Sign the Credo petition--No New Abortion Restrictions
Here's my added comment:

Dear Mr. President,

Don't surrender Women's lives to the machinations of right-wing theocrats and conservative regressives.

WE are your largest base. WE are the ones who want to pull this country up out of the ideological desert that the Conservatives are making of it.

Your initial action in office was to end the Global Gag Rule, because you believed in the sanctity of Women's lives.

Do not go down the Conservative path. Please, do not threaten the lives of millions of women and girls in order to pander to authoritarian misogynists.

Safe Abortion Access saves Women's lives.

************

PS to DUers-- There is no link to this petition on the Credo Front Page. :mad: I only know about it because I get mailings on Women's Issues

Here's the petition page so you can also sign: http://act.credoaction.com/campaign/no_new_restrictions_hhs/?r=6187&id=11354-2228677-JIstlPx

--If you want to add comments but can't think of what to say, feel free to clip any points you want from my note

1. I can think of one good restriction
No one else in the doctor's office except the patient.


Well, maybe the nurse.

2. heh, yeah, that would be a good restriction
Edited on Mon Sep-27-10 08:42 AM by BlancheSplanchnik
I hope you're just kidding and didn't come up with that due to a past experience :scared:


Ohhhh woops! -- I just checked and saw that you're a guy!

So it's pretty unlikely that you would have had such an experience for real.

Not especially uncommon for women to experience that kind of thing, sad to say.

3. This policy will not result in fewer abortions. It will result in more
dead girls.
