Virtual Wall of Protest

It doesn't stop with last week's Supreme Court decision.

In Florida , Planned Parenthood is continuing to fight battles to protect the health and safety of women and are standing strong against bills (HB 1497/SB 1602), that would place further restrictions on young women's access to health care.

These attacks only add to the outrage and frustration we all feel because of the Supreme Court's blatant disregard for women's health and safety. But despite our anger, we have hope - a desire to speak out, tell personal stories, and express frustration with the Supreme Court's decision.

Planned Parenthood has now created a communal space for our outrage: the Planned Parenthood Wall of Protest. Like the March for Women's Lives, where three years ago one million of us joined together and raised our voices in support of women's health and safety, http://www.wallofprotest.com/ is a place for us to gather — to express our anger, share our stories, and renew our strength. This virtual wall illustrates the widespread outrage at the court's decision, and is available online for the world to see. You can make your voice heard by uploading a picture or posting a YouTube video now and sharing your comments.

I posted a pic from my time spent in South Dakota (see below) fighting the draconian bill that would have outlawed all abortion, except to save a woman's life. The bill lacked rape, incest and health exceptions, and needless to say it failed. I urge you all to epxress yourself on this wall; with words, pictures, videos, anything. Speak. Be heard.
