US feminists are doing some good work. Remember that this is a STATE law not a federal law, so there's no point marching on the white house - there are some marches on the Virigina state house but as the election is this nov. most state-and-national feminist organizations are using their boots-on-the-ground power to drum up support for pro-choice candidates.
In the mid-term elections in 2010 a bunch of republicans got into power, and frankly it's been open season on reproductive health care ever since.
it's horrendous. They all want to ban abortion, and are trying to say that contraception should be harder to get too.
The silver lining in this is that it's finally showing the right for what they are. No, not interested in 'jobs, jobs, jobs' and actually very keen on waging what they call 'the culture wars' (god guns gays abortion) to keep poor and stupid people angry enough to vote republican.
There are a lot of people in America who wish the 60s never happened, they are the people who fight 'the culture war'. Happily it seems to be putting independent voters (swing voters) off - that and women, who vote more than men. So I think this is going to hurt the right wing a lot in the long term.
In the short term, what the poor Virginian women seeking abortions will have to go through... just beyond belief.
