Send A Personal Thank You or Message of Support to Planned Parenthood!

Whether you have or have not been to Planned Parenthood, I hope you will please write a quick thank you to the staff, doctors and etc who work so hard for us; thanking them for either their personal services to you, or to others. I had a late-term abortion, only to find out 2 months later my birth control failed, so I had another abortion, this time via the abortion pill at Planned Parenthood.

They were the kindest people one could have hoped for; to make me feel comfortable and as if I were not alone nurses shared stories with me, personal stories, talked to me about the trouble the horrible Rick Perry was giving them (this was right before he attacked clinics all over Texas) and gave me detailed information and care on how to safely abort at home with the medication, information and number (just in case) all of which they provided.

My abortions were blessings, without Planned Parenthood I wouldn't have been able to obtain that second abortion and get the birth control I needed (that would work). I cannot thank them, or Whole Woman's Health, enough for saving my life.

Of course Planned Parenthood is for more than first trimester abortions, but this is what they mean to me... With all the unneeded drama and lies the anti-choice movement has placed upon PP I hope anyone who has been to Planned Parenthood for any reason will please take a few moments and write a quick thank you, to remind them we are all behind them... Also, please share this and let's all get behind those who are pro-choice and helping women as well as families <3

Video: When Anti's Try to "Attack"...

Video on the most popular 'claims' and 'attacks' the anti-choice movement makes against anyone who is pro-choice or, like me, pro-abortion (if you don't know what it means to be pro-abortion, see my page explaining what it means). I read these 5 in an article yesterday and made a quick video, remember to never let them get you down. Abortion is not bad; abortion is not murder. Abortion is a medical choice and it is a very important choice that is up to you, and you alone. Never feel bad for considering or having an abortion. Below is the link to the original article.

What is Title X & Why Does it Matter to Women & Families?

I wonder how many Americans even know what Title X is?

It impacts so many aspects of family life; from birth control to family planning and health care for women, especially low income women as well as many other vital areas of life. However, these important factors in the life of women are at risk whenever Title X is at risk as it is now; especially for those with low income (see below video for more information!). And though I can't stress enough how abortion is not a bad thing nor does it make you a bad woman; common sense tells us that, abortion -like most medical procedures- is not something most women jump up and down with joy over. Perhaps afterwards as I did, but not before.

Preventing abortion is a good theory; but abortion should not be neglected due to forcing a woman to give birth, thus putting herself and the potential child in a situation neither deserve to be in; one that will only harm them both. Abortion should never be neglected at the cost of adoption or suffering through life with an unwanted child; both are prices too high to pay. Preventing self-induced abortion is the best outcome of Title X, helping young families plan their future among countless other health care services provided are just a few of the benefits offered to women via Title X. So what exactly is Title X?

Let's start with the easiest method of explaining:

Anti-Choice Deceptive Attack on Planned Parenthood- The Real Facts Behind the Video

Currently, Anti-Choice Extremists are attacking Planned Parenthood with a false video, edited heavily and changed in the attempt to ruin a good organization. Learn the facts...

Planned Parenthood CEO Cecilie Richards speaks up in this short video -> (followed by research links disproving the anti-choice attack.
Two links that will lead u to a lot of information and truth on what is going on. Know the facts and share them, please. Here you can watch Austin Local News expose the video: video and other research disproving these Anti lifers can be found here.

And here, you can read the research of how the Anti-Choice made one video of many. To make this video seem as though Planned Parenthood sells things "aborted" they had to do as they tend to do frequently; manipulate, deceive and aim to hurt others by all means as this helps them feel good about themselves...somehow.

Again, women... This is why you shouldn't let what an anti shouts out you or tells you make you feel bad about yourself. This kind of deception, lies and heartless actions to prove a point that isn't even based upon fact rather based upon their desire to trick others, is exactly why nothing they call you or me or anyone else should matter to any one. I hope it helps even one woman see how their cruelty makes their opinions the sort no woman (or man) ever needs to think for a second is true.

Part1: What Anti's Don't Say About Child Birth

Anti's would have women believe that raising a child is something we must do without a second thought. Never do they mention the life altering responsibility women carry through pregnancy and after birth. As too many women state, when they mentioned wanting an abortion to their personal doctor too many were met with a speech about the "joys of motherhood". For some women this is news worthy of joy; the women who want and are ready to be a mother. This is not an anti-childbirth post, rather it is a post to say it is okay to feel something other than 'joy' about pregnancy. You are not alone. Additionally, if you feel the fetus to be child is unwanted, that does not make you a bad person as some anti's would have you believe. That means you are realistic and don't want to bring an unwanted being into this world to suffer. This makes you a GOOD woman.

First, I wanna talk about the side of raising a child no one tells women about. Being that I've never had a child (but have been pregnant and aborted thankfully) I have interviewed random women who have children; women of different ages, grandmothers included, financial positions, nationalities, jobs, students and teens.Though I am positive they all loved their children more than one told me they regretted giving birth. Finally, I've also posted information from the internet.

Two years ago I watched my sister-in-law, who I've always admired and who always had everything together, struggle and lose confidence while getting used to being a mother. She desperately wanted the baby, and she is a great mother as is her precious child. But I remember thinking, wow, if someone as strong as she struggles, how am I going to handle pregnancy? 

No one talks about the change in life pregnancy brings. It almost seems they are trying to use forced motherhood and in some cases marriage as well to show their are consequences in having sex. Yes, there are. But those consequences should not ruin the lives of those involved; especially

Video: Abortion Bans Change Nothing; Risk Women's Lives

Abortion rates does not go down because abortion is illegal. All it does is result in women risking and too often giving their lives while trying to self abort. If we don't do something soon, this is the world we are going to face once again. A video on a bit of my abortion and why abortion is not bad; but those who attack you are.

Call for an End to Bans on Medicaid Funding of Abortion

Repost from National Network of Abortion Funds... Click link to add your name!

Call for an end to bans on Medicaid funding of abortion: Sign the petition!

Today, hundreds of thousands of people go hungry, risk eviction, and pawn their possessions as they attempt to raise money for an abortion.

Some are never able to raise enough money and are forced to continue the pregnancy.

Repealing the "Hyde Amendment," which forbids federal funding for abortion in the Medicaid program, could change all that. If we repeal the Hyde Amendment, lack of income wouldn't be a barrier for the thousands of people qualified for Medicaid benefits who seek abortion. Medicaid would again cover abortion care like it does every other health care service we need. Congress also denies abortion coverage to military personnel and their families, those receiving care from Indian Health Services, and people on disability insurance.
Sign the petition below and join our call for coverage of abortion in public insurance programs as a part of comprehensive health care for all. Please also join our call for support for low-income families to care for their children with dignity. Take a stand for reproductive justice and a world in which all of us have the power and resources necessary to make healthy decisions about our bodies and our families.


Petition:
It is time for Congress to repeal the Hyde Amendment and restore Medicaid coverage for abortion. We must close the gap between the legal right to abortion and genuine access to care. I call on my Senators and House members to repeal the Hyde Amendment and ensure dignity and justice for all families.
