This wonderfully done documentary aired on MSNBC a year ago and it is now online. If you click on the link you should be able to watch all 6 parts of it in the video embedded into it (to view the next part click on the video boxes for each one on the right hand side).

I’m going to watch it later.

Love,

Rabble

reblogging to remember to watch later. 

“Make no mistake, this battle is about self-determination by women of the direction and course of their lives and their family’s lives. Abortion is about women’s hopes and dreams. Abortion is a matter of survival for women.” —

- Dr. George Tiller, murdered three years ago today by an anti-choice fanatic. (via iamdrtiller)

still so outraged about his murder.

theatlantic: Where to Find Awkward Tweets Deleted By Politicians  The Sunlight Foundation just launched a really fun, vast new site called “Politiwoops” that collects all the tweets that politicians have deleted from their Twitter feeds in the past six months. As Sunlight, which is dedicated to government transparency, explains in a blog post unveiling the site, the collection of thousands of tweets includes hacked missives, typos, and awkward lines that didn’t land well. There’s Rep. Jeff Miller asking, “Was President Obama born in the United State?” There’s President Obama promoting articles in The Atlantic. (And then backtracking!) [Image: Politiwoops] Not cool, @BarackObama. Not cool.

garlandgrey: cemetery-like-a-stage: Which is why I’m pro-life  What about the right to food? The right to shelter? The right to not have your freedom restricted to pad the dividends of the Prison-Industrial Complex? The right to make informed choices about contraception, pregnancy, and birth without being subject to domestic terrorism? The right to opt out of parenthood if you know you are unprepared, unfit, dangerous, or simply not ready? The right to an education that nurtures your particular strengths and skills? The right to safe, clean, legal abortion? These people aren’t advocating for “life.” They are advocating a political strategy that stigmatizes a legal medical procedure in order to punish those they see as sexually transgressive with either death or the financial instability that follows from a lack of reproductive choice. This will never be about life and it will always be about a longing for despotic control of people’s lives by starving them of reproductive freedom. JUST SO WE’RE CLEAR. never fuck an anti-choicer

“It is reported that about 30% of the world’s population is unemployed. That’s worse than the Great Depression, but it’s now an international phenomenon. You have 30% of the world unemployed, a huge amount of work that needs to be done just rebuilding the society alone. The people who are unemployed want to do the work, but the system is such a catastrophic failure that it cannot bring together idle hands and work. This is all hailed as a great success, and it is a great success - for a very small sector of the population.” — Noam Chomsky (via fyeahnoamchomsky)
