Planned Parenthood response to Oglala Sioux Tribe:
"While we sincerely appreciate President Fire Thunder's genuine support for Planned Parenthood and for women everywhere in South Dakota, we have no intentions of closing our existing clinic in Sioux Falls, nor do we plan to open another clinic at this time. Our doors at the Sioux Falls clinic will stay open, and we will use every resource necessary to ensure continued access to birth control and other essential healthcare services including abortion care. We will fight the abortion ban at every level. All the women of South Dakota can rest-assured that our doors will say open in both Rapid City and Sioux Falls,"

eta: Video from CNN. I think this is a day or two old. They got the fire out pretty quickly.
I wonder if that number goes back up during the 2006 midterms. I'm positive that the Republicans will be pushing the admendment to outlaw gay marriage in time for the midterms.
The rapid drop in opposition looks way too pronounced to be a general increase of tolerance in society to me. I have to wonder if there's not a very strong component of "hey, the people calling for the gay marriage ban are the same yahoos who said that there were WMDs and they were prepared for Katrina!" at work.

I kind of hope they do, considering how the other stuff they've pushed lately has backfired. We'll probably have gay weddings in the National Cathedral before we get the troops out of Iraq.

Frist has announced a vote during the week of June 5.
Yesterday was nuts here at the office, but today is even worse. We're moving tonight/over the weekend and everyone's packing, etc. The movers are already in and moving big pieces like the conference room table, etc. We're getting no work done, which normally I'm okay with, but my dept is on deadline for some reports. I sent my minion home so she could get some work done there.
ChiKat, did you get your laptop w/database, or have they forgotten about you?
I haven't gotten it yet, but I did remind them this morning. I will get it, but I probably won't get it until 5-ish. Otherwise, I'd be headed home, too.
I did, however, wow my co-workers with my new pen. They are all jealous.
If anyone needs to kill some time and can play video (Quicktime) on their computer, I suggest going here [link] and watching the film "Birds" (top-left). It is slow-motion video of dogs flying. Or something. Fun to watch their expressions.
I'm cynical enough to believe that the drop in acceptance of gay marriage is because the far right shills haven't been advertising about how it's going to destroy society, et cetera.
signed, from MA where equal marriage is legal and society is doing quite fine, thank you for asking.
