Molly Ivins in Flames

My day began with a thought for International Womens Day, and it will end with another one. This one is from Molly Ivins, who must have written this piece with her hair on fire; the rage and disgust in it are so palpable and satisfying. I love Molly Ivins. Madly.

If you are a woman, if you are a man who believes women are people too, if you think the South Dakota legislature should all be put on a raft and shipped out to a dead zone in the ocean, please read Molly on said body's legislation on a woman's right to choose. Now to be known in S.D. as a woman's right to go directly to jail should she choose to choose for herself. The Towering Solons of Abortion. Hard to celebrate the advances of women when we have this sort of thing happening in this country, in the year 2006.
