UNITE AGAINST THE WAR ON WOMEN

What's the right wing's real agenda? Rick Santorum says it so well...

MAKING BIRTH CONTROL AVAILABLE "IS A LICENSE TO DO THINGS IN A SEXUAL REALM THAT IS COUNTER TO HOW THINGS ARE SUPPOSED TO BE."

What is the women's agenda? Let's tell it to Rick Santorum and all his buddies.

We have the right to sex with the partner or partners of our choice -- or not to have sex at all -- even if we're married.

We have the right to marry whomever we wish.

We have the right to have children or not to have children -- and if we do have children we have a right to expect our whole society to help in the raising of our children.

We have the right to birth control if we want to use it, or we have the right to an abortion if we become pregnant without wanting to be.

If we have a child, we have the right to choose the manner of our birthing, including home, birth center or hospital, and we have the right to choose who will be at our birthing.

THIS IS OUR AGENDA; AND RICK...THAT'S HOW "THINGS ARE SUPPOSED TO BE!!

STOP WAR AGAINST WOMEN
by Carol Downer

First, they arrested the prostitutes and took them "off the streets".  We did nothing, because we were not prostitutes.

Next, they took away federal funds to pay for poor women's abortion.  We did nothing, because we were able to pay for our abortions.

Next, they bombed the abortion providers.  We did nothing, because we didn't like them anyway, and talking about the whole issue made us uncomfortable.

Next, they outlawed birth control.  We could do nothing, because --

We had not defended each woman's right to control her own body, including charging for sex if she wants to.

We had not stuck up for those of us who couldn't afford an abortion.

We didn't honor and protect the abortion provider's who make "choice" a reality
