The Big Tent: home base for progressive bloggers
Most of you know that I've been hanging out in The Big Tent with a whole gaggle of progressive bloggers. Seriously, there are so many bloggers here, I cannot wrap my head around it.
One very important thing I've learned? Bloggers like beer. And other bloggers. And that's why it's so dang fun here. Meeting bloggers whose blogs I read, chatting about women's reproductive rights, forming progressive alliances, pitching NARAL Pro-Choice America's work as the political arm of the pro-choice movement... it's all so overwhelming. And I haven't even begun to discuss all the free food (hello Chipotle!). The Big Tent is such an invaluable resource, and I'm glad NARAL is a part of it.
Nancy Keenan, president of NARAL Pro-Choice America, is going to participate in a panel tomorrow titled "Have 'They' Gone Too Far? The medical and political implications of attacks on reproductive health care, including Colorado's Amendment 48." The panel begins at 9 a.m. MT/ 11 a.m. EST and is streaming live on the Big Tent Denver website, so please check it out tomorrow!
More to follow- stay tuned.

Regarding Amendment 48, you might be interested to read an issue paper just published by the Coalition for Secular Government (http://www.seculargovernment.us): "Amendment 48 Is Anti-Life: Why It Matters That a Fertilized Egg Is Not a Person" by Ari Armstrong and myself. It's available at:

We discuss some of the serious implications of this proposed amendment, including its effects on the legality of abortion, birth control, and in vitro fertilization. And we offer a strong defense of abortion rights based on the biological facts of pregnancy.
