36. Actually, u would be surprised at how many of

Us younger women do know about the coat hanger. Maybe the really younger generations don't, but I see them on their signs. AND anyone who watches Dirty Dancing would have an inkling as to what an unsafe abortion looked like. The abortion was the only reason that Baby had to learn to dance.

Anyway, the coathanger is still a powerful image for women. It means not having access to safe medical procedures. And really, it's already tough enough gaining access to affordable woman's care and affordable birth control, imagine not having an option to to terminate a rapists baby or terminate a baby that has a major life threatening illness or u and the baby dying because of health effects of being pregnant (WTF would women do in the case of an entopic prelgnancy where the baby is developing in the filopian tube and not the uterus?

As it is we still hear stories of young women becoming preggo, hiding it, giving birth in a bathroom and then tossing the baby in a trash can because society already places such a horrible, judgmental stigma on pre-marital sex, teen pregnancies, and shame for young women... And on the other side of the coin, we do little to help young women know where they can go or gain access to contraception. The Bush yrs and their abstinence only BS only caused more harm than good.
