Are you kidding me?!?

My big question is: "Why hasn't the 'liberal' media run with the news of South Dakota's attempt to ban ALL abortions?" Where are you journalists? I checked The New York Times, as I do everyday to find out what is being said about this full-frontal attack on a woman's right to choose what is best for her and her body, and .... NOTHING. I had to do a search to find the AP overview of what was happening. And it was third on the list after ski reports and a roll call vote!! Abortion is a hot-button issue with me as a woman and a liberal.

I know, I know, if Roe v. Wade is overturned abortion doesn't immediately become illegal-- it reverts back to the states to decide. I know, I know there will always be places in this country where a woman can go. I know, I know there are hundreds of important issues, but why isn't there more fury? I get emails daily from the DNC, John Kerry (not personal-- I only get those once a week), MoveOn, etc. and the only organization who has even mentioned the attack is Planned Parenthood. I have been anxiously awaiting our fearless leader's comments and he posts about Madonna!!! (Please note: No offense is meant! It only illustrates my point, which is...)

We women are on our own in this matter. Yes, there are male advocates (our previously mentioned fearless leader is a huge advocate of abortion rights, women's rights, etc.), but when it comes down to it, Our Bodies, Our Choice means more then waiting around for our male counterparts to step up. Which takes me to the next point in my rant...

Where are we? What are we waiting for? Women, students, bohemians, anyone who is not a rich, white, male (no offense to all of you rich, white, males reading this, but your time is up)-- what has to be done to us before we say, "Enough is enough!" Okay, I am going to wind down before this becomes a full-scale call to revolution leading to the shut down of Real Art. The point of all of this is what are we doing? What are we actually doing? A question for the ages that can only be answered by each of us individually before we can even think of what we are doing collectively. Now I am going to sit and cry and wish I was a strong person capable of great things instead of a weak-willed pile of flesh only capable of self-pity. (Uhhh... Ron? Was that a bit over the top?)
