at it again. A new abortion ban bill is expected to be revealed today at the state Capitol--and this time around it will have exceptions for rape, incest and the health of the woman. (So generous, I know.)... this is going to mean a change of fighting words on our part. After all, a lot of what pro-choicers talked about when trying to defeat the last ban was the lack of exceptions...Labels: abortion, feminism, sexism, south dakota

The Return of the Mommy Party
By Vanessa: The New York Times has a piece today on how women seeking high political positions are playing up their motherhood for more votes. (And that the strategy is a good one.) For a long time women seeking high office, particularly executive office, were advised to play down their softer, domestic side, and play up their strength and qualifications. Relax, ladies! Now that you’ve proved yourself worthy, you can be your natural, nurturing selves again!Labels: femenism, politics, sexism
