5:49 PM: hate mail [#] [2]
i just finished changing the addresses of about 700 hundred planned parenthood subscribers, and it turns out all the "interesting" mail is at the bottom of the mail bin:someone clipped this headline from a letter: "they've criminalized abortion in south dakota"my primary motivations in this struggle are twofold. first, each person's primary right is that to their own body. second, every child should be born a wanted child. while assembling donation thank-you letters last week, i had a couple of ideas for my own slogans:
then wrote: good now Lets Do it Everywhar
on the outside of an envelope:
NO - MURDER HAS ALWAYS BEEN CRIMINAL
scrawled across a return address:
Peta thinks it is OK to kill baby humans but not rabbits & mink
woman's choice: just say "NO"
on the outside of another envelope:
Abortion is Murderbetter abortion than abusebetter than either of those, of course, is this line i found on a sig file:
an unwanted pregnancy=an unwanted childnow that you've saved that gay fetus, are you willing to defend its right to marry?but one of the frustrating things is that all this focus on abortion seriously skews planned parenthood's image, whose primary responsibility is actually for the reproductive health of both women & men. so my next project is culling through a few thousand quotes from women who participate in the Family Planning Expansion Project (FPEP) program -- a federally-and-state-funded program that provides its services to low-income patients. the ratio of federal dollars to state dollars is $9 to $1, but the federal funds are contigent on the state, who has to choose to support it every time a budget is passed. which means every two years, planned parenthood has to defend its services and prove how much women depend on them. the quotes i pick ultimately get added to a database that can be used for multiple purposes.
"You've got a right to life until you're born."
