Bloggin' for choice
Jan. 23rd, 2007 09:49 amI am using my laptop, and don't want to try to get the icon. This is my post for today because it is so important to me.
I worked for Planned Parenthood of Minnesota for nearly four years, as the librarian for its small, specialized library. I especially remember the teenage girls who came from all over the state, because the Twin Cities and Duluth are the only places that have abortion clinics. Sometimes they, or the friends who brought them, would crash on the couch outside the library where I worked. They had gotten up at 6 am or 5 am or even 4 am to get to St Paul, because there was no where else they could go.
I think every woman of every age, starting at menarche and ending at menopause should have access to free birth control, free abortion AND free pre-natal care. And, frankly, men should stay out of this issue.
