Protect against Title IX and submit a comment by September 12, 2022.

The US Department of Education released their proposed changes to Title IX regulations that would dramatically change the future for women and girls in federally funded activities and programs. There are many negative impacts that will harm girls, women, and families.

A government portal has been set up for you to make a comment submission.  It is very straight-forward and easy to do.  In addition, this governmental body is required to read every submission, large and small – before they can finalize the new “Rule.”  So rest assured, your input will be read and considered.

TAKE A STAND TODAY


By Grace Sailor

I personally want to thank Governor Dennis Daugaard of South Dakota for the law that will take effect on July 1, that requires a 3-day wait for an abortion and is requiring proper counseling and guidance on alternative decisions to keep the fetus. Even though this doesn’t eliminate all abortions, I believe that it will prevent many.

As a social worker and personal friend of those who chose to have abortions, I see the long-term negative emotional impact it can have on a woman. I have personally never met a woman who did not regret choosing to have an abortion. That includes one of my friends who by the world’s standard is an ‘extreme liberal’. She has told me that there is not a day that has gone by that she does not regret her decision to have an abortion and that it “haunts her”. Many girls and women make quick and rash decisions based on fear and lack of knowledge in regards to other viable options, such as considering adoption.

I consider myself an advocate of women rights, but I believe that a woman’s choice is whether or not to have sexual relations. Of course, this statement is  excluding extenuating circumstances such as rape and incest. It is known that sexual relations are capable of creating a life – that is human nature!
