We, the women of Give Up blog, would like to mention some victories of last night that make us particularly happy. First, we'd like to join the Rev. in celebrating South Dakota's rejection of the abortion ban. Wooohoooo!!! Gains that also merit mention include California's rejection of Prop. 85 , and Oregon's Measure 43 - both parental notification, anti-abortion measures. And, of course, we are excited about Nancy Pelosi - the first woman to be Speaker of the House, and, subsequently, in line to take over if, say, Bush and Cheney were to be struck by lightening.

Also, the scientist ladies can be proud of Missouri, as it decides to protect stem cell research to the best of its ability.

And, with the news about Rummy, it's starting to feel like a good day...
