We were deeply saddened to hear the news about Savita Halappanavar – a woman who died after being denied a life-saving abortion in Ireland. There are too many stories like Savita’s out there and many countries – other than Ireland – where abortion remains illegal.
Remember Savita and the importance of access to safe and legal abortion in the United States and around the world. Please share this in support.

This is a message I just received in my inbox.
A group called “Genocide Awareness Campagin” is at my university in Massachusetts right now with their giant billboards showing miscarried fetuses and aborted fetuses and the University is refusing to remove them from University grounds. At least…

Honestly why is it such a big deal for a woman to decide what she does with her own reproductive system? It isn’t your uterus, you haven’t lived their life, so you can’t decide what they can or can’t do with their uterus. Because you aren’t a person until you are born. I know this is a hard fact to comprehend but when a fetus is kicking and sucking its thumb in the womb, it’s cute and all that, but that fetus is not a person. Why isn’t it a person, you might ask. Well, because a person is an unspecified individual of the human race. We do not count unborn kittens as cats, we do not count an acorn as an oak tree. Why do so many people insist on calling a fetus a person? Simply because they are pushing an agenda based around denying basic human dignity to women. To this uninformed group of individuals, a woman is the brood mare of the state, capable only of copulation, domestic work and the raising of children. A woman is more than her uterus; she is a being of so much potential. A woman can be anything they want to be. A woman has choice, the same way a man has choice, in all things. A woman’s right to chose abortion over carrying a fetus to term is a basic human right because it is a woman’s right to refuse to carry a child and it is a very difficult decision to make. Barring a woman’s right to choose is disrespectful to women, they deserve the right to decide not to have a baby if they are pregnant and especially if that pregnancy is the result of sexual violence. Also another point for the terminally empty of the brain cavity; abortion is not genocide. It isn’t even remotely close. So every time you say “abortion is genocide” or call a woman who gets an abortion a “murderer”, you make yourselves look more and more like bullies and ignoble ingrates with the mental power of a shoe. The louder you shout your lies and the more you push frightful, triggering and disgusting images of miscarriages and call them “abortions” the more you make yourselves disgusting, deplorable and demeaning to the human race. So don’t come here to my university spouting your lies and demanding that I listen to them. You are horrible, atrocious, awful, abhorrent, repulsive, odious fuckwitted assholes and I would rather nail a table cracker to a hyena’s left bollock than listen to any of your bullshit. Everyone who is against abortion is against human dignity and is not worthy of anyone’s respect, least of all mine.
