Where politics, health and Mother's Day intersect

This Mother's Day two bloggers are organizing a BlogSwarm that I would like to bring to your attention. Bridget Magnus (aka ShortWoman) and The Arch Crone are sponsoring a Mother's Day event to bring attention to the women who are victims of not being able to get an abortion. You can read more
about it here.

If you read ShortWoman's post you'll see that this BlogSwarm is in response to a pro-life publicity stunt, a "funeral procession" in honor of aborted fetuses.

See, there's a lot of talk about those fetuses, and there's a lot of talk about maternal health...BlogHers Act particularly focuses on it, as one example.

But ShortWoman and ArchCrone wanted to draw attention to maternal death. (Which is still shockingly prevalent I might add.)

Me? I'm happy to see people focus on the persons who are already actual persons.
