I HEART FEMINISM

Happy Valentines Day! Today I will love my feminist sisters and my feminist self.

I will love my legal rights. I will learn how to be more articulate about why I feel legal abortion should remain my right.

I will love my art. As a writer and artist I will reject being shoved into the gender-shaped subcategory “women writers” and “women artists”.

I will love my body. I recognize the anti-fat and anti-woman culture of weight in which I live in and will explore and take control of my own health.

Here's to loving feminism.

I’ve got a headache…give me a third term abortion

In the third and final (thank goddess) debate, John McCain addressed the issue of abortion. He used his fingers to put quotes around the words -- health of the mother -- stating emphatically that the “ ‘health of the mother’ is stretched by pro-abortionists to mean just about anything.” Just about anything? Just about ANYTHING? Are you saying that a pregnant woman with a whopper of a head ache in her third trimester would seriously consider Advil, acupuncture and abortion on the same list of remedies? What a sexist insult. My health and the health of every women in America, including during pregnancy, should be a concern for anyone running for president. It does not belong between McCain’s or anyone elses fingers. Senator McCain, I “think” you just “threw away” all those “Hillary” votes you were “counting” on.
