The Guardian had an article yesterday naming several prominent Republican women who are speaking out against Bush and his "wacky, far right" position on women's rights.
Linda Binder, an Arizona Republican state senator and MaryLou Halliburton, of the family who started the company Cheney led before becoming VP are two of many Republican women who are speaking out against the administration, marching in pro-choice rallies, or contributing funds to Kerry rather than Bush.
Earlier this month I wrote about the contradiction inherent in Bush's supposed "pro women" stance and his actions and beliefs regarding abortion and the global gag rule. I'm glad to know that there are smart Republican women out there who also see the wrongheadedness of Bush's position and are willing to stand up and do something about it.
If change is to come, it will have to come from the outside. It will have to come from the margins. -Wendell Berry _______________________________________
