Today, some anti-choicers showed up. Our impromptu counter-protest kicked some ass. Then, one of UCF’s resident “prophets” showed up to yell at us “wicked girls.”
I just want to thank the awesome people who came out to support choice and a peaceful, non-hateful message.

Today we had some anti-choice demonstrators try to tell us the problems in our world arise from killing babies. Well, I laughed that off, to say the least.
This is an awesome picture! This is the same man that came up during the free speech portion and attributed “life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness” to the Constitution. Nope, that was the Deceleration of Independence. Nope. Stop it.
If you identify as a feminist (assumed since you’re reading this), you no doubt feel quite frustrated about the state of reproductive rights in America. Perhaps most frustrating is the way that the debate is framed. And, if you’re like me, you’ve probably also spent an ungodly amount of time trying to make some of those self-righteous so-called “pro-lifers” understand the importance of reproductive rights. To celebrate the very first “Masculinity Monday,” and this is from the “masculine perspective,” and there are few things more masculine than arguing, I am going to lay out my personal go-to points for when I engage anti-choicers. Undoubtedly, my viewpoints will echo yours, but I enjoy the self-indulgence of writing down my thoughts for others, and you – like most people — enjoy reading accounts from like-minded individuals, so presumably (and hopefully) you will enjoy reading my thoughts as much as I have enjoyed writing them for you.
The VOX: Voices for Planned Parenthood chapter at UCF has a lot of feelings. Here are a few.
