This year has been a depressing one for reproductive rights activists in the US, with a record number of restrictions being legislated in the first half of 2011 alone.
The Onion managed to bring a smile to my face today, with this article highlighting the ridiculousness of such restrictions. I’m not trying to make a joke out of a serious situation, but this has allowed me to think about what has for most of the year been too depressing to even contemplate. Cheers, onion writers.

We’re just trying to be exactly the opposite of China by restricting abortion rights. But in doing so we end up being the same by having restrictions over people’s reproductive rights. Shit. http://rawfulnews.com/

Interesting point. This might be a slight misinterpretation, but there’s some great commentary on how restricting choice doesn’t reduce sex-selective abortions, at the Abortion Gang blog. Thanks for the comment
