Have to send out the newsletter today. Have a management meeting. Must make bullet points for the person delivering a speech in my stead. Must check the internal fuse I didn’t know existed on my kiln. With any luck I’ll only have to replace it, not the computer. Must finish the reports for a major funder. Must call the other agency that needs my help. Must buy dog food. Must attend the beanie’s spaghetti supper so I can watch the kids while my daughter helps out.

Can’t wait ‘till Saturday.

The whole kerfuffle with Komen/Planned Parenthood and now the contraceptive controversy got me musing. As women can’t we just respect each others’ decisions? Why must we demonize each other? If a woman wants an abortion, that doesn’t mean another woman must get one, too. If one’s religious beliefs dictates that a woman must not use contraceptives, can we not tolerate that others may choose differently? This woman v. woman thing has always bothered me. I don’t like it when people play politics with medical, personal issues. We need to fight female cancers AND keep reproductive services intact. They are not exclusive goals.

Yech. I hate that.
