Happy 36th Anniversary of Roe v. Wade

On this, the 36th anniversary of Roe v. Wade, I am especially grateful that we have a President who is going to appoint Supreme Court judges whom will uphold this important decision, who respects women and their right to choose and who will hopefully very soon overturn the global gag rule. 

I am especially interested in the new administrations webpage on women's issues where reproductive health is at the top of the list along with violence against women, poverty, education, and national security.   President Obama makes it very clear that he supports Roe v. Wade as well as access to birth control.

However, while we may have a President who now supports Roe v. Wade, President Bush signed the federal abortion ban in 2003 which still stands today.  The ban criminalizes abortion in the second trimester of pregnancy and allows politicians to make decisions that should be made by a women's doctor. With the anti-choice Supreme Court we currently have, the work to save Roe is not over.
