Ah, sleep!
Finally got some. Feel much better, especially with it so much cooler today. Fabulous thunderstorms coming through.
Not much else going on at the moment, but a bunch of links:
Since 2000, mifepristone has been prescribed to induce abortions. But controversy over its official use has stymied scientists' ability to research its potential to treat breast cancer and other diseases. Advocates say the election could change that.
(WOMENSENEWS)--With more research, it could offer new treatments for breast cancer, fibroids and endometriosis.
But since it's an abortion drug, since it weathered a congressional investigation two years ago--and since it's in short supply--researchers have yet to test its full potential.
Kucinich Introduces Articles of Impeachment -- I wish I believed it would go anywhere. I'm disgusted that we're acquiescing to blatant legal violations, and I have been for a long time. It's not even about getting Bush out earlier at this point. It's about making a statement about what we believe and expect as a country. And I find it horrifying that we apparently don't.
This political season, the GLBT community is being courted like never before. For example, the first-ever televised presidential debate focusing on “gay rights issues,” sponsored by the Human Rights Campaign (HRC), and broadcast on Logo, was held last August. All the major Democratic candidates at the time attended, debating whether civil unions went far enough, or if we need same-sex marriage.
We’ve come a long way, baby-that is, as long as the “we” being talking about is “gay” rights.
What about the bisexual community? Are all parts of the GLBT community equal partners in the fight for “gay rights”?
Grrr. I thought this had been a one-time offensive idiocy. Looks like it's becoming a recurring pattern to refuse to allow the use of the word "rape" in a rape trial.
Gee, must be fun to be a legitimate American citizen and _still_ risk getting deported due to racial profiling
Disturbing news of a ramping up of anti-choice activism in the U.K.
Interesting article about the issues involved in translating Our Bodies, Ourselves
Progressive Religious Leaders Drowned Out in Conversations About Sex
