I know everyone is working/busy but if you happen to be unemployed or have a long lunch break, the National Lawyer's Guild Reproductive Rights Committee will be hosting a viewing of "Rosita". Q & A with the director will follow (she happens to work at Temple!). It will be held at noon on September 30th. I'd be happy to provide more explicit information to anyone who is interested.
ROSITA, an hour-long documentary by award-winning filmmakers Barbara Attie and Janet Goldwater, traces a young girl's journey from innocent victim to unwitting victor. When a nine-year-old Nicaraguan girl becomes pregnant as a result of a rape, her parents — illiterate campesinos working in Costa Rica — seek a legal "therapeutic" abortion to save their only child's life. Their quest pits them against the governments of Nicaragua and Costa Rica, the medical establishment, and the Catholic Church. When their story gains international media attention the repercussions ripple across Latin America and Europe.
If people can't make it and are interested in viewing the film I would be happy to host a screening and discussion some time in the future.
Also, for those who were asking, here is my favorite zucchini bread recipe!
3 eggs
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1/2 yogurt (soy or regular)
2 cups sugar (white will dissolve better)
2 cups grated zucchini (I use closer to 2 1/2 or 3)
1 teaspoons vanilla extract
3 cups unbleached flour
3 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
Preheat oven to 325. Lightly butter and flour two loaf pans.
In a bowl, beat eggs. Mix in oil, yogurt and sugar. Mix in zucchini and vanilla. Combine the rest of the ingredients before stirring into the egg mixture. Divide batter into prepared pans.
Bake for 60 minutes.
Share with friends, or if you don't like to share this bread freezes well.
If you want to make it vegan, egg replacer will work! But make sure you double up (6 "eggs") and mix while the water is still warm.
