RU-486 was approved five years ago to the day

On September 28th, 2000, after a long 12-year battle, the U.S. government approved the use of the abortion pill RU-486. Known also by it's tradename Mifeprex (Dance Laboratories), it has been used by more than 460,000 women since the FDA's approval.

Communists everywhere celebrate and seek to extend the reproductive rights of women as part of the struggle for women's liberation through socialist revolution.

I am Musa. I was born and raised in New York City although my parents are from Santurce, Puerto Rico--the oldest remaining colony of the United States. Puerto Rico was also the largest colonial possession until the bloody occupation of Iraq in 2003.

The Iraqis are fighting hard against the colonizers. As an oppressed minority, a class-conscious worker, and a communist revolutionary, I support the Iraqi's resistance against their foreign occupiers!

I am a sympathizer of the League for the Fourth International, and encourage those interested in contributing to the construction of a revolutionary workers party built on the program of international world communist revolution like that of V.I. Lenin and Leon Trotsky to join us. What is urgently needed is a party that can function as the tribune of all the oppressed by waging organized struggle against capitalism--the basis for poverty, racism, sexism, gay bigoty.
