Roe v Wade Anniversary Blog-a-thon

So, I am late to this since I have been on the road for a few weeks, but I wanted to point your attention towards a week long blog-a-thon at Amplify, that is ending tonight to celebrate the anniversary of Roe v. Wade. I must say it is full of really compelling pieces by a diverse group of men and women on why Roe is so important for us.
Check it out and if you decide to post something to it please put the link in comments. Also, if you have any posts you have done in the last week about Roe v. Wade, feel free to promote them here as well.
I didn’t write anything new this year, but this is my piece last year about why I believe in a woman’s right to choose, published at Wiretap Magazine.
An excerpt about why I vote pro-choice.

I vote pro-choice because I believe that women have the right to choose what happens to their bodies. I vote pro-choice because I love myself, my friends, sisters and my communities that would be deeply hurt by any more cutbacks to their reproductive rights. I vote pro-choice because I believe that women have the right to live healthy lives and be treated as citizens that get basic human rights. I vote pro-choice because I believe women should not have to die from lack of access to reproductive health care. I vote pro-choice because I believe we can win, because I believe we can take the debate back and we can organize a successful movement for reproductive justice. I vote pro-choice because I am sick of women having to continue to stay poor and if one choice can help them get out of the cycle, I support it. I vote pro-choice because I believe government that doesn’t allow half its constituents basic human rights–is not a democracy–and therefore treats women as second class citizens. And finally, I vote pro-choice because I don’t believe we live in a time we can afford to not be pro-choice.

Why do you vote pro-choice?
