Indiana republicans are attempting to require women to allow a nonvolutary medical procedure similar to anti-abortion procedure attempted in Virginia.In the name of all Indiana women we need to send a message to republican govenors in all states.

Well friends it appears that nearly 60% of MS saying no to Personhood wasn't enough for some people as they have renewed their push for this dangerous and misguided law once again. The Colorado-based Personhood USA is meddling in our state's affairs once again, with the help of Personhood MS. After failing two times in Colorado, Personhood USA turned to MS as "easy pickings" in 2011, though little did they know that nearly 6 in 10 Mississippians would reject their meddling, unwanted efforts. With your help we defeated Personhood legislation in the MS Legislature, but this is another initiative (voter referendum) push to force Personhood upon us again.  Regardless of their unwillingness to heed the resounding call of nearly 6 in 10 Mississippians, we will not shy away from defeating them again! MS has spoken and it was clear and with full, unfettered knowledge of exactly what our votes meant -- we do not want the government prying into our bedrooms, doctor's offices, and living rooms - NO MEANS NO. Personhood concerns itself with some of our most personal decisions that should be left to ourselves, doctors, and families; certainly not a small, but vocal group of extremists who do not understand basic medical science and see women as host vehicles rather than full human beings, with all the rights and privileges thereof.  Join Us by signing and sharing this petition and "liking" and sharing this Facebook page:  www.facebook.com/NoMeansNoMSUnitedAgainstPersonhood Also please be sure to inform everyone you know to NOT SIGN THEIR PETITION attempting to get this foolish proposal back on the ballot. They need approximately 107,000 signatures to force this nonsense back on us; let's be sure that doesn't happen!  Please join us as we says NO to Personhood 2.0! Sign and share this petition and please be sure to "LIKE" and SHARE this great new Facebook page opposing the renewed Personhood push in MS; what nearly 60% of MS already voted NO on. We need to focus on improving all of the negative realities of MS (eg. health care, obesity, diabetes, teen pregnancy, STD/I infection rates, education, jobs, roads, incarceration rates, etc.) that place us at the bottom of nearly every nationwide positive indicator, instead of re-voting on something we resoundingly voted down not long ago:    www.facebook.com/NoMeansNoMSUnitedAgainstPersonhood --------------------------------------------------------------------- NO on Initiative 41: Well, well there's an official Personhood 2.0 initiative, now known as "Initiative Measure 41" Title: “Should the Mississippi Constitution be amended to state that the right to life as a person begins at conception?” Description: “The right to life begins at conception. All human beings at every stage of development are unique, created in the image of God, and shall enjoy the inalienable right to life as persons under law.” We were not confused, the 58% of us completely and totally knew what we were doing when we voted a resounding NO on the first absurd personhood initiative . The ample information, least of which was the tremendous amount of MS and national media attention on Initiative 26, only further helped ensure there was no ambiguity in the proposed law's intent and extreme consequences. Personhood is fatally flawed as it can never remove the definition and following extreme and widespread consequences of life at conception which no matter how you dress it up still carries with it the exact same consequences as Initiative 26 and any other personhood law across the country. Make no mistake, the people behind this renewed personhood push do not care about the obvious unconstitutionality of the law as they are extremists of the highest order. www.clarionledger.com/article/20130425/NEWS/304250035/New-personhood-amendment-drive-begin Thank you for all that you do to make MS a better place for all! Together we will defeat this misguided and dangerous effort to insert the government into our most personal of decisions! *Disclaimer: this effort is not associated with any group or organization, but rather is completely grassroots-driven to ensure equality and dignity for all Mississippians.

8 years ago I could not get a Human Resources Department, Agency or elected public official to hear my plea for help against sexual harassment on the job.

Are you a man? What if the United States only gave immigration visas to men? That would be pretty unfair, wouldn’t it? It would exclude a lot of good people for no good reason. Our current immigrations laws don’t limit visas to men. But we do give most of our visas for jobs overwhelming performed by men. Jobs dominated by women workers – like nannies or nurses or home care workers – get very few visas. On Monday, March 18th Senator Hirono is holding a Judiciary Committee hearing on Women and Immigration, and immigrant women will finally get the attention they deserve. This is the first time during the current immigration reform debate that a hearing has been convened on this issue. Our failure to do so in the past is one reason our current laws hurt immigrant women. Please click here to thank Senator Hirono for her bold leadership to ensure that immigrant women are finally getting heard by the United States Senate. We are often quick to criticize our elected officials. But when they step up and do the right thing, they deserve our appreciation. For the next few months, we will be doing everything we can to inform the public and our Representatives in Congress about the ways in which women will be affected by reforms to our immigration system. This hearing is a great place to start. Thank you for joining us.

As an infant brought to term by a teenager who dumped me on my grandparents and a father who didn't want to be responsible for me, I grew up resented, rejected, neglected and then humiliated, insulted, demeaned, beaten and emotionally abused by my stepfather and mother. All these poliicians who seem to care so much about my getting here, don't seem to care one whit about me, and others like me, once we get there. I grew up never having once been kissed or hugged by a parent. My entire life was spent feeling worthless and trying to prove I deserved to be here. I have had two failed marriages, attempted suicide and been seen by many psychiatrists and psychologists over the years. Until all orphanges are closed, all foster children are adopted and all babies born with the addictions and diseases of their parents have good homes, a good education, good employment and the love and encouragement of their own caring, personal families who raise them, allow those of us who have no control over being brought to Earth by those who lust but are not prepared to bring children into the world to not endure the lifelong hardships, rejection and feelings of worthlessness that makes of our lives a living Hell.

Stopping violence against women worldwide, but especially in Florida So many women are smuggled in through Florida to be used as unpaid worker and or sex slaves yearly, that the numbers are embarassing. Stop this violence against women.

Eight years ago I could not get Human Resources, Advocate Agencies, Representative at the local, state or national level, to hear my plea for help against a sexual predator.

Young women attending Colorado's institutes of higher education are particularly vulnerable to assault including rape. The legislation regarding on-campus CCW bans has brought stark and scary light to this situation. I attended CU Boulder where this issue was a sizeable concern and risk for women. One generation later, as my own daughter prepares to attend college, I don't see any appreciable changes to made women safer on campus.

The "radical Republicans" that control this state can use their bias beliefs to make abortion illegal in North Dakota. This will NOT stop abortion! By making it illegal, it will cause the poor to "go back in time" to back-alley, coat hanger abortions. Many women will die; and their blood will be on YOUR HANDS, and the Republican controlled, non-caring about the poor, government of North Dakota. Also, this law was a "cheap shot" at by-passing the Constitutional Right to a safe, legal, abortion. (Roe v. Wade).

Section 5 of House Bill 122 is the "Ultrasound Requirement". Forcing women to be subjected to an unwanted and unnecessary ultrasound, causing undue financial hardship. This bill in its entirety assumes that the women seeking treatment is oblivious to what she is doing, or it is an impulsive act. Leave medical treatment choices to doctors and women.

Women are lawfully entitled to equal wages.

One in three women as well as many men in the Coast Guard are going to fall victim of sexual assault and rape. We had enough of these attacks against our shipmates. Stand with members and veterans of the United States Coast Guard as we work towards eliminating sexual violence in the U.S Coast Guard.
