As you probably saw on the main page - the kickass people of the Trust Women Foundation were on the Rachel Maddow Show tonight, discussing the clinic renovations and plans for offering comprehensive reproductive health care in Wichita. 

South Wind Women's Center will offer comprehensive women's health services. Everything from annual exams, prenatal care to abortion care. The women of south central Kansas deserve nothing less. Here are some ways you can help the clinic open.
1) Money. I know it's in short supply, at least at my house, but if you have some extra to support the cause - I strongly urge you to help out. Between renovations, staff and security - getting this off the ground is a major undertaking and those willing to take it on deserve our help.
2) If you live in the Wichita area - contact your city council member. BE POLITE! Rage while understandable and justifiable, isn't going to help the cause. Simply explain to your council member that you support the opening of South Wind and feel there is a need for comprehensive women's health care in this city. 
3) Talk to your family and friends. A lot of people are afraid to identify as pro-choice, especially in this town. People have this misconception that there are so many more antis than there are of us and I really don't think that the the case. They are just much more vocal and are given a lot of free publicity/air time by our local press.
4) Letters to the Editor - a simple statement of support for the clinic and the cause.
5) If you are not currently happy with your reproductive health care provider, make a commitment to start going to South Wind as soon as it opens. It is up to the women of this community to take a stand, we need to value providers that respect us. Respect our right to determine our lives. Providers that Trust Women!

ProChoice Kansas fully supports the opening of this clinic. It is desperately needed in this community, both from a medical perspective and from a psychological one. The loss we suffered as a community when Dr. Tiller was assassinated is not really something that can ever be healed. But we can go on and guarantee women the health care that we know he would have wanted for them.

"The Violence Against Women Act (VAWA), enacted in 1994, recognizes the insidious and pervasive nature of domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, and stalking and supports comprehensive, effective and cost saving responses to these crimes. VAWA programs, administered by the Departments of Justice and Health and Human Services, give law enforcement, prosecutors and judges the tools they need to hold offenders accountable and keep communities safe while supporting victims. VAWA must be swiftly reauthorized to ensure the continuation of these vital, lifesaving programs and laws."


The Violence Against Women Act - has been bipartisan supported legislation for nearly two decades - what's changed?  More after the jump....
