“never again”
This image is one of the most powerful pro-choice images I’ve ever seen. When I saw it in the newspaper I immediately cut it out and hung it on my wall.
This is not my image. I’m using it with permission from Arthur Newspaper.
Ciscentric language, but otherwise well done.Great short film blasting the recent assaults on women’s health and bodily integrity: This Is My Body
Hey! I know a person in this! And this is amazing.
“At the Republican National Convention in Tampa, Samantha Bee learns that government is meant to protect the individual liberties of everyone lacking a uterus.” - The Daily Show
Pro-choice rally in Dublin last night.
I went to a pro-choice rally on Thursday, here are some photos.
Oooh I like the one “If I wanted the government in my womb I’d fuck a TD”
“If you cut off my reproductive choice…I’ll cut yours off!”
“I don’t need government making my health care decisions! I need you making hers!”
“Does this dick make my rights look bigger?”
“Government should be small and unobtrusive…so women don’t notice in their uteruses”
“reproductive rights includes abortion rights, freedom from sterilization abuse, available child-care, living wages or adequate public assistance, access to decent health care, safe, effective, cheap contraception, freedom to be a lesbian and live without discrimination, housing and anything else that gives real support to people to enable them to choose freely” - Karen Stamm, “Strategies for Reproductive Rights”
psh, that’s just absurd.
Eight female state senators in Georgia walked out of the Senate chambers on Thursday to protest two bills that hinder access to abortion and contraceptives. All eight female democratic senators left the chambers together after two bills they oppose passed the Republican-led Senate. From Atlanta’s WXIA, the legislation:
- Prohibits state employees from using state health benefits to pay for abortions
- Does not allow employees of private religious institutions to demand that their insurance policies pay for contraceptives
“We stood together to protest what we feel is absolutely a war on women here in Georgia and we want to sound the alert to Georgians,” said Sen. Nan Orrick.
Republican state senator Joshua McKoon said of the legislation, “What I would say is the war that’s being waged is on a relative minority in this country that has strong beliefs that are protected by the First Amendment.”
The bills now heads to the House, whereboth are expected to pass.
The senators who walked out: Sen. Gloria Butler, Sen. Gale Davenport, Sen. Nan Orrock, Sen. Freddie Powell Sims, Sen. Donzella James, Sen. Miriam Paris, Sen. Valencia Seay and Sen. Horacena Tate. Looks like I’ll be spending my Friday night emailing these senators to thank them for taking a stance on an incredibly important issue.
..did I reblog this already? Well, doesn’t matter, I’m going to reblog it again…
Look at their faces. They’re furious. Also, why is “War on Women” displayed as a puzzled inquiry? It should go without saying that women are suddenly under attack.
