Hollywood Feminist of the Day: Cynthia Nixon

Nixon is speaking out about the anti-choice restrictions in the health care bill.

“It’s a very basic female right that we need to protect,” Nixon said. “What’s so frightening about this Stupak ban is that he’s found a backdoor way to basically not cover abortion for the vast majority of American women.”

No one wants to encourage anyone to have an abortion. One wants to encourage that if you have to make this very difficult decision, that the difficulty of the decision isn’t compounded by having to hide it from people, and having to find a way to pay for it and having to go across state lines to get it.

It’s hard enough. It’s a hard enough decision and we don’t need to make it harder.

Way to go Cynthia.  She is out there on gay marriage, public school issues and now abortion.  Other women should follow her lead.
