abortion funding? or NIJOLI in THE NATION

oh, and the contact info was

equalaccessfund at the gmail with a dot and a com

Good stuff, nijoli - but surely you could have given propz to your 1p3 homiez with a "NO POPEL SHOT" shoutout?

(But srsly, I didn't know you did such an awesome job!)

the NO POPEL SHOT campaign needs funding, as well.

The doctor who delivered me decades ago is still, I think, performing abortions. He gets protesters outside his office.

Last week one of the letters the editors of the paper said that one of the horrible things about abortion is those millions of unbaptized babies stuck in Limbo. Uh, okay.

Yeah someone needs to get up to date on their catechism. I'm sure those babies are all in hell.

OH NOES etc

oh my - those "limbo babies"! what a hilariously bizarre thing to be worried about!

They just need to do abortions w/holy water syringes, hello.

No sorry to be so glib. It's FUNNY and awesome coincidence: I was just thinking how I'd like to donate to a cause just like this! All I could think of was Planned Parenthood, who actually did not much at all for me when I was in that situation. and I thought (15 minutes ago), 'Once I get on the internet, I'll see if there's some reputable charity doing that.' And there IS! Thanks so much for bringing this to my attention & working to help the cause! :D

You saved me from the horrors of a GOOGLE SEARCH.

Better than limbo.

Someone should break Gabby's nose.

Just sayin'.

paypal address is equalaccessf✧✧✧@gm✧✧✧.c✧✧ for anyone who missed it in the blog post (like I did).

does ILX 'fix' all e-mail addresses now?

Yeah, that's been the case since the February upgrade.

THANKS AGAIN FOLKS

Ooh. Thanks to who sent a donation based on this post. I am not sure who you are on here, but I know from the email used that it had to have been ilx folk.

My donation funds have been exhausted for this month but I'll keep you in mind for next payday. :)

Thanks for the thoughts despite the financial crunch.

I was mainly just bragging about being in The Nation, but the donation and support as been a nice bonus for the preg and broke population.

I'm definitely in support of that. I would love to work in a clinic but I think my current career has taken me to off-course for that.

Ah. I worked as director of an AB clinic for years with my sister, Roxymuxak. It is the work I have been proudest of and what led me to want to do a funding org in my spare time. Turning abortion seeking women away because they are poor and can't afford the surgery is the hardest thing I have ever had to do and I hope the clinics I serve can do that less and less.

I am just now seeing this thread = wtf.

???

Is that for me, or the situation?

LIL HELP?

ROXY and i will be working this fundraiser and after looking at all the junk we have collected, I think we could use some more.

Equal Acccess Fund (www.myspace.com/equalaccessfund) is having a huge garage sale fundraiser on Oct. 13th, Saturday from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. on the corner of Fairmont and Broadway.

We could use your donations of old shit you don't use anymore that people who frequent yard sales would buy:

books, dvds, cds , vhs, old kitchen gadgets, your old boxers, tees, purses, scarves, christmas gifts you hated, toys ,mixed nuts

what have you got?

Email heat✧✧✧@equalaccessf✧✧✧.o✧✧ for more info

didn't know what thread to wake up but the asshole who shot Dr. Tiller in his church has been found guilty. jury deliberated for 37 min. go Kansas! I assume they'll appeal and that the idea is to get a hearing from the Supreme Court but I don't know, I always assume that anti-choice nuts have their eye on the big prize of re-hearing roe v. wade

Murder, not manslaughter like he was going for?

first degree murder, whew.

Didn't the judge prohibit the jury from considering anything less than murder? I thought I read something but I didn't totally understand it.

possibly. last i heard the defense had tried to get them to try him on a manslaughter charge instead, but i guess that was overruled!

yeah. obviously great news but i kinda hope it isn't celebrated too loudly, like it's an acceptable battleground or cause for jubilation, rather than a straightforward matter of justice.

good article with weird occasionally snarky tone on one of the last late term providers in the US, taking over from dr. Tiller.

a decent if simple read regarding compromise & what it gets us on this q

Is that for me, or the situation?

hearings on HR3 beginning right now. already v. dangerous to my fuckin blood pressure.

Jerrold Nadler (D-NY) spitting fire on the house floor right now

I can't read that phrase without thinking of this

If you guys have never seen Trent Franks (R-Arizona) at work you're missing one of Jimmy Stewart's finest creations

I wish somebody would yield the floor to Dylan (I - Hot Fire)

I can't, if I start watching, I won't do any more work and I'll just get ALL UPSET.

Laurel you have no idea. This is really all of them doing their grandstanding 3 minutes at a time. And Democrats responding in various degrees of sleep-inducing boilerplate.

I should be tracking down a feed to the footage you're watching instead of looking up and posting this but I am certain my rep is voting against this

One (R) just began his speech: "Look. Life is precious"

I just started a poll about that

I just listened to "I Rip and I Rhyme" over Jean Schmidt's loathsome speech - it was like an old Revolting Cocks record

Rep. Barbara Lee (D-Oakland) slaying dragons

Steny Hoyer calling out GOP for not living up to libertarian principles

Oh shit, sucked in.

have some valium handy

Needing to bash all these white men in the head.

here comes Cantor, this is gonna suck balls

Just for those of you following along at home, he just said that the most endangered minority in the world are unborn babies.

what the

Endangered is the wrong word but I was so mad I forgot to remember the actual quote.

The most discriminated-against minority? Something like that.

hey dudes, how Americans feel about a Constitutional right? totally uninteresting. anybody who thinks they get a say in the exercise of a Constitutional right can pound sand.

xp yeah he said that.

he said "most persecuted minority, the child in the womb"

it is really shameful, how they make unborn babies sit at the back of the bus and keep them from voting

and you know a child in the woman can't get a loan no matter how good his/her credit is

it's a disgrace

You know what's even more shameful? Making unborn babies have babies they didn't mean to get pregnant with and can't take care of. xp yes haha

Thank fuck for the Levins.

Sander Levin makes an important point - the bill is in fact dead in the Senate. That doesn't mean that the vote isn't important; preserving rights is a long game. But if it brings the diastolic down under 100, they're going to pass this here and vote it down in the Senate.

fuckin 3 dudes from Texas so far, minimum, on the side of the bill

like this bill is The Texas GOP vs. Your Uterus

not watching this but i hate despise resent the fact that chris smith claims to represent my home state >:( >:( >:(

you know I meant to type "womb" instead of "woman", I have been disturbingly Freudian and stupid-fingered this week

lol this guy from Oregon said "rape and incense"

was that the followup to "Sex and Candy"

Earl Blumenauer (D-Oregon) is otherwise kicking ass

I lolled at "rape and incense" tbh.

I know this is dead in the Senate and also that Big O already said he'll veto. I'm just furious at even listening to these fuckheads.

oh fucking A this nurse from TN is a piece of work

Just completely tuned her out tbh with the tax code nonsense and the droning.

Whoah how does Crowley sound like Young Bernie Sanders??? I could have sworn that's who it was!

oh you missed this bit about how since a disallowed tax credit for abortion (under medical care deduction) wouldn't raise a flag for an audit, it's not a concern - you'd have to be getting audited first before they'd notice

really classic

Yeah I mean I heard her but I just didn't process any of it.

THEY KEEP LYING. LYING. WHY DO THEY SAY BLATANTLY FALSE THINGS RIGHT OUT IN THE OPEN LIKE THAT. All this bill will do is codify the Hyde Amendment, if I fucking hear the word "codify" one more time I'm gonna pop someone...

I have a theory about how they use "codify" because it's a word many people don't usually use, so even if they know what it means, it seems harmless - what do I care what you codify, lol, I never codified anything myself - you know?

am I the only guy who when they say "for the consideration of HR" thinks "I'm glad the guy from Bad Brains gets the final say on everything"

I have a theory about how they use "codify" because it's a word many people don't usually use, so even if they know what it means, it seems harmless - what do I care what you codify, lol, I never codified anything myself - you know?

otm

Okay I had to do work. What happened???

the vote's going to come later - debate was concluded.

committee being brought to order now, or being told to come to order - everybody ignoring the gavel

another loathsome "right to know"/mandatory ultrasound bill passes out of committee and is sent to the House, this one in NC. Audio of the hearing is half an hour well-spent though it will drive you up a wall - the dishonesty of these people is breathtaking

on a lighter note:

http://www.theonion.com/articles/planned-parenthood-opens-8-billion-abortionplex,20476/

saw that last night and had a huge howling activist laugh @

"Although we've traditionally dedicated 97 percent of our resources to other important services such as contraception distribution, cancer screening, and STD testing, this new complex allows us to devote our full attention to what has always been our true passion: abortion," said Richards, standing under a banner emblazoned with Planned Parenthood's new slogan, "No Life Is Sacred."

The image of the floor layout is some of their best work.

Predictably, facebook users react: http://i.imgur.com/p4CFW.png

Oh...wow.

i don't understand these people. i can not understand how a guy can type out, 8 Billion Dollar Baby Holocaust, and not head straight down to his basement to start working on some loose ideas for jams to play under that name.

hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahhahahahaha wait these people vote

8 Billion Dollar Baby Holocaust, and not head straight down to his basement to start working on some loose ideas for jams to play under that name.

AHAHAHAAAAAAAAAHAHAHA

lol I just put that on the onion thread and then on fb and said that it's not really funny because, well, what DJP said but it's still at least a little bit funny.

My friend's very Catholic parents told him this crazy story last year about how obama was building clinics the size of airplane hangers all over the country to perform abortions out of. They were so outraged.

so hilarious

Ohio reps smuggle anti-abortion provisions into budget, then shut off their phones so they won't have to hear from constituents

awful hard to type with knotted fists:

http://ltgov.tn.gov/2011/06/lt-governor-ramsey-praises-governor-haslam-for-move-to-defund-planned-parenthood/

the pace of this shit is just staggering - literally every day there's another state legislature mandating ultrasounds, funding CPCs while defunding PP, making 20 weeks the cutoff - there are a couple of politicians standing up but in the absence of heavy hitters willing to stick their necks out the Republicans are just rolling right ahead on this one.

it really is staggering, and other than calling my reps to complain and donating to planned parenthood and drinking more of this rum i'm not sure what else to do about it

donate to nnaf - that's where the funding problem gets solved at a grassroots level imo

everybody tells me "vote in politicians who'll defend reproductive rights" too but like you can count 'em on one hand

What staggers me is these priveledged white male fucks saying things like banning abortions/abortion funding "protects women", I mean wtf, what kind of universe do these cnuts live in? It makes me sick.

i know it isn't crucial that someone swoops in to point out that the above isn't just a guy thing, but:

“This is about respecting women,” said Rep. Ruth Samuelson, a Charlotte Republican who sponsored the bill. “This bill keeps abortion legal. It keeps abortion safe. And, by golly, we know it helps make it more rare. It is still her choice. It makes it her informed choice.”

i think it's more just an attempt to link 'control', and the general principle of being well informed - like you're buying a mortgage & you should really check out all the options & read the smallprint before proceeding - with a woman's decision-making process, and therefore earn a few more days of head-time in a CPC room trying to deter people face to face with graphic distractions.

that being an area in which applying pressure can be pretty successful, from their perspective, and all

FUCK YES

this is a huge victory and the judge's remarks are awesome. Also, for the first time since the murder of Dr. Tiller, you can get an abortion in Wichita if you need one.
