Maude Mulls Abortion
By Karen Kubby
As part of the Iowa City Public Library's Carol Spaziani Intellectual Freedom Festival, the Public Issues and Education Committee of the Emma Goldman Clinic will host a screening and discussion about an episode of Maude on Tuesday, October 2 at 7pm in ICPL Room A. Maude, the socially controversial, sometimes radical sitcom featuring a strong female lead character played by Bea Arthur, ran on CBS from 1972 to 1978.
In an episode that ran early in the series, the 47-year-old Maude finds out that she's pregnant and decides, with her husband Walter, that she would have an abortion that had just been made legal in New York state.
After the screening of this episode, a discussion will be facilitated by Board members of the Emma Goldman Clinic. Refreshment will be provided.

Choice Under Attack In Iowa By Elizabeth Dilley I am a UCC minister in SW Iowa. Just today, I came across a good article about the (hopeful) death of Abstinence-Only education funding, and thought it might be appropriate to post on blogforiowa. I'm not sure exactly how it works to post stuff onto the website directly, especially links to other pages, so I thought it best to email you first. If there's another way to do it, I'd be happy to learn. Also,
the Religious Coalition for Reproductive Choice of Iowa will host an
All-Options Clergy Counseling Training for clergy of any faith
tradition on October 18th. It is co-sponsored by Planned Parenthood of
Greater Iowa. The training will include topics regarding parenting, adoption or abortion, from a supportive, non-coercive, faith-based foundation without bias for the woman and her spouse, partner, or parents. Accreditation for this training will be provided by the Religious Coalition for Reproductive Choice. Intended audience: clergy and youth ministers of any faith tradition Location: Connie Belin Conference Center, 1168 6th Avenue Des Moines Date & Time: October 18, 2007 from 10:00 am until 4:30 pm Cost: $15.00 This training is sponsored by the Religious Coalition for Reproductive Choice of Iowa and Planned Parenthood of Greater Iowa. Send registration in care of: ERC Training Manager Or email registration to: erctraining@ppgi.org P.O. Box 4557 Des Moines, IA 50305 Peace, Rev. Elizabeth Dilley First Congregational United Church of Christ Red Oak, IA 51566 I ALSO RECEIVED THIS FROM PLANNED PARENTHOOD... Did you know that young women heading back to college this fall are seeing a dramatic increase in their birth control pricing? Pill costs have skyrocketed from an average price for a month's supply of birth control for college women from $5-$10/pack to $40-$50/per pack. Did you know that these price increases may delay or even prevent young women from accessing birth control due to the inability to afford these high costs? Did you know the United States Congress can easily and quickly act to remedy this problem – but so far has refused to do so?

Your opinions and comments matter and Iowa members of Congress need to hear that Iowans overwhelmingly support affordable birth control access. See News stories related to this issue: |
