- Domestic abuse increases chance of trouble finding homes, study says - Examiner.com
  Posted by wolftrust from Gallatin News Examiner
  Disclosing victim status could mean being denied that housing is even available. Women strong enough to flee their homes and their abusive situations were more likely to be denied housing outright, something that did not happen to people not disclosing. In the study, 65 percent of domestic violence victims were subjected to at least one form of discriminatory treatment.

  Posted by Shemuses from Globe and Mail
  Yet that one glass of wine - the pleasure of it, the taste of it and, most of all, the beloved ritual of it - is now under siege. The release last week of startling research on the link between drinking alcohol and getting breast cancer has sparked new fears in many women. According to the study conducted by the U.S. National Cancer Institute, the headlines blared, women who consumed less than one drink a day had a 7-per-cent increase in their risk of developing certain very common estrogen-fuelled breast cancers.

  Posted by Shemuses from Alternet
  U.S. servicewomen are more likely to be raped by a fellow soldier than killed by enemy fire. It's time we dealt with this national disgrace.

- U.S. Women Working in Iraq Continue to be Sexually Assaulted While Their Rapists Go Free
  Posted by Shemuses from Alternet
  Sexual assault crimes by military contractors are going unprosecuted, not for a lack of legal tools, but a lack of will. As news broke of the rape of yet another US military contractor employee in Iraq, convened a hearing April 9 to demand that the Justice Department explain why it has failed to prosecute a single sexual assault case in the theater since the Iraq War began.

The MILFy Way

Her politics of racism, hate, support for Big Oil, the Alaskan Independence Party, all make her as un-MILFY as is possible, for me. Add to that her bizarre religious practises, her lying at will, even her backstabbing of her Republican patron in Alaska, all make her so repulsive as a human being, she’s the quintessential MI (would never, ever, even if she was the last woman on earth)LF.

HHS Moves to Define Contraception as Abortion

The media keeps referring to Bush as a ‘Lame Duck President’, but this is just the sort of damage to freedom that people can expect from the Bush/Cheney White House before a new president is sworn into office in January. They are expecting us to let down our guard.

HHS Moves to Define Contraception as Abortion

I think we can expect an acceleration of unfathomable, unreasonable, unstomachable executive orders and administrative rulings in the final days of the Bush administration.
The Democratic Congress, elected to a majority in ‘06 to end the Iraq war, has taken a huge bet in not impeaching and not confronting Bush and the GOP agenda in order to keep approval numbers low enough for a sweep in November. It’s a huge doubling down – gambling with nothing less than our democracy.
