Mississippi has the highest teen pregnancy rate in the nation, as well as the lowest abortion rate.

I disagree with pinkification usually but this is different;

Yes it is scary shit. They don't even hide their agenda do they?

Jesus. That is really all I can think of to say.

So scary to see people who can't win the actual legal argument using back door approaches.

Sometimes the fight seems never-ending, especially when we are having to fight just to maintain the status quo. It makes me so sad for those women in Mississippi. Their rights being eroded in a very real and frightening way. And this is a supposedly western culture we are talking abut here. So you can only imagine what it is like for women at the moment in countries where their rights aren't even acknowledged.
