I share with you a response I wrote To Thich Nhat Hanh's serious essay entitled In One Hundred Years there will be No Humans on the Planet." . Serious words indeed. And, my essay is equally serious . . .My aim is to inspire women to dare to reclaim their/our power in this moment of deep crisis. It is 15:44 minutes long. . .This time of year feels portentous as we anticipate another new year in our unfolding drama of loss and grave concerns for what may lie ahead for we creatures on planet earth.

In recent years, pornography has become increasingly violent, cruel, degrading toward women and the broader culture has been pornified. The trafficking of millions of women and girls as literal chattel in the international sex industry. At the same time a Christian fundamentalist-driven assault is imperiling abortion, birth control, real sex education, and women's lives. Abortion doc tors are killed. Women who seek abortions or even birth control--are stigmatized. 2011 saw the largest spate of legal restrictions on abortion since Roe v. Wade in 1973.
