Imagine the Difference It Could Make!

It is up to you to make it happen.

Film of a new talk by BA to debut in February 2013

This six-and-a-half hour speech given in the fall of 2012 is a clarion call to confront the depth of horrors perpetrated by this system and to settle for nothing less than real revolution in today's world.

Abortion: Stigmatized and Endangered

Time for Massive, Uncompromising Struggle

The stark reality is that despite its formal legality, abortion is more stigmatized, more dangerous to provide, and more difficult to access than at any time in the last 40 years. If we do not reverse this trajectory soon—very soon—we will lose this right and condemn future generations of women and girls to forced motherhood, to lives of open enslavement, terror, and life-crushing shame.

Rise Up for Abortion Rights On the 40th Anniversary of
Roe v. Wade


Jan 21-26: Week of Action—Washington, DC and San Francisco


Abortion and birth control are fundamental rights. Forcing women to have children against their will is a form of enslavement. And if women—half of humanity—are not free, then no one is free.


January 22, 2013 will mark the 40th anniversary of Roe v. Wade, the Supreme Court decision which legalized abortion. Yet today, abortion is more stigmatized, more dangerous to provide, and more difficult to access than at any time in the last 40 years.
