Bulletin: Reproductive rights battlegrounds: "Media highlight five other reproductive rights fights on their way In 2016" (including self-induced abortion, "personhood" laws, and the possibility of murder charges);......... "In 2015, state legislatures proposed nearly 400 anti-choice bills with the aim of restricting reproductive rights, part of a wave of anti-choice attacks that were assisted in part by a smear campaign launched against Planned Parenthood by the Center for Medical Progress. As many media outlets are reporting, 2016 has the markings of being an even more dangerous year for women's health, with two high-profile Supreme Court cases to be decided and a litany of contentious state-level attacks on reproductive rights." (Bravo to 'Media Matters for America' for this excellent research piece. HL);
