Pro-Choice people eat brunch

Yesterday, Joker and I took the Bug to NARAL Pro-Choice Connecticut's annual fundraiser, Pro-Choice Men Make Brunch. It's a great event, and we go every year. I love that it turns the pro-choice movement on its head a little, by featuring the men who support it. A number of our state legislators and local politicians are chefs, as are Attorney General Richard Blumenthal, and Chris Murphy, a first-term member of the House of Representatives.

The Brunch is a very positive event, and it brings out the best in all of the participants - chefs and supporters alike. The Bug was the only baby there this year, and she was quite the hit of the party. I think it's important to reinforce that the pro-choice movement is not anti-baby or pro-abortion. It's about women having control over their own reproductive life, sex education and access to birth control, improving reproductive health.
