Ladies and gentlemen... we've got a problem on our hands.

[Sam Khangyi]

The worst that can be done, is let it happen unopposed. now that we know some
of cards they are going to play ...

Add injustice Injustice to the other 2 slogans
* Equality begins in the womb.
* Freedom is a Human Right and Equality Begins at Conception.

And now the MAJ 29 date. this is turning into a race against the clock...
and remember, the catholic church is right behind this ...

Cheers,

I've been doing some digging, and found something interesting: this
caravan isn't stopping in Calgary!

"Date: June 4, 2012
Location: Willow Park Church, Kelowna, British Columbia, Canada

Date: June 6, 2012
Location: Edmonton Clinic Health Academy, Edmonton, Alberta, Canada

Date: June 8, 2012
Location: Royal Canadian Legion Branch 362, Saskatchewan, Canada"

Dunno why we were skipped; are they still stinging from the bad
press of that postcard campaign? The overwhelming secularism and pro-
choice stance of this province? More's the pity, as I would have loved
another chance to stand on a picket line...

At the risk of being crude...

I think I'm going to start a Blowjob March. Because I am a blowjob survivor. I have lived my entire life knowing a world where blowjobs are free and legal. And I, a blowjob survivor, have an obligation to the other pre-born who did not survive.

And now I'm going to go bleach my brain, because I'd rather not contemplate anyone's parents getting blowjobs.

Calgary isn't the capital I guess?  But, neither is Kelowna...

Health Academy?  What is that?

Thing is, it seems their "talks" are all being held in Churches... except when they come to Alberta o_o  What is up with that?  

Gaby... all that digested, um...

They seem to have a specific list of places they want to show up at, Calgary
not being on the list, while gives me some relief, still does not absolve us,
i think, from trying to mount some show and come up with counter slogan
ideas... I think we should still try and brainstorm some good ideas and put
them out there for the rest of the pro-choice ~ pro rights people to benefit
from.

pro-choice group on campus?

I've fired off emails to the Women's Resource Centre and Safe
Spaces (plus left a note on the latter's FB page, just in case), which
should cover that angle. I also lobbed emails at two prominent pro-
choicers that I know of, asking for advice, and I'm just about to hit
up a sympathetic Canadian voice on FTB.

I can't find any other groups or protests planned, which means the
CCBR succeeded in keeping this hush-hush. A common tactic of the anti-
choice crowd is to keep quiet about their plans until the last minute,
as that makes it tougher for pro-choicers to throw up a protest and
easier for keep the floor to themselves.

Posters are in the works, too, i just need to tear myself away from
my book. It's a tough battle... :'(

Hi Kelly,

I live in Blackfalds, which you will be driving by (10 minutes North of Red Deer). Would you mind picking me up on the way?

Thank you,

Twyla Gill
