Thursday, March 8th was International Women’s Day and let’s look at how it was celebrated here in the U.S. of A…
In Alabama, women protested against yet another forced vaginal probe bill…
In Kansas and Arizona, bills were introduced protecting from malpractice suits doctors who withhold medical information from a pregnant woman if they think that information might lead to her having an abortion. However, in all fairness, they did include a sweet loophole whereby a wrongful death suit could still be filed if the mother died as a result of such withholding. So really, who can complain? Oh, yeah. The dead woman.
And in Oklahoma, a woman is required to be told that there is a link between abortions and an increased risk of breast cancer…. even though no such link actually exists.
But no one knows how to celebrate women like those good old boys down in Georgia where, regardless of any medical complications, after 20 weeks a woman would be required to carry a pregnancy to term because really… women aren’t all that much different than farm animals.

Now lest you think that no one got into the true spirit of celebrating what’s really most important to today's women…
In honor of International Women’s Day, an auto designer in India has made a series of cars in the shapes of objects close to women’s hearts: A shoe, a compact, and a lipstick.
Oh, yeah, baby… We’ve come a long way.
