The anti-choice folks have been hard at work trying to take away women’s rights to make their own reproductive choices, and are currently in the lead with the top wish being anti-choice.
The current second place wish is pro-choice, and I strongly encourage you to support it: “I wish that Canada would remain pro-choice.”
Voting ends on Saturday, June 30, 2007.
Thanks.
