See, they're "good" women. Only those dirty filthy fucking sluts have to worry about the Republican "plan," see? And of course, every soccer / wal-mart-whatever mom's own daughters are also chaste "good girls" who will never need to worry about contraception or abortion because thy're saving it for marriage to mr. right, just like mom did!

Send our daughters, granddaughters, nieces, friends and neighbors back to this barbaric reaction to desperation.

That they would take us back to that time of horror...

Is a woman less important than a clump of cells?

They don't care about women's issues or women's lives. They don't care if women resort to hangers. They don't care if women are raped and become pregnant or not. They don't care if women WANT to become pregnant via in-vitro fertilization. They don't care about women. And they use God and their Bible as justification for their misogyny. Religion's prevalence in U.S. politics has emboldened them.

Definitely one of the best editorial cartoons I've ever seen. It is simplicity itself, allowing the reshaped coat hanger to tell the story of horrors to come if they are given free rein.

Don't let them do it! GOTV!

The rage is so palpable among women right now, I think it would be perfect to have Faye say "no more wire hangers" in it's original form. I'll do it tomorrow when I get a chance. Any thoughts on accompanying music?

Can't think of any music that would be suitable - mainly because the wind is so loud right now
that I can't think at all. Lights flickering, too...
