You've already heard. They're redefining rape. Attacking the right to choose. Belittling victims of violence. The war on women is escalating and women's reproductive rights are in question. But the assault on women does not stop there - it extends to the workplace, and is multi-dimensional with political, economic and legal aspects. It's not enough that women already don't have the same rights and privileges as men - the war on women would like to take away what rights and freedoms we currently have gained.

An incident at the Carson City Detention Facility on Monday afternoon led to felony allegations of battery by a prisoner to be added to the list of allegations for two prisoners: Lauren Kaye Smith and Kelly Lynn Davis.

Rick Santorum — “Prenatal testing, particularly amniocentesis, I’m not talking about general prenatal care...We’re talking about specifically prenatal testing, and specifically amniocentesis, which is a procedure that actually creates a risk of having a miscarriage when you have it, and is done for the purposes of identifying maladies in the womb. And which in many cases, in fact most cases, physicians recommend, particularly if there’s a problem, recommend abortion.

The new fitness student often finds it difficult to complete a pull-up or push-up and may strain for even an inch of lift. There are good reasons why these moves are hard to accomplish.

The Nevada Prolife Coalition would amend the state constitution to protect “the unalienable right to life of every prenatal person.” Simply put, it would define life as beginning at conception.

The Honorable Judge James E. Wilson determined that the description of the effect of this bill was nowhere near adequate. He did not say that the measure was illegal, however, but he did order NPC to substitute the following language into the initiative before they collect signatures:

In the United States a political party does not become the majority party in this country by becoming ideologically pure. They become the majority by becoming larger, inclusive, and superior to their political opponents not only in size, but should also be anchored in and unafraid of intellectual and discursive dialogue, devoid of reactionary emotionalism. Then and only then, can conservatism present and extend to the electorate our concepts in such a way that we will be accepted by the majority of our fellow citizens.

Nevada Health Centers Receives $100,000
For Mobile Mammography Unit from the National Breast Cancer Foundation

Planned Parenthood evokes strong reactions in most people. The name has been in the media a lot lately; from the many attempts to rescind their funding at a federal level to the recent fiasco with the Susan G. Komen Foundation, nearly everyone has the name at the tip of their tongue these days. With that in mind, it's not too surprising that 100 to 150 people crowded into the new Carson City Planned Parenthood clinic to check out the new digs at their open house Monday night.

Join hosts Laura Fitzsimmons, Pam Graber, and Maggie Tracey at the Carson City Planned Parenthood on Monday, February 13, from 5 - 7 p.m. for an open house. Their new facility is located at 1201 North Stewart Street, suite 120.

Planned Parenthood offers several services to the community, including mammograms, women wellness checkups, STD screening and treatment and HPV vaccinations, as well as contraception options. Come to the center and see for yourself; there will be tours, wine, refreshments, and "love kits" for all.

I was busy some other place when "Star Wars, The Phantom Menace" opened in 1999 in the USA. Lucky me. Not so lucky now when I went to see the reworked original decked out in 3D. It's a corny movie and the 3D adds little to the viewing except for the $3 extra per ticket. At the Galaxy Fandango in Carson City you can see the release without 3D and you won't be missing much.

Carson City Sheriff's deputies arrested two women early this morning after a traffic stop that netted a half pound of suspected methamphetamine.
