I spent all last night writing my Senators and Representatives - I'd been considering changing my voter registration to Indiana, but that fucker Stupak is keeping me in Michigan so that I can strike out against him in any way that I can. Man makes me ashamed to be a Michigander, which fact I informed him of in the very pissy email I sent off. Planned Parenthood has a good mass-write-Obama thing organized, so I did that too. But my hopes are not very high.
Bill Clinton thinks we shouldn't let the perfect be the enemy of the good? This isn't the good. If it was just not helping with abortion access maybe, but this bill would make things even worse than they are now. And abortion rights are too fragile right now, after the chipping-away that's been diminishing them for oh pretty much my entire lifespan, to let this happen. I don't care so much about the perfect, but I'll fight back against the atrocious.
I just wish I had any hope that fighting will make a difference.
