walkforchoice:
Been thinking recently that a pro-choice flag would be a great point of unity for all of us.
I don’t know anything about designing flags, but I think the color orange would be a great starting point for several reasons:
it’s the color of clinic escorts everywhere
it represents protection,…

Across the country, Roe v. Wade is becoming more and more irrelevant as the states implement tighter restrictions on abortion access.
When will it end?
Conservatives will not relent until abortion is outlawed entirely.
Can we afford that? No. We’re not going to give them our bodies—our lives….

Why Abortion is Moral
All of the arguments against abortion boil down to six specific questions. The first five deal with the nature of the zygote-embryo-fetus growing inside a woman’s womb. The last one looks at the morality of the practice. These questions are:

Pro-choicer’s are PROACTIVE. Anti-choicers want to swoop in, shame people, tell them what to do & then leave without helping in any real way.
A HUGE thank you to all who came out and showed the community that we do care, and we are invested in making their community a better place.

With tons of help from the amazing director of the Chicago Abortion Fund, I’m going to try to keep this map as up-to-date as possible. Each location has a photo of its heinous billboard.
If you’re in Chicago, please call 311 or inform your local media of the locations of the billboards and tell them how angered you are to have them in your community. Also, as a peaceful...

In the past, Joseph Scheidler and the Pro-Life Action League have accused ICAT (a group of clinic escorts of which I’m proud to be a part of) of throwing bricks through his windows after training.
Now, they’re claiming ICAT, Walk for Choice Chicago, and the other protestors at his tribute dinner…

We’ve posted about this a few times since it debuted on Bill O’Reilly last night. This is a video from an anti-choice group taken at the Chicago Walk for Choice in February seeking to “expose” the radical agenda of our peaceful pro-choice movement. Hey—if working to ensure ALL people have access to healthcare and reproductive rights is radical, then guilty as charged.
This is...

Some of you may have seen this video circulating around the internet. While we are thrilled that Walk for Choice is being recognized on a national level, we want to make it clear that we are NOT associated with Planned Parenthood.
Other than that, woo-hoo! Thanks for the free publicity, Fox News! If you ever doubted that we are making a difference, then doubt no more!

On Monday, Live Action’s Lila Rose will be stopping in Geneva, Illinois to say thanks to Representative Hultgren (IL-14) for his vote on the Pence Amendment – a vote against women. We...
