I will be donating to Medical Students For Choice and National Network of Abortion Funds this Friday (when I get paid).  I can't donate much, but every bit helps.  As in, I will probably only donate about $20 each, which is groceries for a week and a half for me (give/take), but it is still better than nothing.

The thing that I am nodding along with today is this post by Amanda at Pandagon: The "non-violent" anti-abortion activists.  For added fun, check out this statement made by Randall Terry, the founder of Operation: Rescue.  And also: Abortion is Murder: Why the right is responsible for domestic terrorism, by M. LeBlanc at Bitch Ph.D.:

They did this to mask the truth about the anti-abortion movement: it is not about whether a fetus is a life. It is about controlling women. It is about heaping "consequences" on women who dare to live their lives as full, autonomous human beings who are not beholden to the male patriarchs and the male god who demand women serve as reproductive vessels fully under their control. It is about judgment, and it is about punishment.

This is all making me sick to my stomach to consider.  Do you know how many late-term abortion doctors are left in the nation? Two. That's right, rabbits.  Two doctors left in the United States who provide late-term abortions.

I do believe I have reached the end of using the term "pro-life".
