The SF Chronicle
The SF Chronicle, taking a page from the playbook of anti-choice activists, is doing its part to create "personhood" for unborn fetuses. In the story below, the fate of the woman who arguably suffered more profoundly, both physically and emotionally, is submerged under the story of the fetus. This is outrageous. Please consider writing a letter to the Chronicle.

Four big squares marked “vacant” sat alongside photos of remaining board members on the California State Teachers Retirement System (CalSTRS) web site this week. It seems the squares’ former occupants (two Republicans and two Democrats) had the nerve to vote against Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger’s proposal to privatize pensions of all new state workers, including teachers, into a 401(k)-type system starting in 2007, and his proposal to shift onto local school districts the state’s contribution t...
