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…and influential. And as of late, OSA members have started clinic “rescues” again. Some of their members are currently charged with violating federal law, blocking entrances to clinics.

But one thing to make clear here, there are SO MANY other anti-abortion extremist groups out there. SO MANY.

During this OSA event, we saw something happening. And it is so under the radar, y’all. It’s not ok.

We mentioned above there are other anti-abortion groups. Big ones. REALLY big ones. We have talked about Love Life before, how it is growing and how super well-funded they are. SO. MUCH. MONEY.

Along with Love Life, OSA is also working with End Abortion Now, another super well-funded extremist org, and the even larger and more active LiveAction, headed by Lila Rose.

LiveAction and Lila Rose worked to spread falsified videos of a Planned Parenthood meeting a few years back, among other things. LiveAction has SO. MUCH. MONEY. Y’all. Look these people up.

So apparently OSA has managed to align Love Life, End Abortion Now, and LiveAction. Their stated goal is to get people elected to office who will introduce their “equal protection” bill, which is basically a personhood bill on nasty steroids.

All of these groups are working together, along with likeminded smaller well-funded people and groups. For example, the lawyer who worked on SB8 in Texas, Bradley Pierce, is working with Love Life on a project literally called “Legalizing Life.” This is just one SMALL example.

And meanwhile, the huge and well-funded beyond belief hate group Alliance Defending Freedom is flying above them all, writing legislation and working with them to get it passed. See the Dobbs decision; Alliance Defending Freedom crafted that law, and you see where that got us.

We are NOT ok, y’all. Our rights are under attack here. YOUR rights to your body, to be who you are, and to love who you love, all of it is under attack by these people.

This is all for real. Really.  Look around. The Dobbs decision, anti-trans bills, the fights over drag queen story hours and library books. It is ALL the same thing. These people working to take our rights.

And most people don’t even know it is happening until it’s too late. See the Dobbs decision.

These people are working together 24/7 to take your rights, through laws, the courts and the court of public opinion. They have done so much damage ALREADY while they WEREN’T working together.

We are not ok, y’all. Until we answer their work with the same energy and organization, we are doomed to fail. Are the groups working to safeguard our rights working together with the same focus and energy??

We Engage does what we can with our limited staff and budget to show what antis – Christian Nationalist extremists - do on the clinic sidewalks and elsewhere. How it affects all of our lives. YOUR lives. YOU need to know who they are and that they are coming for YOUR rights.

With your support and donations, we can do more to draw attention to these groups attacking our rights, as well as let them know we won’t stand by while they try it.

Please donate to We Engage so we can continue to shine a light on these people and fight back for our rights. All donations go to fighting back against these Christian Nationalists and their extremist activities.

Together we can do more. Because THEY are working 24/7 to take your rights. Are you working that hard to protect your rights from them? We engage…and you should too! Please donate today!
