Hatred, NC

shesanicelady asked: I'm a Summer Organizer in California! I really love your blog. It's great to read about other organizers across the country. Hope you have a wonderful first week. I am currently trying to figure out how to submit data. Haha This might take me awhile.

I just figured this thing out. Obviously our program is over and my posting fell off, but I so enjoyed the work. How was your experience?

Mitt Romney's Economic Claims vs. The Facts

Religious Liberty vs. Same Sex Marriage: Is There Really A Conflict?

Another argument, vaguer and even less persuasive, is that gay marriage somehow does harm to heterosexual marriage. I have yet to meet anyone who can explain to me what this means. In what way would allowing same-sex partners to marry diminish the marriages of heterosexual couples?

We have so much work to do. 

NYT: As gay rights advocates intensify their campaign to legalize same-sex marriage in New York, the bulk of their money is coming from an unexpected source: a group of conservative financiers and wealthy donors to the Republican Party, most of whom are known for bankrolling right-leaning candidates and causes.

Sen. Rand Paul: Right To Health Care Is Like Believing In “Slavery”

Has the Senator ever cracked open a history textbook, or has he been too busy pining over Atlas Shrugged? This comparison is blatantly idiotic.

State Abortion Policy Shifting (NC)

I posted this link earlier today, but I reblogged a friend of mine for her commentary. Excellent. 

wheredomybluebirdfly:

This is such a shame.  For some women, a 24 hr waiting policy is only 24 hrs more of agony.  For some women, having to be there for an ultrasound is only digging the knife in deeper.  For some women, preventative programs through planned parenthood are the only source they have for contraceptive and sexual health information.  i understand that a lot of people (men) don’t like this idea of abortion, but why choose to begin to undermine my right to myself and my unborn child so you can sleep at night?  if you don’t approve, don’t get one.  but don’t start a process that works on telling me that i have no right to my own body and its reproductive system.

and pro-life license plates? come on.
