At a protest in favor of reproductive rights today in Richmond VA, protesters assembled on the Virginia Capitol’s steps. Police, many in riot gear, demanded that they disperse or be arrested. 33 people refused to leave the steps, and were arrested.

Courtesy of this facebook page. So excellent.
I’m so glad this photoshoot is making its rounds, and I’m even happier to know some of the people involved.
I really do love this campaign
it covers the rage and the facts with the perfect level of humanity
| Woman: | Can I have birth control? |
| Government: | No. |
| Woman: | I got pregnant because I didn't have birth control and I don't want the fetus. Can I have an abortion? |
| Government: | No. |
| Woman: | I gave birth to my child but since I wasn't expecting it, I can't afford daycare. Can I have help paying for it? |
| Government: | No. |
Oh my God.
holy mother of fuck

Patricia Heaton, star of ABC Family’s “The Middle”, tells the president to go to a racist ass “pro-life” website on the 39th anniversary of Roe v Wade. Now I have a reason to avoid that show like the plague.
My first year at Miami, MU Students for Life invited Pro-Choice Miami to watch documentary about how abortion is secretly black genocide because Margaret Sanger believed in eugenics. When the film was over, they sat there expecting us to have had an epiphany; expecting me, as the only black member of PCM, to thank them for helping me to see the light. What they got was one of the most vicious verbal attacks I’ve ever dealt out.
What people like MUSFL and Patricia Heaton don’t understand is that they don’t need to enlighten blacks about their oppression. They hold no secret knowledge that the poor uneducated black folks just can’t understand. What they have is a lack of knowledge and a lack of respect. White women weren’t the only ones who fought for the right to have an abortion. POC were and remain active leaders in the fight for reproductive justice. By perpetuating the myth of black genocide, you are denying black women their agency when it comes to making decisions about their own body and children. The tagline “The most dangerous place for an African American is in the womb” (seen on billboards touting the idea of black genocide) proves they have no idea about the reality of being black in America. You don’t have to look into womens’ bodies to see the genocide of black youth.
Abortion allows black women to make private decisions about their own body and about the fate of their potential children. Who are you to tell a mother (potential or otherwise) about where her fetus which may or may not one day become a child will face danger? If she chooses that a child would be better off not being brought into the world at this time or that she would be better off not bring a child into the world in this time, that is her choice.
You know where black mothers don’t get to make choices? On the street where their children are harassed by citizens and police alike, in schools where their children are told their unintelligent, in stores, in prisons, in airports, and, if people like Patricia Heaton had their way, in their own doctor’s offices.
[People other than those who identify as women need and get abortions.]
Emphasis is mine. Flawless commentary is flawless.
so much ignorance

Roe V Wade closed off entire wings of hospitals. Those wings were full of women and children dying from the complications of back alley abortions. Roe closed them down. No more people were dying from coat hangers. And they won’t.
