The Cartoon Movement is an international site that publishes editorial cartoons and comics selected by their readers. Right now they hve an interesting comic by Susan Cagle called What Every Woman Should Know. It is about the deceptive practices of "crisis pregnancy centers" that often advertise themselves as medical facilities to help women. As Cagle explains, "their undisclosed (and deceptive) goal is not to
provide women with the medical information they need to make a decision,
but rather to dissuade and often delay them to the point where they
have fewer choices." The comic deals with these types of centers found in California, but they can easily be found here in New York also. The comic is only eighteen pages long, but it is a very informative read on a subject that effects all New Yorkers.What Every Woman Should Know
