In times of old, The Furies protected Mother Right. If a mother (or any woman) was harmed, The Furies swooped down and took their vengeance. They were one of the last vestiges of a world that existed before the patriarchy. When we feel righteous anger, it is The Furies who are calling out to us to make what is wrong right again.

THE WAR AGAINST WOMEN IS HAPPENING NOW 

You don't have to imagine women losing our rights to determine what happens to our bodies—it is HAPPENING NOW. Legally pregnant women now have less rights in most states than fetuses. When pregnant women have refused certain medical procedures the doctors think would save a fetus, doctors (and others) have taken these women to court to force them to have the procedures. In many cases the women lose in court and are then strapped down to a gurney, some of them screaming for help, and taken into an operating room where their bodies are cut into without their permission. In at least one case, the woman died—along with the fetus. This is why we must march in D.C. this Sunday and all over the country. This is why we must elect pro-choice candidates for all state and federal positions. This is why you must not stand by and allow it to get worse. One of the most effective ways we can preserve our rights is to make certain George W. Bush is not re-elected.
