(More) A Cause Bigger Than Any Scandal

"Monday was a strange day in Albany. New York Gov. Eliot Spitzer was scheduled to give a major address to close to 1,000 people, most of whom were women or teens. They were gathered to support and lobby for a reproductive rights bill in the Empire State Plaza's strange, iconic building known as The Egg. It is said to be the most progressive such bill introduced by a governor, guaranteeing a woman's right to an abortion, among other protections.
New York was one of only three states to legalize abortion before Roe v. Wade. JoAnn Smith, CEO and president of Family Planning Advocates of New York State, organized Monday's event. She talked about the pre-Roe days: "Women were dying—doctors saw it in the hospitals, clergy saw it in the families they were serving, in real people's lives. So it was really the clergy and the doctors who were doing the early organizing. They made New York safe for women as they made their choices on reproductive health care." In fact, the first abortion clinic was run by clergy in New York City, called Clergy Consultation Service. Now, nearly 40 years later, with a U.S. Supreme Court ever closer to overturning Roe v. Wade, Spitzer was working with women's rights activists from around the state to update New York state's law.
The New York state Assembly was also slated to vote Monday on the Healthy Teens Act. Rabbi Dennis Ross, in Albany to push the bill, said: "The Healthy Teens Act ... would provide comprehensive, age-appropriate, medically accurate and 100 percent truthful information about sex to teens. We believe in knowledge. We believe in people knowing about themselves and about their world. And the Healthy Teens Act would give teens that information and capacity that they urgently need." Urgently, indeed: The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention just released a report that one in four girls and young women between the ages of 14 and 19 has a sexually transmitted disease. One in four....
People had come in from all over the state. A number of young people, teen peer counselors, had driven in from Buffalo, hours away, where, 10 years ago, Dr. Barnett Slepian, an obstetrician-gynecologist who performed abortions, was assassinated in his home, in front of his wife and kids. The assassin, James Charles Kopp, captured in 2001, was affiliated with the anti-abortion group the Lambs of Christ.
Back at Monday's events, amid red, white and blue balloons above every table, from which people would soon head out to lobby their legislators, it was announced that Spitzer had canceled, with rumors that he was sick. Lt. Gov. David Paterson took the podium. In his typical, casual, folksy style—he doesn't read from a teleprompter, as he is legally blind—he lauded the citizen activists, the young people especially, for coming to their state capital to take an active role in their government. After his talk, he held an impromptu press conference. The local Fox TV affiliate was dogging him, asking him how he would respond to critics of the bill who claimed that it would force Catholic hospitals and individual health-care professionals to perform abortions against their will. He didn't flinch, responding immediately: "That's not true. There is a conscience clause."
When asked if he, as a Catholic, had discussed this reproductive rights bill with his cardinal, he said he had, several times. Paterson said he had told the cardinal: "I am pro-choice. I go to bed at night, I wake up in the morning, with a clean conscience." He spoke with the same forcefulness he brings to other issues like gay rights and police brutality. Nine years ago, in March 1999, after African immigrant Amadou Diallo died in a hail of 41 police bullets, then-Sen. Paterson was arrested at New York City Police Headquarters as he protested police brutality.
He wrapped up the news conference just before noon Monday. New York's progressive, blind, Catholic, African-American lieutenant governor, David Paterson, might not have known it then, but he was mere minutes away from receiving the call with the news that Spitzer's alleged use of prostitutes was about to go public.
Soon the storm of the Spitzer Sex Scandal enveloped Albany....
The governor has resigned in disgrace, he has let down his wife and his daughters, he is bringing unknown consequences to the prostitutes he hired, and he let down millions in New York state whose causes he championed. But it is not about one leader, or one body, but about the body politic. It is about grass-roots movements, the only sure way to protect the rights of women and girls.

Natalie is 14 years old, near 15... She has long curly brown hair and hazel eyes, she is the kinda shy person, not that crazy and sociable but when you get to know her she is pretty funny. She is one of the smartest person you could ever meet and she loves her real friends, she is like the most talkative person and she gives the best advices. She had a pretty bad past... her father died when he was 10 and her mother is a workaholic since she had memory and she has no brothers or sisters... she only has her best friend, Karen, who is always with her no matter what the others say... she is a normal teenager, she is not that popular in her school but all the guys flirt with her because she is "hot", that's what everyone says and most of the girls hate them for the same reason, but she doesn't care... she has what she need even if she practically has no parents.. But there is one thing that makes her 'different': she knows those amazing boys, mostly know by the Jonas Brothers... She was best friends with them when they weren't famous, they lived next to each others but then, the fame called and they had to live. They were her big brothers, the ones who really cared about her and really helped with her problems... she remember Kevin like one of the sweetest person she'd ever knew, he was like the dad that she needed even if they were only 5 years and a half apart, he was always there for her, every time, not matter what. Then, Joe... the funniest person alive that could make her smile even if the world was crashing down, he gave her the energy and hope when everything was wrong with those amazing hugs full of love, and last, Nick... Nick was like her twin, she used to spend all day with him, they could talk to eachother without any problems... they were just ment to be. She had always have a crush on him but she never told him, and Nick, well he was completely in love with her, even if it sounds weir at that age but It was true, really true and everyone could tell that... but the years passed and they lost contact, the boys were busy all the time, they become THE Jonas Brothers, they are known by everyone in the world but she questioned herself something that nobody knows, only "them"... -Do they remember me?...
