Today is the 36th anniversary of Roe v. Wade, and like many women, I must mark this occasion with a post.

I am pro-choice. Outspokenly, adamantly, born and bred pro-choice. I was literally raised to be pro-choice by parents who are pro-choice. I will be doing the same with my daughter.

I wrote about this back in July at my own blog, and I'll reproduce the entire posthere.

This new regulation, HHS-45-CFR part 88 is an abomination to all women, but one of the least talked about applications of it is how this will effect infertiles and recurrent miscarriers. By focusing on them I'm by no means denying the horrific effects this will have on women of normal fertility or pregnant women in general. Just, here's another perspective.

One thing that is absolutely certain is that we have many fine, talented, and powerful Democrats in the Senate.

Perhaps we should keep it that way.

I live in Illinois, and have many friends at Northern Illinois University. Thankfully, no one I know was hurt.

Unfortunately, everyone I know is afraid.

As of this point, I'm sick of the news about Clinton's non-tears. We've all seen the video by now, and her getting emotional about her country is beautiful, but should have passed without comment. Of course, that can't happen.

First, we have Edwards denigrate her, but Obama had the correct response of essentially ignoring it.

Now, Obama sends a campaign manager to MSNBC to tell everyone that not only is Clinton a crybaby, but she only cries about her appearance and not, say...Katrina.

As Kos says, the race is on, and I think that's wonderful. I'm currently undecided, and I'm thrilled that Hillary won New Hampshire.

Sure, it's all about the primary wars, but if your candidate didn't win, it's simply not the end of the world.

I want to preface this with a few disclaimers:

I have nothing against arranged marriage, per se.

I have nothing against immigrants of any race, nationality, or culture.

This situation is very very real, and I'm scared out of my mind.

My best friend is Indian, born in India, and moved to the states when she was 2. She and all her immediate family are US Citizens. Because of her caste, she has been expected to enter an arranged marriage, and sometime soon she will be.

The problem is, she's just barely being not forced into it.

One thing that makes this election so exciting is just how much is at stake. For the first time ever we have a decent shot at getting some serious healthcare reform, we have a major war we need to get out of, and we've seen the country go in a mindboggling terrible direction, which of course must be corrected. There's so much to talk about, but which one is most important?

I've seen tons of diaries on the war, on healthcare, the Constitution, a few on education and abortion, many on the economy, but none have yet given a hint of the consensus of the community.

So I'd like to ask the DKos community which one they're most concerned with.

If you're like me, you've been growing increasingly disturbed with the rampant use of the Taser by police departments. It seems that every few weeks some new horrific story of a cop torturing someone for no apparent reason comes out, and invariably the officer gets away with it because it's "not lethal"

First time I've ever randomly decided to poke cnn.com, and I find this gem:

*Teacher James Buss wrote anonymous post praising Columbine H.S. shooters
*His supporters say post was ironic response to anti-teacher posts
*Another teacher read it, called police, and Buss was arrested
*D.A. mulling whether to charge Buss with disorderly conduct

Ok, I'm late to the game, but I just listened to part of the Republican YouTube debate, and I'm shocked.

Paul: I'm an OB doctor and I practiced medicine for 30 years and I of course never saw one time when a medically necessary abortion had to be done. But, uh, I think it certainly is a crime but I uh also understand the difficulties. I think when you're talking about third trimester deliberate abortion and partial birth abortion...

That's all I need to know to understand that either Ron Paul wasn't an obstetrician, or at the very least he was a terrible one.
