		<description><![CDATA[On my drive home from work tonight, I turned the radio to NPR and heard Ken Harbaugh reading a beautiful, touching essay titled, &#8220;After Miscarriage, Missing The Luxury of Grieving.&#8221; Harbaugh said, &#8220;A miscarriage is tragic enough by itself. What makes it worse is the fact that no social custom has evolved to help us through the loss. There is no ceremony, no coming together, no ritualized support.&#8221; Comparing his private grieving post miscarriage to the more public and communal grieving he experienced after his grandfather&#8217;s passing, he said, &#8220;In the months since, I have learned something about this kind of grief. It is not a luxury, but an essential part of healing.&#8221; Harbraugh&#8217;s story moved me and inspired me to share my own experience post-miscarriage. I too grieved silently for months until I eventually found a way to heal. Here&#8217;s how: “I know just how you feel.” Those six simple words meant so much to me even though I had no idea who had written them. They were posted in a chat room and the writer’s screen name held no meaning for me. For weeks, well-intentioned friends and family had been telling me they knew someone who went through exactly [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Anti-woman action and legislation in this country is out of control.  Take a look at what&#8217;s happening right now: Congress The House voted to defund Planned Parenthood, which provides millions of people affordable healthcare including sex education, contraception, and screens for cervical and other cancers. The move came under the guise of trimming the budget. Meanwhile, the Army&#8217;s multimillion dollar sponsorship of NASCAR, was approved. Pending legislation includes H.R. 3, the &#8220;No Taxpayer Funding for Abortions Act&#8220;, which caused an uproar because it included language about &#8220;forcible&#8221; rape. Isn’t all rape forcible? Legislators promised to remove that phrasing but guess what? It&#8217;s still there. And remember, there is no federal funding of abortion today. H.R. 358, the so-called “Protect Life Act,” can be interpreted so that medical personnel can refuse services to a woman in need of an abortion, even if the woman’s life is in jeopardy. State-level Activity Georgia: There&#8217;s a bill on the books in Georgia,  HB 1 which seeks to make prenatal murder unlawful and punishable by death. Miscarriages are exempt from the bill so long as &#8220;there is no human involvement whatsoever.&#8221; And how is that determined? According to the bill, &#8220;When a spontaneous fetal death [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This week Hello Ladies is observing &#8220;Ignorant Male Legislator Week.&#8221; Yesterday, we took note of Virginia Delegate Robert G. Marshall, and his outrageous comments about disabled children and abortion. Today, we focus on Rep. Carl Wimmer of Utah, who sponsored bill HB12 which &#8221;amends provisions of the Utah Criminal Code to describe the difference between abortion and criminal homicide of an unborn child and to remove prohibitions prosecution of a woman for killing an unborn child or committing criminal homicide of an unborn child.&#8221; Here&#8217;s the problem. The bill states, &#8220;A person commits criminal homicide if the person intentionally, knowingly, recklessly, with criminal negligence, or acting with a mental state otherwise specified in the statute defining the offense, causes the death of another human being, including an unborn child at any stage of its development.&#8221; Define &#8220;recklessly.&#8221; This bill could turn women who have miscarriages into murder suspects. Take me, for example. I slipped on the ice when I was pregnant. Was leaving my house between November and March reckless? I was in a fender bender when I was pregnant. Was driving reckless? I ate a salad with gorgonzola cheese in it when I was pregnant. Was eating one serving of blue-veined cheese reckless? [...]]]></description>
