FOCA reaches its 100th congressional cosponsor
Promising news for a rainy Friday... but first, a recap:
The anti-choice movement has been slowly but surely chipping away at a woman's right to choose. In fact, more than 500 anti-choice measures have been enacted in the states since 1995. The most recent and devastating of these attacks on choice was the Supreme Court's closely divided and bitter decision upholding the Federal Abortion Ban.
In response, the pro-choice community is working to guarantee the right to choose through the Freedom of Choice Act (FOCA) – a measure that will codify Roe v. Wade and guarantee the right to choose for future generations of women.
We're excited to announce that FOCA recently reached its 100th congressional cosponsor. To see if your member of congress is one of the cosponsors, click here.

Make no mistake—a woman's right to choose is being actively attacked and is very vulnerable. Now is the time to stand up for what you believe in—by getting active, speaking out, and helping to elect pro-choice candidates this year and a pro-choice president in 2008!

The "Federal Abortion Ban", Jill? Are you serious? I know you guys don't want to use the word "abortion", but can't you at least be honest about what kind of abortion ban it was? Or, at the very least, be grammatically accurate by not capitalizing your made-up term and put it in lower case so as to slow down the stampedes running out to buy coat hangers?
