South
Dakota attacks women's rights
On Feb. 22, South Dakota lawmakers approved a
bill which makes it a felony for doctors to perform an abortion
unless it is to save the life of a pregnant woman. South Dakota
is the first state in at least 14 years to pass such a severe,
far-reaching ban. The bill was signed on Mar.7 by the Governor
of South Dakota, Mike Rounds, and is scheduled to take effect
on July 1. “I’ve indicated that I’m pro-life,
and I do believe abortion is wrong and that we should do everything
we can to save lives,” said Rounds; “If this bill
accomplishes that, then I am inclined to sign the bill into
law.” [More]

Vagina Monologues: Restoring sexual
balance
“If you could dress your vagina, what would
it wear? If it could talk, what would your vagina say? How many
of you have looked at your vagina?” These are the opening
questions of The Vagina Monologues, a world-renowned play that
was staged recently at University of Hawai‘i-Manoa. Based
on interviews of hundreds of women, the play dives into the uncomfortable,
taboo, mysterious, comedic, heartrenching, and self-realizing
issues and emotions of women. It is a montage of stories and
monologues of women. The play first introduces the audience to
the word: vagina, by offering different opinions regarding it: “Vagina – who
came up with that name? It sounds like science terminology for
some deadly disease. I don’t know, but it sounds like a
word I don’t want to say often.” The play makes a
priority of using the term as often as it can. [More]
