NO ONE ASKED YOU!

On November 13, the documentary No One Asked You premiered at the DOC NYC Festival in New York, NY. The film followed Lizz Winstead, co-founder of the Daily Show and founder of Lady Part Justice League/Abortion Access Front over seven years to document her work in supporting abortion access for all…Along the way, she met lots of people doing work to keep abortion accessible and they are a part of this wonderful film. The Pink House Defenders, along with many other amazing folks, were featured in No One Asked You.

We Are Not OK

We Engage and the Pink House Defenders have focused on OSA often because OSA members were regulars on the sidewalks harassing patients at Jackson Women’s Health Organization, aka the Pink House.

Also, OSA is the old “Operation Rescue”; look them up, their history is horrible…

Ain't Nobody Free...

Tomorrow, all the biggest anti-abortion ghouls, oops, groups, will be celebrating the first anniversary of the Dobbs decision at the Lincoln Memorial in Washington, DC. Groups like LiveAction, Students for Life, the Alliance Defending Freedom – the foot soldiers of the patriarchy. Let that sink in…they are celebrating at the LINCOLN MEMORIAL.

"Abolitionists" Rising

Only a few days after the Operation Save America (OSA) event in South Carolina, the city of Wichita, Kansas was invaded by an anti-abortion group from Oklahoma called Free The States, aka Abolitionists Rising…

A Personhood Bill on Steroids

Last week, Operation Save America (OSA), formerly Operation Rescue, held their annual Leadership Conference in Greenville SC. On the last day of the meeting, OSA followers and friends traveled to the state capital, Columbia, SC to have a rally in support of House Bill 3549, “South Carolina Prenatal Equal Protection Act Of 2023.” And We Engage was there…

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.

2023 - Forward Together

Hey y'all! Welcome to 2023. So here we are, same as it ever was, except different. The people of Mississippi, along with people in 12 other states, have NO clinic and NO access to abortion care. Here is a picture of the Pink House today. It’s going to be a high-end consignment shop now.

Radicalizing Churches - LoveLife

We are always talking about how well organized the anti-abortion movement is, but very few (yeah, we're looking at you Operation Save America) have the systems or procedures in place that Love Life has developed. Let's just say that they have their indoctrination plan down to an art.

Knowledge Is Power

Let’s talk about goals some more. We need to see what success looks like so we can learn and get there ourselves. Our neighbor to the north, Canada, is goals as far as abortion. Per the National Abortion Federation of Canada, “Canada currently has no law regarding abortion; it is treated like other medical procedures and regulated through provincial/territorial and professional bodies.”

A Different World

Today I changed my personal Facebook cover photo from a picture of the Pink House Defender team to a sunrise at my new place in California. I am just now beginning to get that I actually live in California now. And the sun is rising on a whole new world, in more ways than one.

We Need to Talk...

So often, clinic escorts don’t tell people that they volunteer to help people outside clinics that provide abortion care…
