DESCRIPTION:You’re invited to a Press Conference and Rally to Fight the Anti-Choice 
 Bigots!  ***10 years ago Religious Zealots would not step foot infront of 
 OUR Clinics.  Now, they are emboldened.  We need to show up and be a voice 
 for freedom in San Francisco     These people want to stop women from being 
 able to get into the clinic and we need to be there to KEEP OUR CLINIC 
 OPEN!    When?  This Saturday, July 23rd at 9AM.     Where?  Planned 
 Parenthood on Eddy St. (Between Van Ness and Franklin)     Who?  Confirmed 
 speakers include:  Susan King, SF Green Party, Vicki Leidner, Code Pink, 
 Nancy Reiko Kato, Bay Area Radical Women, Lichi D’Amelio, International 
 Socialist Organization and patient at Planned Parenthood Golden Gate     
 Why?  So many reasons!  First, fanatical right-wing organization, the 
 American Life League, has sent their so-called “Crusade for Life” to 
 San Francisco.  A cursory glance at their websites, http://www.all.org and 
 http://www.crusadeforlife2005.com, and you will find that they are on a 
 mission to end legal abortions and take us back to the Dark Ages of deadly 
 back-alley abortions.  A woman’s right to self-determination over her own 
 body, her own future, and her own safety is of no importance to them 
 whatsoever.  Even in the cases of rape, incest, or if the woman’s health 
 or life is at stake.  They’re also opposed to birth control and sex 
 education!  They showed up to Planned Parenthood last Saturday where they 
 were outnumbered and confronted with signs and unapologetic chants for 
 every woman’s right to a safe, legal abortion.  If they show up AGAIN, we 
 should let them know AGAIN that San Francisco is a pro-choice town!  Either 
 way, there is a group of anti-choicers who show up there on a regular basis 
 – unopposed!    Second, George W. Bush just nominated John Roberts to 
 fill the vacancy, left by Sandra Day O’Connor, for the Supreme Court.  
 This man is a dedicated anti-abortionist who spent a good portion of his 
 legal career trying to overturn Roe v. Wade.  He is also a friend of 
 Operation Rescue, a home-grown, right-wing, terrorist network that is best 
 known for physical harassment of women trying to enter abortion clinics, 
 bombing abortion clinics, and killing and maiming nurses and doctors who 
 provide safe abortions for women.  With no potential for a filibuster from 
 the Democrats, all signs are pointing to his swift confirmation.  We have 
 to have our voices heard.      And if that weren’t enough – California 
 is introducing a Parental Notification Initiative that will be on the 
 ballot this November.  It’s called PROP 73 – and, if passed, it will 
 result in the DEATHS of countless young women, too desperate and scared to 
 talk to their parents about their situation.       That’s why we’re 
 saying ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!    NO to John Roberts!  NO to PROP 73!  And NO to 
 the “Crusade for Life”!   \n
