14Valentines2012- Politics

lady_writes — Tue, 07 Feb 2012 03:02:56 GMT

I've spent the past year getting into ASOIAF and the way various women in the universe handle political intrigue is wonderful to me, even when the fandom at large fail.

Mississippi Personhood Amendment

Okay, so I don't usually do this, but this is an issue near and dear to me and this is getting ~~very little~~ no attention in the mainstream media.

Mississippi is voting on November 8th on whether to pass Amendment 26, the "Personhood Amendment". This amendment would grant fertilized eggs and fetuses personhood status.

Putting aside the contentious issue of abortion, this would effectively outlaw birth control and criminalize women who have miscarriages. This is not a good thing.

Jackson Women's Health Organization is the only place women can get abortions in the entire state, and they are trying to launch a grassroots movement against this amendment. This doesn't just apply to Mississippi, though, as Personhood USA, the group that introduced this amendment, is trying to introduce identical amendments in all 50 states.

What's more, in Mississippi, this amendment is expected to pass. It even has Mississippi Democrats, including the Attorney General, Jim Hood, backing it.

The reason I'm posting this here is because I made a meager donation to the Jackson Women's Health Organization this morning, and I received a personal email back hours later - on a Sunday - thanking me and noting that I'm one of the first "outside" people to contribute.

So if you sometimes pass on political action because you figure that enough other people will do something to make a difference, make an exception on this one. My RSS reader is near silent on this amendment. I only found out about it through a feminist blog. The mainstream media is not reporting on it.

If there is ever a time to donate or send a letter in protest, this would be it.

What to do?

- Read up on it. Wake Up, Mississippi is the home of the grassroots effort to fight this amendment. Daily Kos also has a thorough story on it.

- If you can afford it, you can donate at the site's link.

- You can contact the Democratic National Committee to see why more of our representatives aren't speaking out against this.

- Like this Facebook page to help spread awareness.

Hi,
Im Kellie, 21, student, prone to abusing ellipses. My tenth fandom-versary is roughly a year from now, and I'm horrible at commiting to things. I sew, paint, build, and spend too much time trolling the internet for music/ and pictures of pretty people doing equally pretty or dirty things. I 've recently created a tumblr, that Im gonna start posting art clothes jewelry and macros on........if you're out there, who are you???

lady_writes — Mon, 02 May 2011 07:57:15 GMT

i think im having actual panic attacks over my thesis proposal......it getting hard to breath around the lump in my throat, my eyes are welling my heart is racing and if i dont stop scratching at my arms and head im going to bleed. architecture was the worst idea i ever got suckered into and i would like nothing mare than to quit right now, but im pretty sure my parents would eviscerate me. i cant get a coherent proposal together, im drawing a blank on all possible case studies and every attempt at a poster i make is shit, i have spent all day eating my anxiety, and now that im out of food i dunno what to do with my self. the google doc tab is mocking me behind my back and photoshop is openly laughing at me. fuck school. i feel sick

ARGH!

I am so very sorry to anyone who comments on any of the 14 Valentines paintings and didn't get a reply until now. My life has been painfully hectic and since I'm in a slight lull now I can finally go back and look at what everybody else posted to the comm. On the bright side, out of those 2 weeks of madness, I got to hand out backstage w/ flogging molly at my favorite venue in the city and I got my chair design approved!!\o/!!

Now i just have to build it. /o\
