robert frank- rolling stones footage

photographer robert frank made a documentary, cocksucker blues, about the stones 1972 exile on main street american tour which recorded such dissipation and debauchery that the stones wouldn't agree to it's release.  now, according to legal settlement, it can only be screened once a year and only if frank is present.

i found the related footage above on the great music blog ... stupefaction...  stupefaction also has the full movie but watch it soon if you want to see it 'cause it seems to disappear from sites soon after anyone posts it.

low income women denied cancer screenings by "right to life" groups

how ironic.  and sad.

due to pressure from self proclaimed "pro life" organizations, susan g koman for the cure foundation will no longer fund breast cancer screenings at planned parenthood- lifesaving care for those without other health care options.  to them i say: don't deny poor women the right to life!

link

because of planned parenthood there are fewer deaths from breast, uterine and cervical cancers, and there is less undetected sexually transmitted disease.

planned parenthood's mission is to provide family planning education and contraception, primarily for low income women.  it also provides reproductive health care and cancer screening.

and, thanks to planned parenthood, there are fewer unwanted pregnancies.  so abortions are rarer, yet safer, than they would otherwise be.

THANKS, PLANNED PARENTHOOD!!!!!!!
