Do we have a running list of insane anti-choice legislation
Edited on Tue Aug-14-07 08:10 AM by Ilsa
or proposals that got shot down in various states? Maybe not even specifically about restricting abortion rights, but also including access to contraception, etc? I think it would be good to have available links to stories about wingnuts trying to control women's reproduction.

I post on a local discussion board, and abortion comes up occasionally, sometimes in the context of ESCR, etc. Some of the women posting are pro-choice, and showing them the links of how many nuts there are trying to strike down choice, contraception, etc, will really motivate them to work towards stopping the gradual stomping on their rights. There are also some people who label themselves "defenders of life", They have all sorts of manipulative techniques, like, "If it wasn't alive you wouldn't have to abort it," etc.

On edit: Not just legislation, but behavior, such as the pharmacists that won't dispense birth control, etc.

2. naral is a good place to start...
Here's a link to their page regarding what's going on in every state:

http://www.naral.org/choice-action-center/in_your_state/who-decides/

Also on the LEFT side of that page, you'll notice a bar in maroon entitled Key Anti-Choice Issues. That's a great place to keep an eye on! It follows current legislation and key issues all over the country, specifically anti-choice. Here's a link from that bar (the first one)just as an example:
