This is a State of Emergency!

August 12. One of the Abortion Rights Freedom Riders speaking on the state of emergency facing women's reproductive rights.  This is NOT the time to lay low, to stay silent.  We must unite and fight!  

Austin, August 4

"We are living through a time of ominous Supreme Court rulings, of legislatures that have made it very clear that they are not going to stand on the side of women.  Hundred of restrictions coming down across abortion, dozens of clinics forced to close across this country.  If you are a person who feels a moral obligation to women, and maybe you have considered yourself to be pro-life, it is time to actually investigate, it is time to hear the stories of the women, and if you are a woman who has had an abortion, now is the time to tell it in public.

"One in three women have abortions, it is not a certain kind of woman, it is definitely not an irresponsible woman.  It is a responsible choice, a moral choice and a liberating choice.  In a world full of rape, in a world full of abuse, and a world where there is actually global war on women raging, it is essential that women in every state have access to Abortion on Demand and Without Apology.  It is not easy to tell these stories."
