activism

Engaging, mobilizing and building alliances on an issue like abortion can be an uphill climb. But as 2012 rolls in, we want to take a few minutes to remind you about why it is important and suggest a few ways you can go about this challenge.

Hearing Senator Lautenberg describing the proposal of the HR 3 bill "like a third-world country that's requiring women to wear head shawls, cover their faces even if they don't want to do it", made me react and ponder that we don't have to go so far as the Middle East just look down of the border toward Mexico.

Starting Saturday July 17, Operation Save America (creators of the "INTOLERANT" t-shirt) a rabidly fundamentalist sect of anti-abortion fanatics, is calling on anti-abortion forces to "storm the gates of hell" in Charlotte, NC.
