Daily Kos: Arizona out-crazies other contraception bills. Use birth control, get fired.
Arizona legislators have removed language from a bill which would have made it illegal to fire some for using contraception (even if it is paid for by the employee). The war against reality (and women) continues in the US.
Interesting comments from Lib Dem MPs this week, basically saying the 'sovereign' LD conference can be ignored if the party is in power. Well, that is going to improve voters trust in politics, isn't it? Didn't the LDs keep going on about how democratic their party was? I guess that's gone the way of their 'progressive' policies. They are little more than the Tory-lite party now.
Now they have basically sold the NHS down the river, I hope Labour hangs this round the necks of all LD candidates at the next election.

I have just finished watching the BBC4 series The world against Apartheid: have you heard from Johannesburg?, which bought back memories of supporting the anti-apartheid movement in the 80s and early 90s. The struggle demonstrated that individuals can make a difference if they campaign together - shades of the current UK Uncut movement today.
As someone says in one of the programs - You may feel like you are a drop of water in the ocean, but the ocean is made up of drops of water.
