January 22, 2012: Stand Up for Abortion and Birth Control
 |
| This week's Revolution |
IT IS TIME!
January 22 and 23, on the 39th anniversary of the Roe V. Wade Supreme Court Decision which legalized abortion, come to DC to:
Stand up for Abortion and Birth Control
39 years after women won the right to abortion, this fundamental right is hanging by a thread.
- Nearly 90% of U.S. counties have no abortion provider.
- 2011 saw the greatest number of restrictions passed at the state level - parental notification laws, mandatory waiting periods, gestational bans, etc. - restricting this access even further.
- Doctors who provide abortions are hunted, terrorized and killed.
- And the stigma and shame cast on women who get abortions is greater than ever.
But that is not all.
ABORTION ON DEMAND AND WITHOUT APOLOGY!
Fetuses are not babies.
Abortion is not murder.
Women are not incubators.
A woman who cannot decide for herself when and whether to have a child is not free. Forced motherhood is female enslavement. And when women - half of humanity - are not free, then no one is free.
