In response to recent criticism:

We acknowledge that there are strong feelings on both sides of this issue. What we are truly advocating for is the right of a woman to control her own body and respecting women enough to make the best choice for themselves. We believe that to take away a woman's right to choose puts society on a slippery slope, and that it sets a dangerous precedent. Furthermore, we are also advocates for better and affordable birth control, safe-sex, pro-active sex education and inexpensive pre-natal care, as well as better and more affordable services for women after they have given birth, such as maternity and paternity leave, children's healthcare, a living wage and affordable daycare.

As for any personal attacks on us--You have a right to do so, but you do not know us, nor have you made any attempt to contact us to find out why we are doing this and why we are so passionate about it. We are happy to engage in productive discussion that doesn't resort to name calling and bickering. We are smart women, and we believe that the lives of women, the quality of those lives, and the equality of women is worth fighting for.
