No More Questions. Anti Choice is a Freakshow. Get Over It. Act.
Keep the voting process as clean as you can in your districts. Complain, make calls, sign petitions, get good reps in office. Get your friends to be active with Planned Parenthood. Make one call today; write a check today.
Broadsheet should be devoting a lot of space to Abortion Under Seige in America. Yes, 'mommyhood might be boring' but it pales in comparison to this.
Feminists should be making this their number one issue.
Those 3 brave souls in MS--Betty Thompson, Susan Hill and Dr. Booker--should be given around the clock protection, money, help. They should do their procedures in the middle of the night if that's what it's going to take. You have to make the fight that focused; that tiny. It's come down to one clinic and a handful of people. Don't waste your energy on men and children with signs. They are unreachable. Don't be in awe of them; do not wring your hands anymore. Get on the phone and ask Planned Parenthood what you can do to help; how you help those people in MS.
I do disagree with Ms. Thompson when she says women will do whatever it takes to get their abortions. That's just not true. It's impossible for impoverished, misled, and manipulated women to get their abortions. In MS it's a challenge for ALL women to obtain abortions.
I've posted a bazillion times on this.
Get your car tuned up for the underground railroad. Women will need help to get to states where they can obtain safe abortions. It will come to that.
Thanks Salon for making this your main story.
