Rally at Olympia Capital Steps to celebrate the defense of abortion rights: Jan 22, 2009 at noon!
Celebrate the 36th anniversary of the Roe v. Wade decision that legalized abortion by joining with other defenders of choice (defenders of the right to kill our own flesh and blood) on the steps of the Washington State Capitol Building in Olympia, WA. Protest starts at noon!
In previous years, the right wing "March for Life" has gathered at the Capitol on the date of the historic Supreme Court ruling. This year, however, the Roe v. Wade Celebration committee took the offensive(they have the ruling and they are still fighting!) by reserving the spot for a rally to honor safe (don't know how safe it is for the baby...and abortions still kill and maim women year in and year out - there is nothing safe about them) and legal abortion!
Radical Women is organizing a carpool from Seattle that will leave at 10am. For more information, please call 206-722-6057 or email rwseattle@mindspring.com.

Calling all rebels,
Let's raise hell in Olympia on the 22nd. I'm tired of barely anything happening to this huge presence of sexist hatred in our city. (this is a new term to me ... sexist hatred) Streaking(they had five fat, ugly men streaking last year - in front of children...they are just brilliant in their strategy) might be fun and all and so can spending time making placards for counter protests, but maybe it's time to get serious and make them not want to come back again.
This is a call out for a more angry(angry, they are angry...in part, due to their own abortions and not being able to resolve the issue of having had one) crew to do what needs to be done to stop them from distributing their idiotic message. (idiotic message - Abortion Hurts)

I understand that we have taken the offensive and this si going to be a celebration of a woman's right to choose(the death of her child) on the anniversary of Roe vs. Wade, but to know what kind of situation we are going into, are there aupposed to be right-wing anti-choice(oh yes, we will be there, praying for your souls and for your change of heart against your children) people there?
