And a grassroots network was born...

Yo! I must admit this is pretty exciting stuff. We, Students for Reproductive Choice, are officially a part of the cyberspace grassroots network, blogging our way closer to reproductive freedom and choice.

Students for Reproductive Choice formed fortuitously as an offshoot of Truman State University's VOX: Voices for Planned Parenthood group. In VOX, we focus on promotion of good reproductive health habits. We sponsored a Gardasil night at our Tri-Rivers Planned Parenthood clinic in Kirksville, Missouri, we hand out "health packs" on campus, and in the past have held VOX talks on issues such as women in the media.

Students for Reproductive Choice was born after a desire to adopt a more political voice for choice, something that we could not do as VOX. We figured a good way to do this was to jump on the blogging bandwagon and start doing some work on the internet.

Keep in mind we are in the early phases of our blogging project but we hope to bring you a variety of Truman State University pro-choice voices speaking on a diverse range of reproductive health topics in the near future. Stay tuned and thanks for reading!
