1. I'm going to have to come up with some original content by Monday, when I'll be guest blogging--how fun!--for The Rude Pundit. God, it'll be fun to be able to bitch up a storm again. I haven't done that in a while.

2. Apparently the latest abortion-related news from Pine Ridge is that the Oglala Sioux tribe there (having ousted Cecilia Fire Thunder) has now made it illegal to have an abortion, to seek one, or to help someone get one--all punishable by banishment. (FWIW, rape isn't.) Jacqueline Keeler's been following the story.

3. Conservative jerks including the Catholic Church (god, I just am less and less feeling any loyalty to those assholes) are apparently pressuring Amnesty International not to include women's rights to reproductive autonomy in its platform.

4. Jerk-off emergency room doctor in Pennsylvania refuses to give emergency contraception to a rape victim. The hospital's former medical director says, "a doctor has rights, too."

5. Did anyone see the WaPo op-ed about being a grad student and single mom? I dunno about you, but my husband paid for my graduate education, basically. How did you guys fund it?
