So, I was reading Bust.com today, which is an awesome feminist magazine that you should check out, and there was an article about Obama. Just so you know, I love Obama and basically cried Election Night, because I knew he was a man who loved the ladies genuinely and that he could do awesome things in the White House. And to prove this point, this article was dated for the 23rd on Bust.com:
Un-Gag me with a spoon!
Today Obama lifted the gag order on international groups that offer counseling and abortions to women in other countries. According to a Planned Parentood statement, in the pat 8 years, ‘Clinics have closed, contraceptive supplies have dwindled, and women were left without basic and critical health care services. As a result, there were more unwanted pregnancies and more unsafe abortions. Today, one woman dies every minute of every day due to pregnancy related causes, including unsafe abortion, and over 200 million women in developing countries who wish to delay or end childbearing lack access to modern contraceptives. Those are the women President Obama stood up for today. ‘

Bomb! The article also had a sweet pic of Obama with a Samarai sword.
Hope y'all are enjoying the snow!
