Worthy petition....
Right now, the Honduran Congress is considering a vote on a law that would jail women for using emergency contraception, even in cases of rape.
But according to this petition, the head of their Congress is a presidential candidate over there, who actually gives a crud about his worldwide reputation, not just his reputation within his own country.
So there's a petition working to get a million signatures condemning this bill. Maybe if the world puts enough pressure on them, this can get killed before it ever becomes a law.

The petition's looking for a million signatures before May 16th, when it'll be delivered to their head Congress guy, one Juan Orlando Hernández. Here's hoping more people will sign it; I did.
