Let's show some support to the people who access Planned Parenthood services here in Columbia.
Anti-choice protesters have been gathering every week to shame those who access Planned Parenthood for abortions (as well as contraception, STI testing, and sexual health education), and their "40 Days for Life" campaign is starting today! They will be protesting 7 am to 7 pm everyday that Planned Parenthood is open for the next 40 days. (http://www.columbiamissour ian.com/stories/2009/09/14 /40-days-life-campaign-kic koff-columbia/ )
People shouldn't be shamed for responsible access of health care and education. Let's get together and talk about when we can get out there and counter-protest!
Please join and invite allies to join the Mid-Missouri Pro-Choice group on facebook and forward this email to anyone you think would be willing to help.
We are hoping to meet Tuesday night (exact time TBD). If you join the group you can keep up to date with meeting times and our plans. You can also email any questions to midmoprochoice@gmail.com

Totally going. Are we going to hammer out the details of how, exactly, we're going to counter-protest in the meeting?
Aym-bear:
That is the plan. The president of Feminist Student Union contacted me yesterday about getting involved too! Yay! Are you a student or from the community or both?
Meeting tonight: Memorial Union lobby/lounge on MU campus at 6:00 pm.
I'm a student. We had talked about doing a counter-protest or something at the FSU meeting. And I'll most certainly be there.
