So, some right-wing group has labeled today “The Pill Kills Day.” They are attempting to convince women that both EC and the birth control pill will cause abortions in early pregnancy. If you’d like to see their site, go to http://www .thepillkills. com/index.html. Remove the spaces after www and before com.
Read about it over at Feministe:
Yes, you read that right: Women should be “informed” that the Pill kills nine-day-old babies. Which is a little confusing, until you realize that anti-choicers apparently track your age from what time your daddy’s sperm fertilized your mama’s egg. (The fact that the Pill is totally incapable of killing such a fertilized egg is apparently even further beside the point).
There’s also a great article over on Seattle PI entitled “Pry the right to a ‘pill’ from my cold, dead fingers.” It’s a good read:
So, June 7 is special because, according to the project’s Web site, it “marks the anniversary of the U.S. Supreme Court decision Griswold v. Connecticut,” which “was the first of many decisions that led to the culture of death we live in today.”
No, they’re not talking about the war, gang violence or drunken drivers. They’re talking about our right to choose when and how to start a family.
