Today is important, here's why

Today is Wed. November 30th, 2005.

It probably feels like any other morning; you get up, take a shower, brush your teeth, head out to work... the usual.

Maybe this evening when you get home from work you'll kick off your shoes, sit down in front of the TV or the computer and take a look at Kos. At some point a small news story or a diary will go by, and maybe you'll think nothing of it.  It'll contain the "A" word- and maybe you'll tune out.

No biggie.

Unless and until of course, ...

...the potential effects of what's going to happen today land on you, or someone you care about.

Because for many of us, today isn't just another day. Today is a crucial step in the process of deciding what this country is going to look like, and how the government is going to  interact with the  American public in the future. Whether womyn's lives matter, or whether we're expendable. Naturally, just as usual, to make the unthinkable 'appear reasonable', (or at least to short circuit critical thinking), the unthinkable will be couched in devices like `for the sake of children' and `parental rights'.

This diary comes with homework, and no, I'm not going to do your homework for you- if you want to have any idea what this diary is about, spend some time with a search engine.

Today's U.S. Supreme Court docket-

Joseph Scheidler, et al. v. National Organization for Women, Inc., et al.
Operation Rescue v. National Organization for Women, Inc., et al.

And

Kelly A. Ayotte, Attorney General of New Hampshire v. Planned Parenthood of Northern New England, et al.

I will however, provide a  
starting point.
