March 10

Ladies (and gentlemen?) today, March 10, is National Abortion Provider Appreciation Day. (Yes, I know it sounds made up, but according to Planned Parenthood, "March 10 is the anniversary of the assassination of Dr. David Gunn, the first abortion provider murdered. It is a day to remember and honor Dr. Gunn and others who put their lives on the line daily to make reproductive choice possible. Without abortion providers, there can be no "choice."")

Today we should remember Margaret Sanger who made so many advancements in the field of birth control. In fact, she started the American Birth Control League, which later became Planned Parenthood. She received lots of opposition during her time, but she held fast to her beliefs.

Thank you, Margaret Sanger, for being such an Uncommon Women and making the world what it is today.
