NARAL Pro-Choice America
What does it mean to be Pro-Choice? It means defending the rights of women to prevent unintended pregnancy with education and birth control, to choose legal abortion, and to access the pre-natal care they need to have healthy children.

oh, well said, Liz! I completely agree--people are always talking about what "other" people could/should be doing. The worst thing on tv is them falling over the family of 18 or so in arkansas....this is NOT something to congratulate them on, they should be ashamed of overbreeding!

I love Naral, and I"m extremely pro-choice and pro Planned Parenthood, but don't pick on people's families, please. It gave me the creeps during the Zero Population Growth era (the early 70's when I was pregnant...2.2 times) and it gives me the willies today. Everyone does the best they can, lay off of their kids.

The US Conference of Catholic Bishops needs to take a flying leap. They would surely be singing a different tune if they stopped receiving Federal dollars-and maybe they should! Hypocrits and liars - every last one of them.

OK, let's try a different tack.

What is gained by referring to male legislators as "dictating penises"?

What is gained by pissing off any potential allies who might be on the fence, or any allies you currently have who happen to be male?... Read More

That's my objection. It's negative, prejudicial, inflammatory unnecessary language that drives a wedge between the pro-choice movement and potential allies.

It does absolutely nothing to advance pro-choice causes, and it reflects poorly on the person making the slur -- and by extension, the cause they're associated with.

And I agree that when there's more parity between males and females in the legislature, this probably won't be an issue.

Bart Stupid( that should be his last name)is a member of that misogynist Christian cult, The Family. Those who voted for the Stupak amendment were more than likely also members of this group. We need to investigate this group.

We need to make sure that we are CLEAR...we are not asking for the government to pay for a woman right to choose. Having said that, we are not going to give up our right to have a choice! I hope anyone thinking about voting for health care reform that has the Supack-Pitts amendment will remember...we will hold them accountable!

On November 14, 2009, thousands of Californians will be united in a common cause as we march on the state capitol building to demand a return to traditional values as part of our petition kick-off event.

Participate in democracy the American way, by shouting angrily, using inflammatory rhetoric and memorizing jingoistic slogans to chant mindless or perhaps misspell on signs.

We will assemble in Cesar Chavez park, reclaiming it from its Marxist heritage, then march the three blocks to the capitol building. Once there, there will be speakers and our signature event — a mass renewal of wedding vows on the steps of the capitol, reminding the legislators within that God said you should cling to your wife, and that anyone who suggests otherwise deserves a good spanking....

I just finished reading Jane Hamsher @ FDL and she's 100% right: no more $$$ to NARAL or PLanned Parenthood because you do not penalize Dems or who vote against women's rights. We are abbout to losse right to abortion in the HEalth Care Bill and NARAL has no real voice. I will send future donations elsewhere.

Well, I just finished responding to a letter campaign from MoveOn telling the Senate that any Democrat that does not support an Up/Down vote should be stripped of any committees they chair. Stripping them of power is a beginning of penalties for bad actions. The burning question should be how do we stop the extremists who insist that all people... Read More take their road or no road at all? The power of the vote still stands first and speaking out in public in numbers can also help. But, right now we are not stuck. Things are moving slowly but if we support our causes and focus on key points and don't get distracted with in-fighting we may yet win the day! NARAL has a phone bank going and I can tell my Representative what I tell my Senator as above.
