I can’t start a fb group called RAPE IS NOT A PUNCHLINE
Presumabley because of the word rape in it.
Yet I see so many fucked up rape joke groups on facebook all the time.
I had to change it to Sexual assault is not a punchline.
Just someone join and restore my faith in humanity?
I joined.

– John Labruzzo, claiming that all women are potential abortion addicts. I wish I could make as many bad analogies as the modern GOP. (via forgottenether)

This summer, anti-choice antagonists will be descending upon the town of Germantown, Maryland to terrorize Dr. LeRoy Carhart’s clinic in what they’re calling “Summer of Mercy 2.0.”
The pro-choice response? Summer of Trust!
Activists in MD are calling on pro-choicers nationwide to counter the anti-choice presence from July 30th to August 7th. You can come for part of the...

Say No To Louisiana House Bill 645 (Formerly... →
…put forward by Rep. John LaBruzzo (R – Metarie). The bill would outlaw all forms of abortion, even if it is medically necessary to save the mother’s life. Any woman having an abortion could receive up to 15 years in jail, as could the doctor providing it. The bill was at one point specifically worded so that abortion would be outlawed “to the extent allowed by the Supreme Court.” ...

On Texas’ new sonogram bill, signed by Governor Rick Perry earlier this week:
According to the law, women will not only be forced into the ultrasound process but most will have to wait 24 hours AFTER having one to be able to go ahead with her abortion. There is a caveat for women who live more than 100 miles away—they “only” have to wait two hours. I can’t...

"Abortion Training" Funds Banned By House →
Okay. This is almost laughable. I’m sure most of you have seen it already. But I have to say something.
I put it in quotes because, uh, well, hate to burst your bubble, GOP, but the same procedure used to perform abortions is used for countless other reasons.
Do you know what happens during a miscarriage? Since you voted “yes” on this amendment, GOP, I’m willing to bet...

As if it weren’t bad enough that Republicans want to restrict the conditions in which you can have an abortion, they now want to prevent doctors from even knowing how to perform them in the first place. Congress is set to vote today on an amendment that would stop federal funds from being used to train medical residents from learning abortion...

NJ senator: 6 women's health clinics closed →
thehumorlessfeminist:
A state senator who has gone to the mat with New Jersey’s governor over budget cuts to women’s health centers said Wednesday that six clinics have closed and others have slashed their hours since Gov. Chris Christie eliminated state funding.
Christie cut $7.5 million for 58 women’s health clinics in the current year’s budget.

Every movement needs a flag! What would YOU like...
Been thinking recently that a pro-choice flag would be a great point of unity for all of us.
I don’t know anything about designing flags, but I think the color orange would be a great starting point for several reasons:
it’s the color of clinic escorts everywhere
it represents protection, caution, safety (crossing guards! safe sex!)
it’s bright as hell
it seems to be a...

I’m not a religious person and I’ve never believed in heaven or hell. But there is a hell on Earth.

I believe a woman should be able to choose what happens to her body.
And in being given this choice, she has a happier life, because she doesn’t have to stress about whether or not it is possible for her to have an abortion.
But I’m also pro-life in the sense that when I think about…
I think a lot of people feel similarly. No one likes abortions or...

Texas Passes ‘Emergency’ Anti-Abortion Bill... →
Yesterday, the Texas Legislature passed legislation requiring doctors to perform a sonogram at least 24 hours before an abortion and to describe what the sonogram shows. Only in cases of rape, incest, or fetal abnormality is a woman allowed to bypass that requirement. Texas is facing it’s worst budget crisis since World War II. But apparently, with the nation racing to restrict women’s rights...
