The war against women

by Elizabeth Creely (elizabeth creely [at] yahoo.com)
I'm posting this in the anti-war section because it isn't working for me at all, anymore to see the general erosion of reproductive rights and the utter lack of reproductive justice placed within the unnacceptably discreet catagory of women's rights/women's pages.
News Program Unmasks Truth About Abortion
By Bill Fancher and Jenni Parker

(AgapePress) - A groundbreaking new television series is about to expose viewers across the nation to the many faces and voices of real women who have experienced abortion and who want to see an end to the
legal murder of unborn children in America.

The Justice Foundation has put a breakthrough television program called Faces of Abortion on the Sky Angel satellite network. Foundation director Alan Parker calls this presentation a unique new weapon in the fight against legalized abortion. "It's the first time in American history," he says, "that women who want to see Roe v. Wade reversed are going on television three times a week to tell the stories of what their abortion did to them so that America will know
the truth -- that abortion hurts women."

In addition to the Faces of Abortion television series, Parker says a corresponding radio program is also airing with the same title. He notes that several of the women featured in the series were at a recent news conference telling their stories of post-abortion depression, sterility, suicide attempts, miscarriages, still-born births, increased chances of breast cancer, and other abortion-related medical problems that have devastated their lives, and the program is
already producing positive results.

"We've had many women call us after watching Faces of Abortion,because a few episodes have already begun to air," the Justice Foundation spokesman says, pointing out that many women confess they felt liberated by hearing these women talk about their experiences. "They say, 'I thought I was alone in my shame and my sorrow and the
secrecy,'" he explains, adding that many women open up and admit their own pain "when they hear other women are willing to come out and join
their sisters in telling the truth that abortion hurts women."

The program, officially launched last week, is part of an initiative called Operation Outcry, through which women whose lives have been devastated by abortion are being given the opportunity to share their stories with America. Parker says he expects this program will help
turn the tide in the battle against legalized abortion.

I would like to ask these right wing pro-"horrible life for unwanted or sick with genetic differences children" this: how many children they are prepared to adopt EACH, if women are no longer allowed to choose to terminate pregnancies?

Are they going to reestablish a welfare state, with orphanagaes and lifelong mental health care for unwanted children who have to somehow be part of this society? Or are they going to have families of 10 or more children, as they rape their wives and take in other people's progeny?
by we'll just live with the churches
as they bring the battle against us to our very doorstep.

of course, a known national alliance correspondent is already here, so why not?

maybe it's time to suggest an evangelical section or focus page here...
The war against womyn will never be won unless womyn realize that marches,signs, books,petitions should back up a Political Party of their own. A movement must move to get somewhere. If you're not getting there - on the contrary, you're moving backwards- then it's time to reconsider the strategy.
The increasing militarization of culture by the Patriarchy is a killing machine. It must be dismantled and from its ashes a new culture must spring up. AND ONLY WOMYN CAN DO IT.
Intelligent, sensitive, progressive men know that the only hope for the world is the womyn. We must conquer fear by effectively organizing a Party with a militant base.

"Progressive Womyn's Political Party"

Great idea!!! Time to support the Womyn dominated by Islam
by or condi (she's even more oppressed, right?)
or, um.... well, what are you proposing to accomplish by voting, exactly?

It's been up for 37 hours so far. How much longer?

you do advocate the squelching of points of view you're uncomfortable with, while condemning those who do the same (and running against them).

though you've dodged the wendy campbell question all along.

and then you got the nerve to go off on sue for questioning the motives for your candidacy? lame.

I hope people understood that I am pro-choice and I was posting something anti-choice...I'm unclear as to whether or not folks get that? Is that why this post was hidden? If so I'm horrified.
