If you wish to learn more about them, I highly recommend the documentary After Tiller. I believe it's on instant video also. Please watch it, learn more, please it on. I donated money and other support to the makers of this documentary, but think it very necessary and helpful in countering stupid claims and ignorant fears.

(14,573 posts)must necessarily rest with the mother, with the support of her family and her doctor, not some pastor. politician or other old, white male. But ultimately the decision is the woman's.
It sickens me that the right wing 'christians' lied and put out the propaganda video that Fiorina so misrepresented in the recent GOP debate. Because now we see the real fruit of this right wing 'christian' propaganda. A domestic terrorist that easily acquires an AK-47 assault rifle, goes into a Planned Parenthood clinic and opens up.
Sadly, in the New Testament, Jesus says that you shall know a tree by its fruit. The fruit of PP is healthier women, better medical treatment. The fruit of these 'christian' crazies is death.
I'm glad you are starting to speak out as promised. For what it's worth you have my support.

(27,985 posts)Vessel begins with a young doctor who lived by the sea, and an unlikely idea. Rebecca Gomperts, horrified by the realities created by anti-abortion law around the world, felt compelled to challenge this. Her method: to provide abortions on a ship in offshore waters.
Her project, Women on Waves, begins as flawed spectacle, a media frenzy, faced with governmental, religious, and military blockades. But with each setback comes a more refined mission, until Rebecca has the revelation that she can use new technologies to bypass law and train women to give themselves safe abortions using WHO-sanctioned protocols with pills.
We witness the creation of an underground network of emboldened, informed activists, working at the cutting edge of global reproductive rights, who trust women to handle abortion themselves. Vessel is Rebeccas story: one of a woman who heard and answered a calling, and transformed a wildly improbable idea into a global movemet.
If I could sell my every possession and dedicate my life to helping those women, I would. Hell, someday I might.

(4,309 posts)It is, indeed, excellent and does a very good job in dispelling all of the lies and misinformation out there.
TH RW crazies and the fundies hate the idea of healthy, happy, independent and sexually active women.
