The fight for your right to your uterus is on

(Updates at bottom) Today, a bunch of stuck up men who have no business telling a woman what she can't do with her body and her health celebrated when Bush signed the partial-birth abortion ban into law.

Planned Parenthood is filing lawsuits to fight this new law. In a press release today, they annouced a ruling in Nebraska which temporarily prevents the new law from being used in that state. They go on to say:

By signing this ban today, President Bush demonstrated his willingness to sacrifice women's health and legitimate medical science to appease anti-choice hardliners. Today's signing is the culmination of a deceptive campaign to mislead the public and interfere with the sacred doctor-patient relationship.

Planned Parenthood is heading the legal battle to fight this unconstitutional law, which means they need your support. My unemployed ass will be sending them some change, and it's Christmas season, so you have no excuses.

[Update: Reports about the ruling don't actually say if this law was halted in just Nebraska or the rest of the country, or any other states. Since a federal judge in Nebraska cannot rule on the country at large, I assume that the ruling is solely for Nebraska.]

[More updates: It should be noted that calling this bill a "partial-birth abortion ban" is considered false by some groups who are against it, because the language of the bill makes it go beyond just a ban on partial-birth abortions. The medical validity of "partial-birth abortion" is even in quetstion. For more information, read NOW's informative press release.]
