Listening to women's voices

I've noticed some real good advice and some real honest opinions from women in the media lately.

On Rachel Maddow awhile back, she interviewed Jennifer Boulanger, Executive Director for the Allentown, PA Women's Center, who gave some chilling descriptions of the "compassionate conservative" scumbags who assault her staff, her clinic's patients, and herself. Even if you do not approve of abortion (and, really, who does?), I would like to think you'd be appalled at the level of hate so-called Christians have on this issue.

Watch the segment here:

On the same subject is Rozalyn Farmer Love, a third year medical student who plans to practice in women's health. She explains how and why she came to the conclusion that should she be confronted to have to perform an abortion, she will do her job. Yes, she grew up in a religious family, but dogma will not overcome he need to act in her patient's best interests. It is a pretty powerful read from someone about to be thrown into the front lines of a very touchy subject.

Lastly, some VERY no-nonsense economic advise from 93-year old Dr. Anna Schwartz. This was a delight to listen to, even though it was harsh medicine to swallow.

We need to stop listening to the misogynists in the GOP who hate women except when they can use a random beauty pageant winner as a prop to spread hate and fear and actually listen to the female voices in our society.
