Happy, happy!

To everyone who makes DAMMIT JANET! such a slice, but especially for my co-blogger and co-founder of this here joint, fernhilldammit:


Happy birthday to us, toots!

That by the way is the sans-pareille Betty Bonifassi.  You can hear and see her here, too.

Just Like Thanksgiving. . .

. . . Canadians can celebrate two Blogging for Choice Days.

On January 22, the US Supreme Court landmark judgement Roe v. Wade is 40 years old.

Much weakened recently -- 2012 was second only to 2011 in the number of new state restrictions on abortion -- but it's still in effect.

Here are some nifty infographics to decorate your blog-post.

Then, on January 28, we celebrate 25 years of lawlessness in Canada.

But all is not rosy here either. We've still got major access issues and the perennial wanking of fetus fetishists. The current one, Warawa's Wank is slated to have some debate in March.

Mark your calendars and shine your party shoes.

The best part? No frigging turkey.

The Shrieeek We Want to Hear

Today is the 36th anniversary of the US Supreme Court decision on Roe v. Wade and the fetus fetishists are taking to the streets of Washington to protest. Again.

But as that link points out, they're not going to get much support from President Obama.

In fact, pro-choice supporters are expecting Obama to mark this anniversary by rescinding the Mexico City Policy, or Global Gag Rule today.

This will be a good thing but what we're really looking forward to is his signing of the Freedom of Choice Act, which will nullify all the pissant little rules, regulations, and restrictions various states have instituted to impede women's reproductive rights.

The shrieeeeking will be thunderous. And delightful to pro-choice ears.
