Send coat hangers to Joe Lieberman’s office with notes saying: This is quicker and more affordable than walking from hospital to hospital in a state of shock. We NEED to MAKE NOISE!!! NOTHING less will do. Send some coat hangers to Bush too and hope he hangs himself with one of them.</p> I will be contacting NAARL and Planned Parenthood about this… We who are pro choice cannot afford the silence that we seem to make…lets make some noise.

And in this post, she reminds us of the real stories behind the anger at Joe Lieberman for his cloture vote on Alito, his remarks about rape victims and Plan B that earned him the name “Rape Gurney Joe,” and at Planned Parenthood and NARAL for endorsing him (their national organizations; the Connecticut chapters haven’t, to my knowledge). If you have never had to deal with the emotional and physical aftermath of a violent rape, be thankful.

Does NARAL give a damn about those women? Nope. They want to protect their powerful friends in the illusion the power will somehow rub off on them.

NARAL stopped advocating for women long ago. Now they fundraise and play (badly) at politics.
