Operation Rescue launches database of abortion providers
Operation Rescue launches database of abortion providers
To recap:
Operation Rescue is an anti-choice group with terrorist ties. Period.
Their senior policy adviser is a convicted clinic bomber.
The man who murdered Dr. Tiller had their phone number in his car.
And now, this. This. I want to cry. I probably will, actually. And that’s what they want, I’m sure. Well, congrats, Operation Rescue. You have successfully instilled genuine, shitting-my-pants fear in me over the idea of clinic escorting tomorrow. I’m going to go anyway, of course, because it’s more important to me than my own life, but make no mistake, everyone: anti-choicers enable terrorists. Yes, even the ones who claim to be opposed to clinic violence. They enable this shit, they funded this website, and they support the people who created it. They are pissing themselves with glee over it, I’m sure.
There is no middle ground here. There is no compromising. They want us dead.
And I ask you, great big internet, where’s Anonymous? Where are the hacktivists? Where are the people who are frothing at the mouth over SOPA/PIPA as an invasion of privacy? Where are the starry-eyed radikewls who are willing to drop their jobs and lives to camp out at Wall Street and have a drum circle?
Honestly? Fuck you if you don’t care about this. Fuck you if you think it’s all about “the economy.” Fuck you if you’re too self-involved to recognize how access to reproductive health care is essential to economic security and social mobility for women, especially WOC. Fuck you if you are not enraged about compassionate physicians having TARGETS PAINTED ON THEIR BACKS BY A TERRORIST ORGANIZATION.
ESPECIALLY those last 2 paragraphs. Where you at Anonymous and Occupiers?
THIS
THIS is why I cannot stand people who say shit to me like “the economy is more important right now” when discussing politics. THIS is why I hate it when people insult me for being a “one issue voter’. THIS is why I want to bite the heads off of people who dismiss me for “only caring about abortion”.
I WISH I could not be a “one issue voter”. I WISH I could vote on something other than abortion.
But I can’t! Because right now in this country if I don’t vote choice, I lose choice.
Hell, if I don’t fit for choice everyday I lose choice.
I had a Libertarian tell me the other day that we, as a nation, had to close the Fed and solve the debt crisis and cut the military budget before we could start on “your unattainable health care/Planned Parenthood thing.” I linked him to an article about Obama’s $450 billion military budget cuts. He said the Prez was probably just doing it for the primaries. OH OK. If Ron Paul did that he’d be a goddamn national hero, but the POTUS is just playing politics or some shit.
I was like, “Unattainable? You know basically every other country has some form of socialized health care, right? And why is my personal liberty, my right to choose, up for debate?” He didn’t respond.
