ljgeoffI will be hosting a potluck in Marquette Michigan USA on Friday, October 20th, and you are invited. The potluck is being held to raise awareness of the abortion ban situation in South Dakota. If you think you might come, you can sign up here.
For more info on the ban, there are newspaper articles here and here and an article about the Oglala Souix's response here.
a quote, 'cause it's cool:
"To me, it is now a question of sovereignty. ... I will personally establish a Planned Parenthood clinic on my own land which is within the boundaries of the Pine Ridge Reservation where the State of South Dakota has absolutely no jurisdiction." -- Cecilia Fire Thunder, Chief, Oglala Souix
As a side, Mike and I got into it a little about me doing too much. He's almost always right, so now I'm doubting myself. But, really, the only thing I feel overwhelmed about is my anatomy class (which is making my head explode; I can't stand the rote memorization that is required).
