tardy. - updated

update: i know that the petition isn't letting you sign it without entering a card type; they're working on fixing the kink over at Ms. right now.

there's no excuse for my tardiness on this one, but feministing reminded me that i wanted to mention the new Ms. I Had An Abortion campaign, which is a reflection of a petition published in the original 1972 issue of Ms., and has been undertaken because "it is time to speak out again– in even larger numbers —and to make politicians face their neighbors, influential movers and shakers, and yes, their family members."

now, i have never had an abortion, but i'll be signing the petition in support of any woman's right to have one if she feels that's the right decision for her. so, if you are so inclined, go sign it, whether in statement or in solidarity.
