Cheryl, you are so right. I worked today at the clinic I've been at for the past 17 years. It is quite gratifying that women can still obtain abortion care when needed where I live. We really do work hard to counter the attacks on women. I've become a voter registration volunteer, and do some of the work you've described. Mostly though, I encourage people to vote and spread the word. If we regain healthy majorities in our Congress, I believe we can get laws protecting abortion rights, birth control rights, voting rights, and so many rights we assumed were guaranteed by our Constitution but are now under threat, passed.
We do not sit idly by, but it will certainly take a great effort by all of us. And it won't happen overnight. The key is not to let it defeat you, and not to stoop to the right wing level of insults, threats or violence. We are so much better than that.
