Note: I’ve tucked one weird image from the abortion protesters below the fold. It’s morbid, but in a fantasy violence kind of way. I was the only escort this morning! Usually we have at least three to four escorts on the weekend, but sunny summer Saturdays are precious in Minnesota, so c’était tout moi aujourd’hui! There were …

I’m working a new escorting shift at a new clinic location. Part of this new location is new hours; I’m going to be volunteering most mornings Monday-Friday – a one hour shift before heading across the metro to my big kid job.

I have compiled some of the images that were published on Twitter during yesterday’s rallies in Ireland and the UK: DAT SIGN RT @chewerson #savita Protest. The main message: twitter.com/chewerson/stat… — Amanda Palmer (@amandapalmer) November 14, 2012

Damn. I’m too old for this and it sounds like a great opportunity. If you are or want to be a reproductive freedom activist, NARAL is advertising a leadership conference in the Twin Cities (Minneapolis/St. Paul) metro area on June 8-10 for young adults aged 18-30. According to the website, the institute is at no …

For the second year in a row I will be celebrating the holiday at Planned Parenthood , countering this kind of dumbz: I’m pretty sure the “Chicken Strip” sign was for the DQ next door, and not an anti-choice protest sign. Poor framing of the shot. Mea culpa. *hehehe* Our side had WAY more fun: …

Do you want to help fund abortions for women and families who can’t afford them? Do you like cats? Okay…I KNOW the second question is the more controversial statement in this crowd, but just say yes to both. Say yes? Every year the NNAF – National Network of Abortion Funds – hosts a bowl-a-thon fundraiser. …
