Amplify and Advocates for Youth have been vigilant in keeping the public informed of attempts in Congress to turn back the clock and limit access to abortion.
And, some of the Public is not amused! We've received so many charming responses to our emails and blogs - it seems like we just have to share.
Please note: asterisks were not employed in the original emails!
Starting with the basics:
And this one, where the person doesn't seem against "murder" per se, since they think our moms should have committed it, but they find it fiscally irresponsible:shut the f*ck up
To this one, seemingly sent to us from a gangster movie set in the 1930s:So you want congress to aprove the bill so that women can murder their children for free? I don't htink so, I am NOT paying for irresponsible baby murderers. ...Maybe your mother should have aborted you.
And this one which I actually kind of like:....You can suck an egg.
DO NOT EXPECT ANY DONATIONS I QUIT YOUR GARBAGE RAG.
A) We weren't asking, but OK B) Garbage rag! That is IMAGINATIVE.
But those were just appetizers for this the main course of crazypants caps lock:
STICK THAT COAT HANGER UP YOUR A**! !
I KNOW ONE THING FOR A FACT IF THE MILLIONS OF ABORTED BABIIES HAD LIVED THIS COUNTRY
WOULD BE A LOT DIFFERENT.MILLIONS OF AMERICANS SLAUGHTERED AND YOU WANT TO PAY FOR IT TOO. F*CK YOU WITH A COAT HANGER...
First of all, that is a lot of things you want us to do to ourselves with a coathanger! Or should I say A LOT OF THINGS!!!!!
Secondly: I like the idea that the Millions of Aborted Babies, had they lived, would automatically be anti-choice.
Thirdly: Do I even have to say it? Abortion is a legal medical procedure in this country and the new health care plan should treat it as any such procedure. Without access to abortion, women seek illegal and unsafe abortion : already, tens of thousands die every year around the world due to unsafe abortions. They die because some emailers, and some lawmakers, believe women's lives are disposable. That is what the coat hanger represents - the dire alternative to safe and legal abortion.
PLEASE check out The Hanger Project and sign the petition. Let Congress know you won't stand for the clock to be turned back.

what else is there to say? If abortion is limited to the few that can afford it, what do you think the rest will resort to? How can someone be pro-choice yet be offended when you discuss the implications of anti-choice legislation? Needless to say, I don't regret the loss of that hypocrite as a friend
