On January 22nd, join the San Francisco Area Pro-Choice Coalition for a Roe v. Wade Anniversary Demonstration

10 AM Rally at Powell and Market Streets in San Francisco (Powell Street BART Station)
Bring signs! Bring noisemakers! Bring friends!

R vs W will be overturned shortly.
We need hundreds of thousands of marchers, women, men and children, at this celebration of Roe v. Wade, marching, rain or shine, wall to wall on Market Street, as we did to protest the pending second Persian Gulf Massacre by Nazi USA in 2003.
The fascists in the White House and in the Govenor's office need a loud clear message now that we will not tolerate the conversion of this country to fascism, which both Bush and Schwarzenegger are determined to do, aided by the twin party of capitalism, the Democrats, who just certified Bush's second round of election fraud and fully intend to confirm an outspoken war criminal, Alberto Gonzales, to be attorney general.
As to the Nazi in the White House, not only did he and his administration perpetrate the mass murder of 2001 at the World Trade Center, just as the Nazis perpetrated the Reichstag Fire, he is now promoting not only a Nazi, Alberto Gonzales, to be attorney general, but also concentration camps around the world, paid for with our tax dollars, where he will put anyone he does not like, without charges or trials, for life. These are death camps for his political opposition, including those of us who support abortion, labor, civil liberties, civil rights, the environment, broader environmental regulations, free public education for all from age 3 through and including university, national healthcare for all, Social Security, peace, separation of Church and State, the Paletinian liberation struggle, gay liberation, women's liberation, black liberation, freedom of the press and all other media, public records and all other "sunshine" laws, and the elimination of the death penalty, prisons, police and the military. In other words, any one with a decent thought in their heads will be considered a fair target for the presideint to imprison for life without charges or trial in these death camps. This is fascism and it must and can be stopped now.
As to Bush's fellow idiot Nazi, the viciously pro-death penalty, anti-labor, anti-women, anti-gay and anti-environment owner of a fleet of Hummers, California's governor Schwarzenegger, who refers to gay men and all men who oppose him as "girlie men" and nurses (mostly women) with equal contempt for them as workers and as women, and is now busy attacking teachers, also mostly women, as well as being workers, in the capitalist class' attempt to destroy public school education for the workingclass, also needs to see hundreds of thousands of people on the streets of San Francisco as he prepares to launch his attacks on the workingclass.
As the Russian Revolution of 1917 started with mass demonstrations for International Women's Day, so too must the majority, women, lead this second American Revolution to run the fascists out of office with all deliberate speed.
We expect labor to lead this march, as a clear signal that the attacks by the Nazis in Washington and Sacramento that all attacks on labor will be strongly opposed from now on. The reason for all these attacks is because labor is weak and has not been organizing for 55 years. NOW is the time to fight back, before we are all murdered by Nazi USA in concentration camps.

Who said an abortion was something a woman enjoyed. It's not a date stupid!
Of course they're running away from the pro-choice march and heading to Chrissy Field, according to their route map. There is a planning meeting to counter the pro-life marchers. Bring hangers! Here's the scoop:
------------
On Jan. 22 there will be an anti-choice/anti-woman march at the
Embarcadero (meeting at 11AM). (see http://www.walkforlifewc.com for details)
We need people power to come to an EMERGENCY ACTION PLANNING MEETING
to counter-demonstrate!
Sunday January 9
5 pm
Valencia Street Books, Valencia Street between 16th and 17th
(16th Street BART)
The Mission, SF
Please come to coordinate actions and activities to show that the
anti-woman, anti-choice are not welcome in our city!

We are already living in a post Roe v Wade world...and we know that. And it has not deterred us.
Even as we fight to restate the provisions of Roe v Wade and EXAPND the findings of Roe v Wade, we have what we need to ensure that women will be able to access medically safe abortions, regardless of political interference from people like you.

What happened to the eating of the majority of young ?
Dear Nonya-You are so misguided. Roe V Wade may be overturned, but it will never turn the clock back. And we will never go back, no matter what the laws say.
I liked ur article..but i didnt see where it said u need these 200,000 people...id like to join in and learn more....thanks logan <3
Women have a choice to use birth control or not. Once life is created it is murder to end it. Should woman be allowed to kill their 2 year olds because they were irresponsible. No! There are many other alternatives to killing. Murder is murder, and you can call yourselves pro-women but the fact is you just don't want to be told no. Then make the right choice and don't have unprotected sex.
so is every egg. they are life too, no?
How is it kat, that you know so much about when life is life and you should choose for me?
"Murder is murder, and you can call yourselves pro-women but the fact is you just don't want to be told no. Then make the right choice and don't have unprotected sex."
Do condoms break, kat? Do women get raped?
yes indeed murder is murder, this woman, afraid of her physically abusive husband, was murdered by a society without reproductive choice. Her 2 daughters were left motherless:

Plenty of babies for you to adopt! (Assuming that you think that every woman who is raped should be forced to bear the rapist's child.)
Somewhere in America, a woman is raped every 2 minutes, according to the U.S. Department of Justice.
In 1995, 354,670 women were the victims of a rape or sexual assault. (National Crime Victimization Survey. Bureau of Justice Statistics, U.S. Department of Justice, 1996.)
Over the last two years, more than 787,000 women were the victim of a rape or sexual assault. (National Crime Victimization Survey. Bureau of Justice Statistics, U.S.Department of Justice, 1996.)
The FBI estimates that 72 of every 100,000 females in the United States were raped last year. (Federal Bureau of Investigation, Uniform Crime Statistics, 1996.)

Some say love, it is a river
That drowns the tender reed
Some say love it is a razor
That leaves your soul to bleed
Some say love it is a hunger
An endless aching need
I say love, it is a flower
And you it's only seed
It's the heart afraid of breaking
That never learns to dance
It's the dream afraid of waking
That never takes a chance
It's the one who won't be taken
That cannot seem to give
And the soul afraid of dying
That never learns to live
When the night has been too lonely
And the road has been too long
And you think that love is only
For the lucky and the strong
Just remember in the winter
Far beneath the bitter snows
Lies the seed that with the suns love
In the Spring becomes the rose
When the nights have been too lonely, and the road seems too long,
remember the words of
this very powerful song and open your heart, dreams and soul to the
wonders of a life lived
through love rather than fear and watch a beautiful and exciting life
unfold for you.
May your God (or life, if you don't believe in God) bless you with joy,
love and abundance of
spirit to help you on your journey.
hello birmingham
hold me down
i am floating away
into the overcast skies
over my hometown
on election day
what is it about birmingham?
what is it about buffalo?
that the hate-filled wanna build bunkers
in your beautiful red earth
they wanna build them
in our shiny white snow
now i've drawn closed the curtain
in this little booth where the truth has no place
to stand
and i am feeling oh so powerless
in this stupid booth with this useless
little lever in my hand
and outside, my city is bracing
for the next killing thing
standing by the bridge and praying
for the next doctor
martin
luther
king
it was just one shot
through the kitchen window
it was just one or two miles from here
if you fly like a crow
a bullet came to visit a doctor
in his one safe place
a bullet insuring the right to life
whizzed past his kid and his wife
and knocked his glasses
right off of his face
and the blood poured off the pulpit
the blood poured down the picket line
yeah, the hatred was immediate
and the vengance was devine
so they went and stuffed god
down the barrel of a gun
and after him
they stuffed his only son
hello birmingham
it's buffalo
i heard you had some trouble
down there again
and i'm just calling to let to know
that somebody understands
i was once escorted
through the doors of a clinic
by a man in a bullet proof vest
and no bombs went off that day
so i am still here to say
birmingham
i'm wishing you all of my best
oh birmingham
i'm wishing you all of my best
birmingham
i'm wishing you all of my best
on this election day
