Last night, on the anniversary of Sarah Weddington's 1973 triumph, M. and I went to Monkeywrench to see The Abortion Diaries (Penny Lane) and Teen Mami (Laura Donnelly). I'm so glad I went to that instead of going to Dart Bowl, which was also on the table for about 5 seconds. It was especially cool to see the Teen Mami documentary, as it was a submission to Ladyfest Texas in 2004, but didn't get accepted due to the tyrannical reign of the film committee chair at the time.
Good job organizing, Horrendous Cacophony!
The Lilith Fund was there to talk about their program. They get 15-20 calls every day on their hotline. And they have so few funds to give out they can only give like $50 to each who needs it. They actually had to shut down recently due to the influx of Hurricane survivors who needed abortions - they ran out of money - but they're up and running again.
And on ABC news tonight, a story about how the pro-lifers are energized about the shift on the supreme court, and there are currently 5 states passing anti-abortion laws to purposely force the issue to go before the supreme court.
