From The Huffington Post:
The U.S. Conference of Mayors, a non-partisan organization made up of representatives from about 1,200 cities across the country, voted on Saturday to pass a resolution in support of women’s reproductive rights and funding for Planned Parenthood.
The resolution outlines the numerous efforts by state and federal lawmakers over the past several years to restrict women’s access to abortion and family planning services, including attempts to mandate ultrasounds before abortions, defund Title X and Planned Parenthood, ban abortions after 20 weeks, jeopardize access to birth control, compel the Internal Revenue Service to audit rape survivors who have abortions and allow hospitals to refuse emergency abortion care to women. The mayors promise to fight back against these efforts in the future and speak out on behalf of their female constituents.
The resolution “affirms the importance of women’s reproductive rights” and “urges Congress and the states to pursue a positive agenda that reaffirms fundamental rights and improves women’s access to safe and comprehensive reproductive-health care.”
Let’s hope the Republicans are taking notice…

woo hoo! BTW, I think you meant “…band together” although “…ban…” is somewhat funny.

Isn’t that the truth? My brain is much faster than my fingers, so I often truncate words and sentences when I type.

Same here… I type something, but my brain is already on the next word/sentence, and thus, words get jumbled-together. Thank goodness for spell-check (not that THAT is correct 100% of the time… 😛 )
Re. the Conference of Mayors…: I sure hope that the message gets out LOUD AND CLEAR, but my expectations/hopes have been beaten down once too often…:/

The mayors are ahead of the regressives overall in supporting more restrictive gun laws. I have signed their petitions when they were presented.
