Quick follow ups to my comments on your show, Rose:
The bill numbers for the Prevention First Act (so people can start telling their members of Congress to pass it!) are S 21 and HR 819.
Second, here are more of my thoughts on why we must establish women's reproductive rights as civil rights, from an article I wrote for Democracy Journal: http://www.gloriafeldt.com/heartfeldt-politics-blog/2008/12/9/beyond-roe-toward-human-rights-for-women.html.

Here's to a very happy New Year!
