Blog for Choice Day is January 22, 2007 -- Jessica Valenti, who is organising this blog activism on behalf of Bush v. Choice, explains this event and how you can participate:
"On January 22nd—the 34th anniversary of Roe v. Wade—NARAL Pro-Choice America is asking pro-choice bloggers to raise the profile of reproductive rights issues in the blogosphere and the media, and to let everyone know that a woman's right to choose is nonnegotiable.
"So blog for choice on January 22nd, and this year's topic is a simple one: tell us, and your readers, why you're pro-choice.
"You can sign up for Blog for Choice Day here and download a Blog for Choice Day sidebar graphic (to let your readers know that you're participating) here."
Blog for Choice Day started last year, and I thought it was a resounding success in terms of raising awareness and showing support. You can read some of the posts I gathered from last year's event: "Blog for Choice Day round-up".

Thanks!
Melinda, are you aware of any place that is pulling together the Blog for Choice blogs? I would love to point readers to a comprehensive list. I saw a few listed already at Bush v. Choice - is that where we should go?
Here's my pro-fertility, pro-choice post at Fertility Notes:

Thank you Melinda for reminding everybody. With the raising number of women blogs, we should be able to raise a little more awareness on such an important topic.
Great Opportunity
I like this post -- it is easy to forget how much power we can have using our blogs as a space to promote and support change. I'm in. Thanks for letting us know about it!
