Pro-aborts sometimes aren't...smart (as this e-mail sorta demonstrates)

Back in the days before Al Gore invented the Internet, somebody gave me some really good advice:

"Never, ever, write anything on a post card that you wouldn't want the world to see."

Wise words. And they can equally apply to e-mail...especially e-mail the sender urges the recipient to PLEASE FORWARD WIDELY.

Case in point follows...from my mailbox today.

Sheesh.

N.B. I wouldn't advise contacting the sender, nor calling the phone number. 'Course I wouldn't have advised the sending of this e-mail out willy-nilly either, but then the "organization" didn't consult me.

please forward widely!

STAND UP FOR HEALTHCARE & ABORTION ACCESS!
SUPPORT WOMEN USING PLANNED PARENTHOOD!
DEFEND REPRODUCTIVE JUSTICE!

** CLINIC ACTION **
8:30 am to 11:30 am
Saturday, Feb. 11
Outside Planned Parenthood in Allston - 1055 Commonwealth Ave.
(near Pleasant St. T-stop)
** Please RSVP (daplanning@lists.riseup.net or 617-566-2861 ) **

Every second Saturday of the month, 30 to 100 anti-abortionist demonstrators hold mass "vigil" outside the Planned Parenthood in Allston -- verbally abusing, videotaping, and even physically harrassing anyone trying to enter the clinic.

Come support choice and women's access to reproductive healthcare!

Our clinic actions have directly resulted in some law enforcement of the buffer zone! By claiming the police pen closest to Planned Parenthood, we've forced right-wing protesters to retreat to the pen farther from the building -- a first in years. We've deterred anti-abortionists from using their dead "fetus" pictures and posing as traffic cops! See below for an in-depth summary.

We use SILENT and PEACEFUL deflection to counter those who try to intimidate and shame patients. We will:

* Wear color-coordinated uniforms, block invasive cameras, and hold PINK CLOTH with supportive symbols over anti-abortion propaganda!

* LEAFLET with reproductive justice, abortion, and healthcare info to non-patient passersby. "Operation Rescue" (or as well call them, "Operation Oppress-You") hands lies and sexist literature to all who pass -- we must to counter them on the streets!

* Occupy the first police pen, causing anti-abortionists to retreat to the pen farther from the building, where their shouts and "holy water" will be blocked. Peaceably divert "Operation Rescue" members who illegally approach patients. Block those OR members who pose as traffic cops to trick patients into parking far away. Monitor legal violations.

Women must seek reproductive health services without humiliation, isolation, and intimidation!

We must inform the public on reproductive justice, not allow anti-woman lies to blast unopposed. "Operation Rescue" prevents women from receiving medical services, threatens the safety of clinic staff, has assaulted patients, and has vandalized doctors' offices. Every woman should be able to choose what happens to her body!

WE NEED TO TAKE BACK OUR STREETS & NEIGHBORHOODS!
JOIN US! WEAR PINK!

PLEASE RSVP so we can divide roles and ensure the clinic action is highly disciplined and well-coordinated, given its sensitive location: daplanning@lists.riseup.net or 617-566-2861.
