Oh, God, I feel like I'm going to die.
I just went around to the heavily used classrooms on campus that did not currently have a class in them and did not have a random studious student in them and wrote one of two things on the whiteboards:
"Interested in promoting / reproductive health and choice?"
or
"Upset Indiana de-funded / Planned Parenthood?"
both with "Contact aforne02" underneath (because that's my school email if you attach the @ to it.
And I feel so on-edge, because even though this time I didn't actually use the phrase "pro-choice" or the word "abortion" it's totally implied and the last time I tried to publicly gain other people so I could actually start an activist group my flyers got torn down and someone 'reported' them to Student Activities officials and I got an email telling me to STOP IT because any postings have to be approved by them.
And I am going to die.
I'm being melodramatic, but STILL. I'm just so pissed with all the pro-life shirts and people and random fliers and Indiana being stupid and just ARGH. I need to DO SOMETHING. And I'm just really freaking tired of not having enough people I know to even submit an application to become a group. And I'm running out of time. As I keep having to put on my course evaluations, I'm a junior. (Holy shit, btw. People in my classes I'm totally fond of and talk to on a regular basis are seniors and they're going to be gone.)
Random fact: I know that Kari Byron is married (as far as I know) and has an adorable daughter and stuff, but I still totally ship her with Tori Belleci. Yes, real people, and yes, they are famous. You know, if you watch Mythbusters. :) And the fact that Tori actually started using his Twitter only makes me ship them more.
Speaking of Twitter, LET ME UN-PROTECT MY TWEETS, DAMNIT!
And since this entry seems to be themed... here, have a video:
Thought Experiment
Feb. 5th, 2010 01:37 pmBecause I really cannot concentrate on things school wants me to learn right now. Just... I can't. Not of my own volition.
So let's have a thought experiment, a hypothetical scenario.
Imagine that I, right now, got pregnant/discovered I was pregnant.
I love babies. One of my greatest fears in life is actually that I will not be able to have children. So this, obviously would be a huge issue, and a large thing to talk about in my family.
If I were to remain pregnant and have this hypothetical baby, there are a lot of things to take into account.
Please note: I do not know what I would do if this actually happened to me. But these are all of the things I would think about. Because that's what I see in reference to pro-choice. Complex situations where no one knows the right answer but those who are in it.
I trust women.
Feb. 4th, 2010 09:21 pmIt makes me all emotional, because it's beautiful and worded perfectly.
Please watch it.
Stop Stupak!

I stole this from ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif){kind=small}
empress_nikki's journal.
TODAY IS THE STOP STUPAK DAY OF ACTION.
Stupak's amendments to the healthcare reform bill would severely limit or completely cut-off access to legal abortion by removing it from health insurance coverage.
The healthcare bill is important for women- it would end gender pay inequality and stop discriminatory policies like counting domestic abuse as a "pre-existing condition."
Don't let your senators restrict access to abortion; don't let them take a step back in the fight for a woman's right to choose.
You can call them at 888-423-5983 and tell them anti-choice amendments have no place in healthcare reform.
Tell them to support the women they represent by not restricting their power to choose.
