Dem Women: We Hate to Say “We Told You So” But….
In 2008, millions of women voted along one single issue: choice. Well, we hate to say we told you so, but…. Women cannot count on a party to protect their interests. Tonight as our Congress passed a historic healthcare bill, something missing? Yes, coverage for women who choose to have abortions. ...

Why Women’s Orgs MUST Become Non-Partisan
After yet another evening of being thrown under the bus, it is high time that women’s organizations change their approach! Women in the Democratic Party have been taken for granted and have lost their bargaining power as a result. ...

Check the FAQ page of the New Agenda website - it clearly states that the organization does not take a position on the abortion question. So I'm confused here.

we're not taking a position on choice - we're taking a position on how women's orgs should conduct themselves going forward and the necessity of being non-partisan.

I respect both Barbara Boxer and Carly Fiorina. I wish they did not have to run against each other. But definately it is a gain to have two candidates vs. just one. Keeping the eyes out for sexism--three hundred and sixty degrees.

So glad to see there's going to be an organized rally. That's very heartening. What we need now is a Peace Learning Center in every city - providing anti-violence, anti-discrimination and conflict resolution classes in every school district, inner city and otherwise. Good luck with the radio interview!

Who views this as acceptable? Most of the people I know think it is horrible. There are "some" people who do, but to say that our country as a whole views it as acceptable is wrong.

Those of us women who served in the U.S. Armed Forces have been raped and gang raped even in U.S Basic Training camps. Civilian women need to really understand that rape was a Standard GI practice until some of us brave souls became Whistle Blowers. For many of us Female Veterans, living with PTSD-MST (Post Traumatic Syndrome Disorder-Military ... Read MoreSexual Trauma) has been a personal battle which the Armed Forces and the Pentagon were winning for quite some time.
One women I met at a Veteran For Peace conference tiold me about her rape as an Officer in the Air Force abused by her senior Officer. She accused him and went into the Military Justice System to do so. However, after being found Guilty as Charged, he was Pardoned!
