stfuconservatives: pixyled: ninapedia: libertarians: Your feminist rhetoric can suck my balls. This is a thing? You’re trying to argue this? For real?

Then Bill O’Reilly linked to it (not sure if it was on his show or not). The video is called “Expose Planned Parenthood,” and is… exactly what you think it is. Highlights: The fact that they...

I can’t put into words how proud I was on that day in February; our turnout was phenomenal, and I thought, “Wow! We did it! It’s over!” …but, as the days go by, I have realized that it is so far from over;...

Firstly, thank you so so much everyone for showing up. It was so great that it didn’t rain.
