The George Tiller Memorial Abortion Fund is the National Network of Abortion Funds’ national abortion fund that helps women to pay for later abortion care and helps those who need to travel out of state for an abortion or those who live in a state that lacks an abortion fund. The Fund is managed by our national office and our National Case Manager. Women seeking later abortions must often travel very far from their home states to get to clinics that can provide the care they need. Later abortions are also significantly more expensive than first-trimester abortions.
The George Tiller Memorial Abortion Fund is the only resource of its kind.
We created the George Abortion Tiller Memorial Fund on May 31, 2009, the day that Dr. Tiller was assassinated in his church attending Sunday worship services.
[NB: More people than just cis women need and want access to abortion care.]

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

@IAmDrTiller:
Three years ago today, Dr. Tiller was murdered in his church by an anti-choice fanatic. provided abortions for 30+ years.
Abortion Gang is having a collective blog remembrance. Will you be blogging about Tiller or the need for access to late-term abortions or the principles for which he fought and, ultimately, died? Let Abortion Gang know.
Here is Feministing’s post from the day that Tiller was murdered.

Reporter: I have a question to Robert and to Scarlett. Firstly to Robert, throughout Iron Man 1 and 2, Tony Stark started off as a very egotistical character but learns how to fight as a team. And so how did you approach this role, bearing in mind that kind of maturity as a human being when it comes to the Tony Stark character, and did you learn anything throughout the three movies that you made?
And to Scarlett, to get into shape for Black Widow did you have anything special to do in terms of the diet, like did you have to eat any specific food, or that sort of thing?
Scarlett: How come you get the really interesting existential question, and I get the like, “rabbit food” question?
The respect given to you if you’re a man in the entertainment business, and the respect given to you if you’re a woman in the entertainment business: all perfectly summed up in one idiotically thought out line of questioning.
Her HuffPo article on this is super fascinating.
I hate entertainment reporters. Fuck you guys and your gendered bullshit.

keepyourboehneroutofmyuterus:
But this part of the email [from Planned Parenthood] gave me pause:
“What would this law do? First, it will force doctors to lie to their patients. Despite a complete lack of evidence, state lawmakers will require doctors to tell women seeking to end a pregnancy that an abortion will increase their risk of breast cancer.
Even though this will create additional stress for women who are already making what is, for many, a difficult decision. Even if the woman seeking abortion is a victim of rape or incest, her doctor will lie to her about her risk of breast cancer on the orders of Kansas lawmakers.“
Why does this upset me? I and others on this blog, as well as on other blogs, have written recurrently about this concept of “exceptions” in abortion care, and how it ultimately works against us and against all women who need services. The idea that giving misinformation to women who are survivors of rape or incest is somehow worse than giving misinformation to other people is ludicrous. […]
Our allies need to stop using language that reinforces the false dichotomy of “Good Abortions” and “Bad Abortions.” By creating a separate “class” of women needing abortions (in this case, those who are victims of rape or incest; but women who have health problems or have non-viable pregnancies are often similarly singled out for “exceptional” status), Planned Parenthood is unintentionally validating a deeply-ingrained societal belief that some abortions are more justified, more necessary, even better than others. The final effect is to strengthen the stigma and shame attached to abortion for all women.
[NB: more people than just cis women need and want access to abortion care and medically accurate information regarding abortion.]

welcome-to-sunnydale:
What is “Buffy the vampire slayer” ? part 3
One of the first tv shows focused on strong female characters , making the heroine , Buffy Summers , a feminist icon. After 10 years , we still remember each one of these characters : independant , fierce , warrior , bad ass. It’s not only about physical strengh or how well they use their weapons , it’s about their journey ( emotionnal pain…) and how they get through the worst , stronger than ever. They came to win , to fight ,to rise.

• Use the hand you write with.
• Make a fist with your thumb outside, not tucked inside. If it’s tucked inside your fist, when you punch someone, you might break your thumb. The thumb goes across your fingers, not on the side.
• Don’t be like in the movies—don’t aim for the face. Face punches don’t usually stop people, and you can miss when they duck their head or break your hand on their jaw. If you want to get away quickly, or end a fight, aim for the chest, or the ribs. If you really want to do some damage, e.g., you’re being attacked, aim for the throat, which will make it hard for your attacker to breathe for a hot minute.
• When you punch, you want to aim and hit with your first two knuckles. Not the flats of your fingers, and not your ring or pinky knuckles, which can break more easily. You can use your weight, if you’re on your feet, to add wallop, and spring into a punch with your feet and torso.
