A Ninja Turtle Story

Hey! Y’all want to hear a ninja turtle story? But not a good one though…a bad ninja turtle story.

This weekend Jackson MS got a visit from Jeff Durbin. So who’s Jeff Durbin? Jeff is the "lead pastor" of Apologia Church in Tempe, AZ, and founder of “End Abortion Now”, an extreme anti-abortion org. He also played one of the Ninja Turtles in one of their movies.

We Engage - Moving Forward

We Engage is a SUPER small org. We would love to post more about our last days at Jackson Women’s Health Organization, Nashville and Jezebel Rebellion, along with all the other important things to know about abortion access and getting engaged in pushing back on those who are pushing us backwards. And we will. But, hell, who can even keep up these days.

We can’t. Here’s why.

It's All A Bit Much

So, you may be wondering…what is going on with We Engage and around the Pink House since the draft Supreme Court opinion on #Dobbs was leaked?

Y’all. We tired.

The Beginning of the End

BUT. Back to DC. As was said in the prior DC post, “something different” happened at the Center for Reproductive Rights’ Rally for Our Lives in Washington DC on December 1st. Actually, a couple of things happened…

So, What Is 2363.org?

What is 2363.org? It’s a website and organization pushed by LiveAction, a VERY well-funded anti-abortion group, headed by failed actress Lila Rose. The 2363 webpage says abortion is murder.

So where did this number 2363 come from? There were 2,363 abortions performed everyday in America in 2017 per statistics from the Guttmacher Institute…

This Is It

This is not a drill, y'all. This really is the final countdown. The owner, director, staff, CRR and the Pinkhouse Defenders are already fighting for your rights. You should be too.

Because very possibly, the alternative is...Gilead.

Engagement and Solidarity

We Engage was founded on two beliefs - that the bad anti-abortion laws that reach all the way to the Supreme Court, have their start on the sidewalks, and that ignoring anti-abortion protesters’ behavior and messaging on the sidewalks isn’t good for patients or our rights. This year alone, almost 400 anti-abortion laws have been introduced in the states and antis have blocked access at 3 clinics and caused all kinds of other problems outside clinics.
