drive up there for one of these.

2. A neighbor and I just e-mailed about this...

we're arranging a group to go to the next one. This latest on birth control is f*cking infuriating:

North Carolina Birth Control Bill Protested By Women In 'Mad Men' Garb

...a bill that would allow employers and pharmacists to refuse to cover or dispense contraception for moral reasons. If passed, the law would violate President Barack Obama's contraception mandate, which requires employers to cover birth control at no cost to women, and would effectively reverse a 14-year-old state law requiring all employers who cover other prescription drugs to also cover contraception.

...

Despite the protest, the Republican-controlled committee approved the bill by a vote of 8 to 6, continuing the North Carolina General Assembly's streak of advancing bills that limit reproductive rights.
