Passing the Word: What are you doing June 7?

From triadruid's journal, re-posted here for your righteous fury and motivational pleasure. :)

June 7th, 2008 marks the 43rd anniversary of the U.S. Supreme Court decision Griswold v. Connecticut. The American Life League/STOPP International is planning "Protest the Pill Day '08" as a response, mostly centered around Planned Parenthood clinics that provide the pill (I guess organizing enough people to block all the CVS/Osco/whatever would have been too tough).

Anybody feel like mounting a counter-protest? The only nearby clinic that has a registered protest so far is the Overland Park location (supposedly starting at 6:45AM), but keep an eye on Missouri or whatever state you happen to live in, if you're reading from farther afield. Look for the locations with a black dot in the map marker.

For the record, I'm way more pissed about these assholes than I am about the Scientologists. The Scientologists, yes, creepy and weird, and they seem to like to off their own people, but they also seem to be sort of... contained. These assholes want to force everybody with a uterus into a life of slavery, making billions of intelligent human beings into nothing more than incubators with legs. I hate that.

So, come along to support the right of women to have real lives as human beings while still enjoying sex (wait. Isn't that part of having a real life as a human being?), come along to screw with some extremely fucked-up and dangerous people, or come along to help keep me from getting into fistfights. It's all good.
