Women's Right's At Stake....Still...(oh yeah, miley cyrus fat)

IMPORTANT! PRESS RELEASE!

Women's Rights at Stake this Election

     On November 6, 2012 women's rights will be an issue at the voting polls. Amendment 6 proposes public funding to be unavailable for women wanting abortions, unless proven a case of incest, rape or a detriment to the mother's health. 
     Prominent community organizer and feminist activist-writer, Crystal Rose Bix, has organized the rally on November 5, st
ating, "Women will not tolerate Mitt Romney's anti-women agenda. I was born in a generation where I was taught to be just as capable as any man to make decisions for myself. Women's issues have consistently been swept under the rug, and this is a blatant disrespect of equality and the general public's intelligence. We will not see our rights taken away."
     Planned Parenthood first opened in 1916, by Margaret Sanger for similar reasons. Republican candidate Mitt Romney has stated he will retract 'Obamacare', which provides not only contraceptives, but cervical check-ups, mammograms and STI testing for those not insured, promptly upon retaining office and cut public funding for abortions.
     College student Kathryn McAplin explains, "If I didn't have access to contraceptives, which Obama will provide, and I got pregnant by an irresponsible man while this law was in place, I would have to keep the child, leave school, focus on raising a child and apply for welfare. If that's not second class citizenship, I don't know what is." Economic issues, such as cutting benefits for low-income families, including welfare, is also a hot topic this election.
      Women and men will gather November 5, 2012 at 5 p.m., the day before the elections, at the U.S. Federal Courthouse, downtown Fort Lauderdale, to encourage voters to vote no on Amendment 6, in association with community organizer Crystal Rose Bix and prominent feminist group R.Y.P.E.


**IF YOU CAN HELP SPREAD THIS PRESS RELEASE IT WOULD BE MUCH APPRECIATED**




WOMEN'S RALLY - VOTE NO ON 6




a funny conversation on this issue - 








Jeff Weinberger Sorry, but this seems more like a not too thinly veiled attempt to paint Obama as the pro-woman candidate to get people to vote for him, rather than a rally for women's rights. But if you look at what Obama has brought to women globally and domestically, he's been a nightmare. Asserting women's rights by supporting mass murderers is not a winning formula for working class women, or people in general.

Crystal Rose Bix I disagree. I didn't personally have access to contraception due to my status as a low income earner, in New Mexico (where i was trying to start a project) I recieved Obamacare which was implimented in few states before the over all start of the program. IF I DO NOT HAVE OBAMA CARE I WOULD NOT GET CONTRACEPTION AND I WOULDN'T EVEN HAVE TIME TO HAVE ORGANIZED THIS EVENT DUE TO THE RESPONSIBILITIES OF TAKING CARE OF A CHILD IF I HAPPENED TO GET PREGNANT BY MY BOYFRIEND BECAUSE CONDOMS ARE LESS EFFECTIVE AT PREVENTING PREGNANCY. THATS WHY WE NEED TO VOTE FOR OBAMA BECAUSE IN REALITY NO ONE WOULD HAVE GONE OUT TO PROTEST PROP 6.

Crystal Rose Bix NOT ONLY THAT BECAUSE OF NOT HAVING ANY MONEY DESPITE ME ME WORKING CLASS, I WOULD HAVE NEVER HAD A SINGLE MAMMOGRAM OR PAP SMEAR BOTH WHICH HAVE BE PROVEN TO PREVENT CANCER BEFORE ITS TOO LATE IF DONE ANNUALLY.

Crystal Rose Bix me being*

Crystal Rose Bix so, i obviously don't agree. middle class people aren't the only women who need these things

Jeff Weinberger before Obamacare, which does far more for Big Insurance than it does for the health of the working class (consider what Obama is doing to the environment to see how much he really cares about women's health), you could have gone to any Planned Parenthood clinic for basic women's health services...Obamacare didn't initiate those services...I understand it's a complicated issue, Crystal, but as long as we keep voting for the purveyors of burgeoning class domination, mass murder and ecocide - among whom Obama inarguably can be counted as public enemy #1 - because 'my issue is vital,' we're on a losing path in the big picture

Crystal Rose Bix planned parenthood was recently closed down in my neighborhood. breast cancer is one of the number killers of women....

Marc Luzietti abortion isn't contraception. Obamamcare will pay for the pill, but, unlike Romneycare in Massachusetts, won't pay for abortions.

Crystal Rose Bix obamacare provides free contraception which will prevent the people who can't avoid abortions even if its legal to not have even make that decision financially and emotionally
Crystal Rose Bix women don't WANT abortions, if they have an abortion it's out very careful consideration and pressure because they're lives could very well be ruined having a child and that child's life could very well (most likely) be ruined because you most likely need welfare which would be CUT if romney is elected and championed if obama IS elected.

Crystal Rose Bix because you cannot make a man stay in the picture because biologically he does not get pregnant, and anyways men should not even be representing or discussing this issue in opinion at all because it is not their body. i want free contraception, access to abortion no matter what, more access to programs such as welfare because women and minorities are disporportionally effected by poverty, free mammograms, free cervical checks, free STI testing for everyone, doctors to not legally be allowed deny a women access to these things, and not have to prove in the legal system if i was raped or not because even though that law isn't in place, most women are not believed and are scared to be riduculed for coming about being raped anyway. so my friend, i believe your remarks are narrow, close minded, and very androcentric

Crystal Rose Bix the abortion thing is the amendment to not have to prove youwere raped and to not have to be denied access to abortion, just to clarify there's 2 different angles to this

Crystal Rose Bix and besides you're forgetting, i don't like obama, i like obamacare, no matter who is elected and this is fact, war will continue, the united states will continue to kill women children and otherwise, because a single person in office can't stop the system at hand. so...the only thing that would be different with the candidates elected would be whether or not i will have rights. so. there.

Crystal Rose Bix i mean might as well get liberal support while i'm at it, considering most of the population doesn't even care about ending capitalism. and as an anarchist, it's hard not to alienate the general public, look at occupy, it's necessary to come together on common issues that directly effect us, so we can work together on longer term goals. like ending war. which can only be acheived if at least we are looking at eachother as equal allies instead of as second class citizens, don't you think?

Jeff Weinberger Obama is not a champion of welfare, Crystal! Show me your source for that. In fact, it was the Dem Bill Clinton who created the policy, which Obama follows, of 'welfare to work' which denied welfare to tens of thousands who needed it and constituted amajor step toward dismantling the welfare state which any society under capitalism desperately needs as a stopgap to mass destitution.

I'm opposed to Obamacare as it fundamentally is a windfall for Big Insurance. We need single-payer, health care for all, and to take insurance out of the health care picture completely. And, again, Obamacare did nothing progressive re providing women's health services that wasn't already previously available. 

The path you're on is regressive and ultimately bad for women and the rest of us. Fight for the issue outside the electoral circus or you're just endorsing the ongoing undermining of women's rights here and internationally.

Crystal Rose Bix "Obamacare did nothing progressive re providing women's health services that wasn't already previously available. " thats not true! I HAVE FREE CONTRACEPTION AND A MEDICAL CARE CARD FROM NEW MEXICO, IF I GO TO THAT STATE AT THIS MOMENT I CAN HAVE A FREE MAMMOGRAM, FREE STI TESTING WHICH I HAVE ONLY BEEN TESTING FOR AIDS WHICH IS USUALLY FREE, BUT OTHER ONES ARE USUALLY PROVIDE DURING GENERAL CHECKUPS WHICH I HAVENT HAD SINCE I WAS A CHILD BECAUSE I CANNOT AFFORD IT, A FREE PAP SMEAR WHICH I HAVE ONLY HAD ONE (! THIS IS VERY BAD, I GET LECTURED ABOUT THIS ANY TIME I TALK TO A HEALTH CARE PROFESSIONAL) IN MY LIFE BECAUSE I HAVE NO MONEY AND REGULAR HOSPITALS DO NOT PROVIDE THIS SERVICE ONLY PRIVATE DOCTORS AND CERTAIN CLINICS (THIS IS BEFORE OBAMACARE IS IMPLEMENTED IT WAS THE CHOICE OF INDIVIDUAL STATES TO VOTE ON HAVING THE PROGRAM, NEW MEXICO WAS ONE OF THE IN FAVOR OF OBAMACARE - THIS WAS AN ISSUE IN TAOS WHICH IS CLOSE TO SANTA FE, THE CAPITAL, THIS IS HOW I KNOW I KNEW PEOPLE ACTIVE ON THIS ISSUE BACK IN JULY/AUGUST) . SO WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?!!

Crystal Rose Bix *I HAVE NEVER BEEN TESTING FOR ANY STI....UM THATS DANGEROUS DON'T YOU THINK?

Crystal Rose Bix i am fighting outside the system....i'm anarchist...duh...but if women were all of suddent faced with not having the right to vote....don't you think at that point even anarchists and communists should protest that issue? it doesn't mean be completely inactive when your rights are regressing....

Crystal Rose Bix theres no reason any woman shouldn't have access to free mammograms, cervical checks, contraception, or annual check ups when cervical cancer, breast cancer and STIs are easily prevented and kill not just women, but men too. i could have died from all these things and that would be once less anti-capitalist/community activist actually makign a difference. do you know how many people have become anti-capitalist community activist because i have held workshops on radical feminism? ALOT!! i'm only 22...and i can't even go to school let alone afford a child. what if i died in two years or something all because people are sitting on the computer making ignorant comments when tons of people would be supporting KEEPING AND GETTING these important services so we could have a future and a chance at equality? i'm lucky i'm even in the united states and so close to equality. but the reality is women are nOT equaly not socially not legally and poorly represented in politics nationally and internationally. it is people like you who consistently put women's issues as a second priority that will magically be taken care of if there's a revolution. there's been many revolutions my friend, and which country has true equality. none. so really by your passiveness and pessimism and inability to work with the general public on tangible issues that actually can be changed immediately hinders the growth of our society. fuck obama. fuck two party politics. but my issues as a women WILL NOT BE PUT ON A BACK BURNER ANY LONGER. ecoonmically women are treated like shit. this is why. it's because i have the ability to get pregnant, get paid less, the man can leave me if they choose and i have less of a chance to have affordable housing. how can i pay to have an annual check up to find out i have an STI or cancer if people don't want to hire me because i'm a woman? or don't want to pay me as much? or maturnity leave? how can i get a better job when men beeat up women all the time, like my father did to me, to actually make more than min. wadge when the legal system chooses to take sides with men ALL THE TIME. this is why i was in foster care, dropped out of school to run away from foster why i can't get a good job and why i can't afford a child and why i need free contraception so at they fucking least i can prevent bringing a child into this fucked world. i mean come on, why is this difficult to understand?

Crystal Rose Bix just a gentrification reinforces racism and class, taking away my free contraception and right to have an abortion reinforces sexism and economic inequality for women. this is not as much a health issue but an economic issue just so i can keep enough rights to keep my head above water so i can engage in silly arguments and activism and trying to stop corrupt systems....i mean...do you think i would even have the luxury of sitting on the computer for a few minutes? thats slavery my friend.

  2. Margaret Sanger was a explicit eugenicist. Adolf Hitler followed up on her plan to use abortion and birth control as a State program to slowly get rid of the "inferiors".

  3. Just because Hitler used Margaret Sanger's plan for birth control, does not make quoting her irrelevant. Also, just because I quoted a person, doesn't mean I 100% subscribe to their views. Hitler btw, made the Autobaun. Quite an achievement.
