Back in the fold, I want to contribute a thread that i hope will be ongoing and actively participated in.
Increasingly i read things that I feel all people, but in particular women, should be aware of
as it will /may/or has the potential to affect her, strictly because of her gender, in some negative manner,
now or in the future, such as setting a precedent, backward steps, or even misguided thinking.
A thread where our gender can be aware of our history, changes made both positive, but often negative,
and what is happening to/with us in a social way now and ongoing, as a group.

Today I read an editorial by Susan Nielsen, Behind the Abortion Law...

I dont wish to debate abortion in this thread, as that would put me over the edge. However, two things Ms. Neilsen wrote, that have nothing to do with abortion itself, glared out and frankly scare me.

1) The bill recently passed by the TX house that requires a MD to describe fetal details allows women to close their eyes and cover their ears. I believe I can close my eyes without permission at any given time, without any kind of allowance.

More importantly though is

2) Indiana may soon join 5 other states that require MDs to warn that abortions can cause breast cancer. I do not understand how any state government can mandate that a caregiver outright lie to his patient, nor how any caregiver can comply.
