Loves You Bitches!

Much love to two women taking a stand.

First, you all know I loves me some Pink, but more for her attitude that her actual music. The video for "Stupid Girls", the first single from her soon-to-be released album I'm Not Dead, had me laughing out loud. As copies of the new album are being reviewed we get news of lyrics from a song entitled "Dear Mr. President" which features the Indigo Girls. Kickass! It's scathing:

"how do you sleep while the rest of us cry / how do you dream when a mother has no chance to say good-bye / how do you walk with your head held high / can you even look me in the eye and tell me why""how can you say no child is left behind / we're not dumb and we're not blind / they're all sitting in your cells / while you pave the road to hell""what kind of father would take his own daughter's rights away / and what kind of father might hate his own daughter if she were gay / i can only imagine what the first lady has to say / you've come a long way from whiskey and cocaine" [Via Queerty]>]

More Pink including two mp3s @ popbytes.

But wait! This bitch wins the prize.

After a law banning all abortions, even in cases or rape and incest, was signed into law in South Dakota -- yes that's in the U.S. not Kyrsyzstan -- Cecilia Fire Thunder, president of the Oglala Sioux tribe, decided to take matters into her own hands to protect women's rights. She says she'll open a Planned Parenthood clinic on her property. She told the Native American Times:

"I will personally establish a Planned Parenthood clinic on my own land which is within the boundaries of the Pine Ridge Reservation where the State of South Dakota has absolutely no jurisdiction." [Via DailyKos]

As Queerty notes Cecilia is living up to her name. Expect Oglala Sioux sovereignty to be revoked any day now.
