The battle for the female body is on

Supreme court justice Sandra Day O' Connor retires. That eliminates the swing vote in the US supreme court that has kept alive Roe vs Wade, the 1973 groundbreaking pro-choice court ruling.

Now is the time for all free citizens to rise up and defend the rights of women against the State asserting control over their bodies.
