On April 28, there will be marches in every state capitol and many other large cities. This is a response to:
--The Blunt Amendment in the US Congress;
--The all-male panel convened to advise the US Congress on matters of contraception;
--The lack of female representatives in state and national legislatures;
--The forced vaginal ultrasound bills in state legislatures;
--The fetal personhood bills in state legislatures;
--The increasing difficulty and expense of acquiring contraception, sometimes as a result of legislation designed for that effect;
--Rush Limbaugh's attacks on Sandra Fluke;
--The continuing absence of any identifiable abortion service provider in 88% of American counties;
--The continuing discrepancy in pay for work done by women;
--And much more.
