The Furious Spinner

The U.S. Senate just passed a bill banning so-called partial-birth abortions. Bush has said he will sign this legislation which restricts the reproductive rights of women and makes no exception because of a woman's health.

This is only the beginning. These people want to take away the rights of women to control our bodies. I hope they don't succeed. Because I'm not going back to the dark ages when we were chattel—when legally we had no rights and men could do pretty much whatever they wanted to us. If they take away our right to choose, I do believe the streets of our country will run red. This regime has to be stopped now.

And if you don't think this is a culture war, a war for the right to do what we want with our bodies, a war against people who practice any religion that is not "their" religion you haven't been paying attention. Army Lt. General William Boykin, a deputy undersecretary of defense, has said that Islam is our "spiritual enemy." He's said much more.

I think all of us should start wearing arm bands to signify our mourning—and to signify our resolve not to let anyone take away any more of our rights! Only let's not wear black arm bands. Make them red: red for life, red for our blood, red for women's rights!
