“Kansas is now a pro-life state, and we’re not going back,” Gov. Sam Brownback said to a roaring applause from a crowd of more than 1,000."
There was a rally on the steps of the state capitol this morning - cheering the erosion of rights for women throughout the state.
I wish there would be a point when I could stop being embarrassed of my state - but while reading about the anti-woman, anti-choice, pro-Government-intrusion rally...I made the mistake of reading one of the comments..I really should know better. Honestly, it made me livid.

Do you see it? "if a women (sic) wants to cut out her uterus she is free to do so." Well, Dr. Boxlock_ that is actually absolutely positively false - unless of course you are talking about a woman of means. For example - I have been begging for a hysterectomy for about 10 years now. Due to various "female" issues and a strong family history of cancer - I'm of the opinion that I'm not using it and well, there is a chance it's going to kill me. A wee bit irrational, yes, I'll admit that - however - if I really could "cut out" my uterus, like Mr. Boxlock_ thinks I can, then I probably would have done it by now. I was actually told that because I have no kids and wasn't a certain age yet - that no doctor would touch me. The doctor also told me if I had already had a couple kids, she'd "take it out tomorrow". *sigh*
Yes, it was a female doctor - no I didn't go back to her.
The antis always like to say that a woman's opportunity for choice is before she has sex - yet they work to undermine sex ed, rail against contraception, refuse to consider that abortion might be a good option for some women, gut social safety net funding and public education. I fail to see how that is "pro-life" at all.
