Two News Items

1. Gacked from keribear and warder369:

I saw the South Dakota article on the NYT. These people have a lot of gall thinking they can actually get Roe v. Wade overturned.

Er, I was going to cite a passage from the Vagina Monologues about states that outlaw vibrators but allow machine guns, etc., but... surprisingly it's not in my copy of the script. =(

Oh, oh, you just reminded me, you might be interested in this, I got it in an email:

West Virginia Patriots for Peace has put out the call for the public to gather in protest when White House Chief of Staff, Karl Rove, comes to town on Thursday

And sorry I posted it so late!

I know the one, but can't find it either. No worries. :)

1. Icon love!
2. Anything abortion related like that makes me want to throw wire coat hangers at people. Because that's what it'll go back to.

I <3 your QC icons, too. :) (Unfortunately, many of the good QC quotes are so long that the type is small and hard to read. Ah well. :)

On a mildly unrelated note; nice QC icon.
